- My Husband: Ok so no one's perfect and of course there are times when we can drive each other MAD! But I'm in love:) He has made a point to make it to everyone of our baby appointments and has been so great through my pregnancy!
- My healthy growing baby girl: Need I say more??
- My family: I love spending time with my family. Regretfully I don't get to spend as much time as I would like just hanging out with my family. Thanksgiving is the best time for this:) We always go to my sister's for Thanksgiving day and her and my BIL make a huge spread of all the favorites! Plus we usually celebrate my birthday so extra desert yummy! (I'm pretty sure I gained a few pounds-thank goodness for maternity jeans! haha)
- My friends: I love getting together with my college friends for our monthly bookclub. Even though we spend but a rare moment actually talking about the book, I love just having a time to get together! Also loving all our couple friends and my work friends. Everyone is so excited about our little one. I try to not be a gushing momma to be, but if people ask me about her then I feel it's okay to share! Loving all the fun things that our friends are telling us to prepare us for parenthood-looking forward to experiencing it for ourselves. And I'm in love with all the little gifts that people have given us for baby-books, toys, outfits. So thankful for all the love that people have for her already!
- Health:
- My job: Again I may complain about this but I am thankful for not just any job. I work with the best doctor ever (well that's my opinion) He truly cares about his patients and me! Also, all the people that I work with are great! Everyone is so caring and go out of their way to help each other.

Giving Thanks
This post may be a little mushy (call it the pregnancy hormones!) but I have so much to be thankful for!

Half way:)
That's right- we have officially reached 20 weeks!!! This is a milestone in and of itself, but this week also marked the first time we felt our little sweet pea move:) It's so surreal and I'm left with feeling both excitement and anxiety(there's so much left to do!)
Size of baby: A small cantaloupe or a large banana (these two are very different but whatever)
Belly button in or out: IN
Stretch Marks: NO
Best moment of the week: Feeling you move! I thought I felt a little flutter here and there last week but it was gone as quick as it started and I was never for sure. Then on Saturday night I was laying down after Christmas shopping with my family all day and I thought I felt a little kick. I quickly placed my hand on my lower abdomen and felt two more kicks, each one a bit stronger. Unfortunately, Adam wasn't quick enough to feel it at this time. The next morning right after waking up, Adam and I were laying in bed talking and the baby was little miss wiggly. Adam was goofing off and singing (if you know him-he sings alot, you've probably received a singing voicemail from him at some time!) and the little one loved it! She was dancing all over the place and Adam felt a few kicks (not too strong but a bit stronger than the night before). It was crazy! Ok so we secretly joked that maybe she didn't like daddy's singing and was kicking to make him stop please haha!
Food cravings/aversions: Still no real food cravings-finally had me some oreos! No aversions either but I've been paying a bit more attention to what I eat. Trying to avoid spicy foods or anything that may cause indigestion. I have indulged in a bit more dessert than usual:(
Sleep: Sleeping pretty good at night. Still getting up at least once during the night to empty the bladder but quickly fall back to sleep. Sleeping mostly on my side and trying to avoid the stomach
Side note: This weekend while shopping I picked a few cute things (off the clearance rack nonetheless) for baby girl next spring/summer:) So exciting!
This weekend we plan on looking at furniture again and possibly registering!

It's A.....
GIRL!
And she shall be called....Baby Girl Davis:) Haha
We had our anatomy scan on Wednesday, October 26th! Baby girl was just as excited as her parents-she was so fidgety and wiggling all over the place. The ultrasound tech even asked me if I drank alot of caffeine because the baby wouldn't stay still!! (the answer of course was NO-none at all!) But everything went great-we saw all her little parts and everything seems to be working. No areas of concern-what a relief! Heartrate was 146bpm. Head circumference and abdomen circumference she measured a few days bigger than expected. It was so surreal to see her moving all over, especially since I have yet to feel even a little flutter.
