Zen Baby

We just got back from a super amazing perfect vacation. I feel tres relaxed and better than I have in a long time! Today I have been married to Jon for 1 year, a lot has happened in that year and I feel so blessed to have such an amazing husband and father to my children. He is truly my best friend and today all I can think of is how much more is waiting out there for us to experience together. I love you, Jonny.

Yesterday I was officially half way there! 20 weeks along, 20 more to go (hopefully no more than that!)

This baby is super relaxed and calm, or possibly just normal in comparison to Miss Julia Taylor. I don't feel constant squirming and kicks, there is mostly just peacefulness in there, and when I take the time to lie down and have a rest sometimes the little one will give a good strong kick or two. The timing is pretty regular, I can count on 10 pm for feeling baby moving around a bit, and early mornings also. Some days I have asked myself, "did I feel the baby move today?". Much different than Julia, haha. The overall feeling of this pregnancy is relaxing, gentle and quiet. I feel very at ease. This baby has a pleasant presence, its very nice. My zen baby, hopefully he/she stays that way upon arrival ;)

I am anxiously awaiting Wednesday's ultrasound to get a peek at this little person! I love the little profile shots, and seeing the little hands and feet. It still amazes me that I am growing a person inside me, a complex, beautiful little life. Life really is a miracle.

We are coming along in the name game, and sorry to all but they will remain secret until the baby decides to make an appearance! We keep coming back to one for a boy, and I'm not sure what it is about the name but it keeps staring us straight in the face and dropping hints in the strangest ways, it will not leave us alone! We have a good idea of a girl name, but it doesn't feel completely right. We're not set on it as of yet...I love it but I just don't think its "the name". Guess we will see as we go along. I'm sure theres something out there that hasn't dawned on us quite yet.

Here is an update pic, I can definitely say I've felt a "pop" in the past week alone! Belly button is pushed out and I'm finally feeling pregnant as opposed to "chubs". At least I'm only gaining in the tummy area...for now...!




20 weeks + 1 day
