Who run the world?

GIRLS!

And they run the Prichard family too. We are having a sweet baby girl!! She is the next in line to a lineage of beautiful girls! I'm not exaggerating! All of the girls in the hubs family are just gorgeous! They all have the same little figure and long legs. From the looks of it, our little Lila is the same!

We are so excited! When we went in this morning, EVERYONE was so sure that we were having a boy but me. When the tech said girl, we were shocked. And she checked twice! Let's say I had a lot of I told you so phone calls to make.

We are already in love and can't wait to see her! But first...shopping!!! :)

20 weeks.

20 weeks! WHAT?!?! i don't even know what to say about that! i am halfway done with this pregnancy! CRAZY! seems like yesterday i was finding out i was pregnant! i am super excited that i have made it this far. God has definitely blessed the hubs and i with this amazing opportunity to be parents. i am a firm believer that it is a choice to be a parent. you don't have to do the deed, you know?  so, this is my opportunity to raise a child. can i tell you a secret?

sometimes this thought scares the poop out of me. i will be laying on my back, feeling sweet baby kicks, and just start crying. i know that this is a big life change...one i've been prepared to make, but still...this is HUGE!

some things i have learned about my baby this week:

{1} my baby loves justin bieber. actually, any pop/dance song. it just starts moving!
{2} my baby does not like when i shake my belly to wake him/her up to see if they are still there. i get angry kicks.

How far along?19 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: gained 5 lbs since last doctor's visit. kinda scared about the next. 
Maternity clothes? wearing more maternity clothes and some of my bigger clothes
Stretch marks? not yet. 
Sleep: horrible! i wake up five million times a night to pee or just because. my dog hogs the bed. but, i have a good book series to entertain me at wee hours of the morning.
Best moment this week: my sweet husband buying me more popsicles.
Miss Anything? HAVING ENERGY!
Movement: only when i lay down. i think i'm too active to feel it before then.
Food cravings: sugar! popsicles in particular.
Anything making you queasy or sick: not much anymore. i had the gags this week, but i think that is from my sinus infection.
Have you started to show yet: yep. :)
Gender prediction: i changed it to girl. :)
Labor Signs: no
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
