Snowflake update

Tomorrow marks the halfway point with this pregnancy! Yay! I'm proud of myself for making it this far lol! Thankfully, most of my negative symptoms have dissipated, and I'm feeling like myself again. I still get occasional waves of nausea, but nothing bad enough that I have to take any medicine. I still get sick about once every two weeks, but that only happens when I brush my teeth. My gag reflex has definitely worsened with pregnancy. It's always been bad, but now it's really bad. TMI, I know. I temporarily gained back about 4 of the pounds that I had lost, but have since lost that, plus one. Doctor isn't concerned, as long as I continue to eat. Apparently baby is stealing from me again! Maybe I'll be one of those lucky ones that can leave the hospital wearing her pre-pregnancy clothes! :) Last month we found out the sex of our little snowflake, and it was confirmed this week at our 20 week checkup and anatomy scan. IT'S A GIRL!!!!! Maia Ann Lambert is her name, and we can't wait to meet her. We were lucky to find out her gender last month, as she was such a squirmy little thing! I swear that she was break dancing in there! She was more calm at this week's appointment, and doc was able to get several good pictures of her. Anatomically, everything is growing as it should be. Her heartbeat is strong and steady at 150 bpm, and she weighs 12 ounces so far. She will be delivered via c-section, with the date to be determined later. She is right on target for a delivery around the end of August.
