Lambert Family Love: Halfway There!

It's pretty hard to believe that I have reached the halfway point in my pregnancy! Time is flying by now and I am getting so excited! Although I have been feeling movement for about three weeks now, I really only started feeling her kick about a week ago. I read that when you are up walking around during the day that your movement actually rocks them to sleep, so I notice that when I am lying still on the couch or in bed, that is when I feel her the most. She was kicking pretty hard the other morning and I tried to get Andy to feel, but I think it is still a little too early for that. I was able to have him feel how she was hanging out on my right side the other day though. There was a noticeable hard lump there that he was able to feel!

I had a routine prenatal checkup today (20 weeks 3 days) and everything looked and sounded great according to the doctor. My doctor told me that I win the award for the cutest pregnant person and then she bent down to my stomach and said "Your mommy is so fashionable!"

So far, I have gained 16 pounds, which I am pretty happy about! I was totally expecting it to be more when I got weighed today. Hopefully I am on track to only gain about 30-35 pounds total. We'll see if it stays that way! I have tried to stay pretty active by walking in the mornings before work and on the weekends, but it is so hard to stay on a schedule when I get really busy with work.

This is a picture from my ultrasound last Friday. She had the hiccups which was so funny to watch on the screen!

I haven't had any crazy cravings yet, but I have been obsessed with Kilwins' Banana Fudge Pie ice cream lately. Everything in moderation, right?

The weather was so beautiful here in Florida this past weekend. It was in the 60s and 70s which is such a nice break from the 90 degree weather we've had all summer. We took advantage of our "cool front" as much as we could and spent a lot of time outside. On Saturday, we all went down to the Miami vs. Georgia Tech football game and were thrilled to have beat the Yellow Jackets 24-7!

This is a picture from on top of the stadium after the game.
