5 Months = 21 weeks 4 days!

Watch out! Gianna is the size of a papaya today and I feel like I'm the size of a house, or at least maybe a condo!

She is now able to hear outside noise so David has been talking to my belly. Right now her little face is fully formed. She has starting to settle into sleep cycles and sleeps about 12 to 14 hours a day (This of course is all according to my prego book). I can definitely tell when she is awake because those kicks are getting stronger everyday!!

My boys resting....

David can feel her moving!

21 weeks!
Yesterday David and I went for our 20 week ultrasound and had the LAMEST technician on earth! No personality and granted, they have to measure and look at everything on the baby, but she really didn't give us any insight into what we were looking at. I couldn't even see the screen. We were there for almost an hour because Gianna was moving so much they had to make sure they got acurate shots of all her organs, etc. It was cool to see her mouth open and they also said she drained her bladder. They confirmed that it's a girl and gave me a bunch of pictures of blobs that don't look like anything :( Argh!!!
Oh well, all I care about is that she is healthy and a mover and a shaker!! My mom said I moved a lot too when she was pregnant with me so Gianna is taking after momma! David even felt her last night, it was great!! She's getting a lot stronger and the movement is more like a kick or a punch rather than a pop! She's a superstar!!!

20 weeks, 3 days HALF WAY DONE!

So I'm a little over 20 weeks prenant now, HALF WAY DONE! I can feel Gianna everyday. Still just little bubbles, but I know it's her. My rotator cuff has completly healed (thank goodness) and I'm back to feeling great! I feel like my belly has gotten bigger in just the last few days.
I'm currently working in Washington DC and come home tomorrow. Traveling is fine, but being on my feet all day is harder than it used to be. Plus I can't wear the cute shoes I used to for 10+ hours. Being on a plane for 4 and 1/2 hours was ok, I went to the bathroom a number of times and just made sure to get up and move. Dr said it's fine for me to fly up until 36 weeks, but I'll be done by 30! Being away is not bad, but we miss Daddy David and he misses us too. Every night we're away he reads what is happening to Gianna from my pregnancy journey.
On Thursday we go to the Dr for our 20 week ultrasound!! This is the apt that they'll confirm the sex and check on her growth. Before this they would measure from the crown of her head to her rump, but now she's big enough to measure from head to toe. I love seeing her on the screen and watching her move. I think this will be the last ultrasound for a while.
My little Gia is about 10.5 ounces and 6.5 inches long, as long as a banana! Her digestive system is now working and she can swallow the amniotic fluid.
