20 weeks

There is no more denying the belly. I had my 20 weeks appointment today and along with that comes measuring my belly. So here is the first of my belly pictures...After my appointment I went back to ultrasound (US #6). On day two of my official ultrasound Loretta, the technician, could not get a good nose lip pictures since Ryann had her face smashed again the placenta. She went ahead and finished out my ultrasound at the time and everything reported back normal. Loretta told me to come back when I was further along to get a better look and double check. Of course Ryann did not want to cooperate. She wouldn't hold still when Dr. Anderson was trying to get her heart rate and when Loretta tried to see her nose lip she was face down. When she did shift she put her arm over her face. We finally got a good look and there are no detectable defects. Yeah! Everything still normal. Oh and for my father in law, it's still a girl. He is not believing it is a girl, but I did hear him say the other day granddaughter. I had her double check nothing new had poked up.
Clint hung up my flower and butterfly for me. After looking at the flowers for a couple days it just did not feel complete. Back to the store I went but there were not any more large flowers to hang on the wall. I thought I would get one that had a stand and just have my father in law take off the stand but they were too much. The little flowers were not the colors I was looking for. I ended up buying two more small flowers and repainting one of them. I love how it turned out, plus I do love painting. The small flower in the middle is the one I repainted. I just repainted the outside purple and the middle yellow.

The nursery will probably sit like this for a couple months, but the big stuff is done.
I am feeling pretty good. The mornings are still rough, but not as bad as they had been. By about 10 o'clock I am feeling fine. I have excepted that I'm just not going to feel good in the mornings for the rest of my pregnancy. I feel little Ryann's kicks and nudges all the time. Time is going by fast for me and I know it's because I'm working but that is just fine. I'm taking advantage of feeling good and getting done what I can now.
Everyone is asking if I have been craving anything. I didn't think I had been but when I got to thinking about it I am always wanting oranges. The Realtor we used brought us by a big box of oranges and since then that is what I always want to snack on. Just writing about it make me want to go eat one...and I think I will.
