New PG pics -- 20 weeks. Half Way!

Here are some updated pics of me at 20 weeks. Honestly, I have to say, these pics of my tummy look much smaller than reality (just ask my brothers who pretty much freaked when they saw my tummy last week). Part of this is because the pictures don't show my growing love handles, arms, booty and thighs. Yes, I'm one of those women who is gaining it everywhere. It will be interesting to see how huge my huge face puffs up to be, ha! Thank god for winter when I can cover up.
NOTE: please disregard the fact that I have just woken up and threw on some clothes.


Pregnancy updates -- as of today, I am a little past 21.5 weeks (22 weeks on Sunday, 3/2, mom's bday)
I can TOTALLY feel the little man moving around every day now. What a trip to be in a meeting at work and feel him tossing and turning inside my belly! It is so distracting!! Dan can't really feel him yet, though. I still feel really great -- the back is a little sore, but I'm doing back exercises and starting to walking more frequently. They say this is the best time during pregnancy -- 2nd trimester.

I am pretty much now into mostly all maternity clothes. I haven't found great maternity jeans so I am still wearing some non-maternity jeans that are forgiving with a belly band which keeps them up when I can't button them! Now is the time when we are focusing more on the baby showers and choosing baby things like cribs and nursery stuff. We still are STRUGGLING with naming our baby -- we don't even have a good short list right now. So, please let me know if you have any name suggestions!!
