Halfway to the FINISH Line!

20 weeks makes the halfway mark, and Baby Kiss is really starting to peek out! This past week EVERYONE at work began making comments about how excited they were that they could see now. My principal even said "I didn't believe you until now!" haha! I pretty much doubled, or maybe even tripled in size from what I was a week ago! People started noticing (at about 19 1/2 weeks) last Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday...it was really funny how just all of the sudden everyone randomly began making comments around the same time! "OOOh I can see it!" they would say! I guess Baby Kiss figured she needed to make some sort of appearance at our gender reveal party that week, and at least make Mommy look kinda pregnant! I think by the official 20 week mark, I had doubled since the Gender Reveal Party on Saturday! Can we say growth spurt?!!?!?

I am in disbelief that I am already halfway through this journey...
 only 20 more weeks to go! 

20 weeks and we have a Lil' Miss Kiss in our arms!  

I can finally hold my little pregnant belly now! 

Yay! Baby Kiss is a GIRL! 

Jeff is so amazed with the tummy growth...
he makes sweet comments about it all of the time with a little smile!
