20 weeks

our tiny kitten is now half way cooked, ~10.5 ounces, and the length of a banana.  he's still tucked way up in there and barely showing unless i'm sitting down, but he moves all the time -- so much that sometimes i have to ask him to settle down.  colby hasn't been able to feel him moving since the first time, but there will be plenty of opportunity for that down the road.

i feel pretty great, definitely rocking that pregnancy glow.  i've been reading the december 2012 birth club forum on babycenter.com and counting my blessings every day.  the people on there are so much larger than i am, and many are having bladder control problems, trouble getting out of bed, waddling, swelling, etc.  i just look like i just ate an entire pizza and loved it.  i know that tougher times are down the road, but i'm thankful to be half way and having no embarrassing problems like that.  i'm even sleeping really well, still able to lie on my back and stomach with no protest from kitten.

my best friend sent me all of her maternity clothes and some extra from her friend as well, so i have TONS of stuff to wear and it looks like i'll make it through this entire process with only buying one maternity outfit (and a lot of huge new bras.)  if we have a girl, we also will have tons of baby stuff given to us, and this will be the world's cheapest pregnancy ever of all time.

i started a separate photo album for baby belly pics since there were too many i liked to post them all here:  kitten thompson
