Bows or Bow Ties? ? ? ? ?

Bow ties it is. . .

We are having a BOY and we are thrilled!!

We both really wanted a boy, but would have been just as excited if it were a girl. Taylor said he thought it was a boy because of some differences in this pregnancy from my first. To name a couple: not as nauseous with smells and eating/craving more meat and not as many sweats.

We are excited about this next chapter God has for us in giving us a boy. I know Taylor is over-the-moon excited because he gets to teach him things like drums, sports, how to build Lego's, and all the other boyish stuff. I am personally very excited about T-ball in the future. I think Winnie will l.o.v.e. having a little brother to play cars with, crash towers, and beat up. ;)

Giving him kisses <3 

We decided to do 2 different reveals for our families. We told the Brown's using cupcakes and my family by blowing up a balloon.

Facetiming everyone

How far along: 20 weeks... officially half way there!
Gender: BOY!!!
How big is baby: Measuring 12 ounces and 2 days ahead. Heartbeat 135.
Weight gain: 12 lbs
Maternity clothes: Maternity pants/shorts and still trying to fit into normal shirts, as long as I have a tank top on to cover the bottom of my belly. ha!
Stretch marks: None
Sleep: It's gotten better for me and for Winnie. Praise God!!
Best moment this week: Finding out we are having a SON! Seeing him and hearing his heartbeat. It's all so wonderful. :)
Miss anything: Feeling pretty content this week. Not missing too much.
Movement: He was moving around a ton during our ultrasound, which was adorable and so cool to watch, but he moves most at 9:00 at night.
Cravings: || Mostly craving meats and fresh fruit || For example: hot dogs. The other night all that sounded good was a hot dog and banana split. It was 11:30 so I didn't indulge. But for family dinner Gisele asked what sounded good to me, so she made hot dogs and caesar salad per my request. :-D  I crave the most food from 9pm until I fall asleep. I am so hungry at night.
Queasy or sick: The smell of beer has always been gross to me, but it has especially been gross this week.
Labor signs: None
Symptoms: Leg and hip pain - mostly my right leg because baby is on my lower right side.
Looking forward to: Enjoying family time with Taylor and Winnie this weekend <3 <3
