#2, 20 Weeks

I did this with Maya so thought maybe I should try it again this time.

How far along? 20 weeks
Best moment this week?  We had the anatomy scan on Monday. Found out it's likely a girl. And she looks "perfect" but she's stubborn and wouldn't move. I seriously was wondering if she was alive for the first 15 minutes or so of the scan. She was crammed up in the corner with her face buried. I was actually the same corner that Maya liked. But this little one was head up. After 45 minutes or so of trying to get the measurements the tech asked me to empty my bladder and then hopefully she would move. She tried for another 15 minutes or so and had me roll onto my side. She then left to talk to the radiologist. She came back with new tech to try to get more shots of her face. Fortunately she had moved. Unfortunately, she then looked like this
That's both hands in front of her face. I guess she's camera shy. After an hour and a half we finally had all the pictures they needed. But we didn't really get any good ones of her.

After the appointment, we went to get Maya from a friends house. I told her she was getting a baby sister. She replied "or a baby brother. We don't know yet." I tried to explain that the doctor took a picture and said that it was probably a sister. At the end of the week we were talking about it again and she said "I picked! I picked!" That's exactly how it happened I'm sure. But I think it's finally sinking in. She's been talking about how baby sister can wear the clothes that are too little for her or play with her toys when baby sister gets bigger.

Movement? I've been feeling her move sporadically for 4ish weeks now. I'm hoping for consistent movements soon. Thanks to Maya I'm a little paranoid about movement. At least she's kicking me as I type this. She had me a little worried yesterday.

Food cravings? Salad, salad, and more salad
What I miss? Sleep. And yes I know it's only going to get worse before it gets better.
What I'm looking forward to?  My OB appointment on Tuesday
Milestones? Nothing major this week.  We did purchase some baby stuff yesterday. Got a matching outfit for Maya and #2.
