Halfway there....

I haven't posted since 15 weeks--we're now 20 weeks along!  The halfway point!  

Not much has happened in the interim--just getting bigger (both me and baby). We did have our level 2 ultrasound:

We found out that I have an anterior placenta (which means that the placenta attached to the front of my uterus, and not the back as is more typical).  It may mean that I won't feel as much movement from the baby (but I've felt some movement, so no worries here).  We decided not to find out the gender of the baby, as we'd like that moment of surprise in the delivery room.  Tom was much more awake and healthy during this ultrasound, and I'm very glad that he was able to hold my hand and enjoy the experience.  It was great to see our baby again, even if he or she was folded practically in half for most of it, making any discernible photos really hard to obtain.  I think he or she gets their stubbornness from me.   
Currently, my symptoms are pretty simple:  I get tired very easily and I'm hungry most of the time.  This fatigue is different than it was during my first trimester when I was just dragging during much of the day and asleep by 7 pm--this is getting overly tired from doing chores or other activities.  Last summer, I could go outside, mow both lawns (front and back) with our reel mower, then weed the garden and play with the dog and I'd not need to nap.  However, over the weekend, I mowed a quarter of the back lawn and cut down some burdock and I went inside and fell asleep for an hour.  I was tired for the rest of the day and I'm still feeling it today.  

The hunger is pretty simple:  I'm just hungry all the time.  I'm trying to take care to eat well, but I'm likely to grab whatever is closest and will fill me up the fastest.  It's harder to eat well when I'm super tired--I honestly don't know what I'd do if Tom hadn't taken up the responsibility of cooking for me every night of the week.   

We've ordered our crib and will start on the nursery very soon.  That, I think, will make the impending baby much more real for both of us.  I'll post photos once the room is done.  
All in all, though, life is good.  

Is it nap time yet?
