I'm 20 weeks now! yeah! I feel like I can finally really start planning stuff out as far as where the baby's 'space' will be, and what stuff we need to get (nothing really... but it is nice to think about baby, eh). We're moving in a week and a half, which will keep me busy for awhile (unpacking with a 5 and 2.5 year old... fun.) And then ds#1 starts kindergarten right after that and we have our ultra-sound ... So I know the rest of this pregnancy will fly by.

Who else is half way or more? (probably most of us since I'm due at the end of December). How does it feel?

I am 20w4d. I'm so excited to be halfway done! This first half has gone by so fast. I'm dealing with more fatigue now than I did at the beginning of the pregnancy. I've actually fallen asleep a couple times on the floor, playing with ds! Crazy.

I'm 21w, 1 d right now. Yep, it's great to be past the theoretical half-way point. I think someone said that it's a psychological boost because for the first 19 weeks you're climbing up the hill, and then after you hit 20 weeks, you get to coast back down...maybe the metaphor isn't perfect, but it does feel good.

Ditto what Mary said! feels great to be past that point. I'm 21w 4d today.

Woohoo!

I am 23 weeks now and it felt great to hit 20 weeks. I am now looking forward to that 26-28 week milestone of viability if baby were to come early. I always breathe a sigh of relief when I get to that point.

I'm 24 weeks today. It is nice to be in the second half of pregnancy. This one is definitely going faster than the first one. The other day I actually felt like I wanted to slow things down and not miss out on this pregnancy. I'm enjoying it. In the end though, I won't want this to last for more than 40 weeks.

It's nice to know that the baby can hear what's going on outside now. Dh and I need to pick our songs that we sing to the baby every night. We did it with dd.

I'm almost 24 weeks so I've been over the halfway hump for a bit. I'm sure this next half of the pregnancy is going to fly since i have so much going on in my life (moving halfway across the world).

20w5d now.... and like LizaBear, I'm still nervous, but I don't think that's ever going to go away completely.

However, I am extremely excited to meet our little boy! If his movements are any indication, he's going to keep me on my toes.

I'm going to take this move easy...I have about twoweeks of overlap so it is not like we'll have to do it in one weekend or anything. We have a lot of helpers, too. I just need to remind myself to take it easy... And then my ds#1 begins kindergarten so I'll have some time with just one and he is a bit mellower by himself without big brother around.

I'm 22 and a half weeks, so I'm really, truly at least half way there (since my first two came at least a week "late").

It is a really good feeling!

Me, too! I still get scared now that if I delivered early, the baby really wouldn't have a chance, even though I am totally feeling him/her kicking and moving around in there.
