  How far along are you? 
  20 weeks - halfway done! Really hard to believe.

  How big is baby? 

  Banana

  Appointments this week? 

  Anatomy scan tomorrow afternoon. Super excited to know the sex, but also insanely nervous something will be wrong. All my friends/family know I am pregnant, but we haven't done the social media announcement yet - waiting until the anatomy scan is over. Everyone thinks I am being silly waiting this long to post something but it helps my anxious brain to know that when I post it, I will be as sure as possible that everything is okay, or at least aware of any potential issues. Just hoping I can get some sleep tonight. 

  Symptoms?

  Crazy weight gain but also feeling what I think are movements, so that is fun. 

  Rant/Rave/Questions?
  None right now surprisingly.
  GTKY: Where are you at on the name front? Have you picked one? Options?
  DH and I have held off on having any real discussions on names until we know the sex. But I have some ideas - for girls I like Michelle, Kara, Elise, Lucy, Faye, and Alice. When I was younger I was planning to name my future daughter Olivia (I think I started liking this name because of Law & Order SVU :P) but unfortunately it has just gotten too popular. For boys I am still kind of stumped, but I like Shane and Malcolm. Middle name will be a family name.

  Symptoms? Still my lovely SPD crap. I have started feeling the babies move more consistently and felt a strong kick from the outside last night.

  
  

  Rant/Rave/Questions? I feel really blessed to be pregnant with twins after multiple losses and trouble conceiving, but damn this is hard growing 2 people hahaha
  
  GTKY: (stolen from Monday) Where are you at on the name front? Have you picked one? Options? We have 2 favourite boys names and 2 favourite girls names picked out. Felix and Oliver for boys and Adelaide and Vivienne for girls.

  @KirstinH88 I'm definitely hoping that one of these babies is a girl so we can use it!

  How far along are you?  20 weeks.  Halfway!!

  
  

  How big is baby? whoopee cushion

  
  

  Appointments this week? Just had blood drawn because my amnio sample was contaminated.  What a mess!

  
  

  Symptoms? Still fighting my plague.  Having a harder time staying asleep lately.

  
  

  Rant/Rave/Questions? Kind of dumb, but I just bought more cough drops.  I had a coupon for $1 off 2 bags.  The store had a sale 2/$4.  So it was like getting one bag free... which is awesome when you've already gone through 5 bags haha
  
  GTKY: (stolen from Monday) Where are you at on the name front? Have you picked one? Options?  I honestly hate boy names.  So we are nowhere.  We have a great list of girl names though.

  @pammasu0909 I also have so much more trouble with boy names! I have probably 20 girl names I love and I am struggling to think of more than 2 boy names. Hoping DH comes through with some more ideas if we find out it's a boy!

  20 weeks. How they hell am I halfway there already??

   a banana 
  
  

  Appointments this week? 

  We had our anatomy scan on Monday. They discovered a cyst on her brain which means we will be doing a level II ultrasound in a few weeks to follow up. I'm trying hard not to stress about it but that's easier said than done. 
  
  

  Symptoms?
  The hip pain is so intense already it's making getting comfortable at night really hard I need o pull out my snoogle. Also I'm so exhausted al the time stil. And where the hell is that 2nd tri libido I was promised????

  
  Rant/Rave/Questions?
  I'm so irritated with this whole anterior placenta. At this with DD I was feeling regular movement. It's the best part of being pregnant and so reassuring to feel them moving to know they are ok 
  
  GTKY: (stolen from Monday) Where are you at on the name front? Have you picked one? Options?
  her name is Ruby June.

  @mama5181 I love your name choice! I'm kind of sad I don't get to use any of the girl names I picked out, but there's always next time since this is our first and we plan on having two. Hopefully the issue that was picked up at your scan resolves itself by the next ultrasound - I will be keeping you in my thoughts.
