20 weeks!! I feel like just yesterday, we found out we were having a baby, and already we have reached the half-way mark. Time is moving so quickly, and while I'm so excited to meet Mav, I feel like time is passing TOO quickly. If pregnancy goes this fast, I can only imagine how fast it will go once he is finally here! Is it pathetic that I'm already sad about him growing up?? I just want to enjoy every moment, and keep him little forever. With each passing day, my love for little Maverick grows, and I am humbled by the opportunity to be his mommy.
Pregnancy these days is much better than before. Around week 13, my sickness was completely gone. About week 16, I finally felt some of my energy return. And week 19, finding out it was a little boy growing inside me has just made this so much more real. He is very active, and moves most of the day. His strongest little kicks are usually in the afternoon or once I get into bed at night. Jeremy finally got to feel him move a couple of weeks ago, and that was just so much fun! The only real "cravings" i've had usually pass after I've eaten whatever it was that I wanted-- so nothing real consistent. However, chick-fil-a, chips and queso, sonic hotdogs, popcorn, grapes, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and Jeremy grilling burgers ALWAYS sounds good. But to Jeremy's delight, I have been pretty diverse in food choices, so he's not eating the same things over and over.
Here's some of our newest pictures of Maverick Jude. He's already such a little cutie :)
Excited for the weeks to come!
