Well, I have officially made it halfway! I am so excited for all of the new experiences that I have been and will be having. I have to admit that getting to this point has lifted a burden of concerns off my shoulders. I feel like with how healthy Jonathan is and how great I have been feeling I don't need to worry anymore about losing him. Is that too sad to bring up? Oh well, it is how I feel anyways.
I had my 20 week appointment this week, nothing too exciting. Got to hear the heart beat again and find out that all the test results and the ultrasound show everything is normal and healthy :) I was surprised to learn that I have only gained 8 pounds so far (I say only, but really I have no idea if that is good or not! I am fine with it though). I feel like it should be much more than that with how round I am... lol. The other thing I had to do while at the drs was to get a note from her so I can go on our cruise in a few weeks. FYI: apparently Carnival Cruise lines has a "Pregnancy Policy" that is quite strict. If you are 24 weeks or more on the date of embarkation (day you set sail) they will not let you board the ship. I will be almost 23 weeks when we leave, so I just barely will make the cut off! My OB seemed surprised at the rigidity of this policy, but I am glad I happened to read it in time to be prepared.
As for something more exciting, at least for me anyways, Jonathan is an acrobat now. I had felt those few flutters every once in a great while starting several weeks back, but nothing where once it happened it would happen again. On Sunday sitting in sacrament meeting I don't think he took more than a couple minutes break that whole hour. It was very amazing to me to feel this little person moving inside of me. The boys seemed disappointed that they couldn't feel it too, but I told them just wait the kicking is bound to start soon :) Yesterday he felt the need though to roll around on my bladder for a while, not cool little one! I am not looking forward to that part getting worse...lol.
I guess this is all for now, hopefully I will have some really good news to post soon as Andrew is doing his testing/interviewing for the fire department today and tomorrow...wish him luck!

Jonathan...what a wonderful name!
Feeling the baby move for the first time is magical. I loved the first few flutters and never tired of all the kicks and punches. It is a living miracle! Enjoy every minute!
BTW...you look fantastic! Pregnancy looks good on you :)
I'm so happy for you!
Congrats! I think you look great too! By the time I was 20 weeks I had gained...a lot more than 8 pounds!! I like the name you chose, it took me awhile to realize you were talking about your baby when you said Jonathan:)
you look so good! Tell Andrew Good Luck!!!
You look fantastic! I'm glad everything is looking good and healthy, so you can just relax and enjoy.
Yay for a healthy baby! And Jonathan is a way cute name. From what you had said earlier I thought it would be awhile before the two of you agreed on a name. And you do look fabulous - I love the cute pregnant look! I don't even know how much I had gained by then, but I ended up at 50 pounds so you can kind of do the math. I never felt that I had the cute pregnant look because I gained so much!
I love Jonathan as well...my brother's name too. I remember that relief feeling. Congrats!! You look great!! They have so many cute maternity clothes out now. Good luck to Andrew!
You look great!! I have about ten Jons in my family so it's popular on my end!
You look so cute Toshia, yay for half way!!
