twenty weeks. bump.

{compare kid two belly to parker belly here.}

half. way. there.

no, honestly?  i don't think this counts.  i mean, the first five weeks of pregnancy you don't even know you're pregnant {technically the first two you're not pregnant... but let's not nit pick details} & aside from a little sickness, you're still feeling fairly normal.  well, normal in the sense that your body hasn't completely morphed into belly-torpedo mode & moving it around isn't a total chore.

the second "half" of pregnancy is a whole new ballgame.

it's where it all gets legit.  i mean seriously?  do you see that belly up there?  it's actually there this week.  i'm having to really get creative with clothes & i find myself shopping the maternity section every visit to target.  sleep is a little sub-par because turning from side to side takes some extra maneuvering in order to avoid the round ligament pain.  but generally?  i'm still feeling really good.

i'm feeling lots of baby kicks, despite the discovery of an anterior placenta.  they just feel a little more muffled.  baby kicks are THE best.  it's like this little inside joke going on between me & my little guy.  even if you tell someone they're happening, they don't really know.  the little kicks i'm feeling are just our thing.  there is nothing like feeling your baby move inside your belly.

and all of a sudden sleep is my new favorite hobby.  i got 8-9 hours of sleep every night for like six nights in a row & was still dying to nap come nap-time.  baby growth spurt?  maybe.

anywho, we're starting another weekend!  my mom has been here visiting all week & i think we're gonna show her some sort of good time.  there'll probably be some seattle-sight-seeing & some good-food-eating.  all things i'm really into.  hopefully there will be lots of picture-taking because i've really slacked at that lately.

happy friday friends.
