Week 20

20 weeks and 2 days! We're halfway through, yay :)

I had a prenatal appointment yesterday and everything looks good. My doctor went over the results of my IPS tests and the baby is healthy! All the organs and bones looks great! She did tell me though that I have a two-vessel cord, or SUA which means that instead of the usual 3 blood vessels in the umbilical, I only have 2. It's pretty rare (1%) but my doctor reassured me that since everything else with the baby looked good (liver, kidneys, etc) that I had nothing to worry about. I will probably be monitored a bit more once I get my obstetrician which will hopefully be in the next 2 weeks.

I've managed to lose 1/2 pound since my last prenatal. I was so worried I'd gained 10 pounds over the holidays. The doctor isn't too concerned with my lack of weight gain at this time. My blood pressure was 102/60 which is lower than my usual 110/70 and could explain why I'm so tired during the day. My doctor didn't seem too concerned with that but did tell me to be careful when getting up due to light-headedness.

My current food craving: hummus! I'm going to make my own later today, we'll see how that turns out!

I'm taking my son in to register at his new high school tomorrow. He's pretty excited about it, which makes me very happy. Things have been going good with us here at home. He'll be 18 on Monday and we're going to a local mexican restaurant that he loves (well, we all love it!).

My husband and I have been going over baby names and we just can't seem to find anything that really stands out. We'd both like something that isn't terribly common but will still sound good when our child is an adult. I like Owen, Evan, Joel and Paul but my favorite is Liam. Hubby isn't too fond of any of them. So if anyone has any suggestions, let me know!

More later!
