boy.. or girl!?!?

Just a quick little update on my pregnancy so far.. I will be 20 weeks on Tuesday!!! I have been feeling very tired lately and have a REALLY hard time getting up and ready for the day! Kinsey and I play so hard and I think its finally catching up to me.  I have found that if we go for a walk right after breakfast I have a little bit more energy throughout the day, but not much haha.  So I think I just need to start exercising a little bit more and hopefully get my energy level back up.  I got a DVD workout that I have heard of so many preggo moms using called "10 minute solution".  So far I LOVE it!!! If you only feel like doing one of the 10 min workouts, thats all you do, or you can do all 5 and get almost a full hour workout in :).  Kinsey loves when I sit on the floor and work out and she even tries to do some of the moves!  We have fun!! I have also been battling constantly with feeling dizzy and faint.  Some days are better than others but it is so annoying! Especially when I am in a hurry to get ready or go somewhere and I have to keep sitting down to relax for a few minutes.  My doctor was worried about my lack of weight gain at my last appointment... I had only gained 2lbs for the first 17 weeks and I guess by 20 weeks you should have gained at least 10 lbs.  I feel like I eat constantly but I am much more active with this pregnancy then I was with Kinsey.. Hopefully my weight gain is starting to look better when we go to the drs on Thursday.  My belly is getting bigger and bigger by the day! My shorts that used to be big on me are now fitting perfect :) haha and I have stopped wearing some of my favorite shirts because I dont want to stretch them out ( I learned that the hard way when I was pregnant with Kinsey)  I think thats about all the updating I have for now..  Thursday is the BIG day with our targeted ultrasound to check all the parts and systems of the fetus to make sure everything is a-ok!  I declined all the extra testing that checks for downs and that type of stuff because it would make no difference to me and thats a lot of extra needle poking I dont want to have to go through lol

Cross your fingers the umbilical cord has moved from in between the babies legs so we can get a peek!!!

I am hoping for a girl because how fun would that be to have Kinsey have a sister only 22 months apart from her!? I always wanted a sister to be friends with for life.. I was lucky enough to have awesome step-sisters throughout my childhood but none that I ever lived with 24/7.

Brandon says it doesnt matter if its a boy or girl but I have heard him hint a few times he really wants a boy so he can teach him to play sports and do those "guy" things haha...
