  We are halfway through the pregnancy! I cannot believe that I am already 20 weeks pregnant. In just 4 weeks, Noah will be considered "viable" this basically means that if I go into labor at any point that the doctors will try everything possible to save the baby. It's so crazy to think that 24 weeks is what is considered "viable". I feel like I have been pregnant forever, and forget to think that baby is still so teeny tiny in my belly when I am starting to feel like a balloon lol. 
  
  In other news, I had my anatomy scan this week and it honestly was pretty uncomfortable if I am going to totally be honest. This ultrasound is basically for your doctor and your significant other lol. The screen was facing away from me the entire time and I only got to see Noah for a little bit at the end and we didn't get any print out pictures. We had to ask if we were going to get any photos and the lady said we could take them on our phone. That really sucked! The anatomy scan is so that your doctor can make sure that your baby is growing properly and that their brain is developed. They look at the baby's heart and they check pretty much all of their limbs to make sure everything is growing according to plan and on time.

  For the entire scan, it just feels like the ultrasound technician is pushing on your belly so hard and its totally uncomfortable. Luckily, Jordan was cheering me up and making me laugh the whole time. It made me feel so much better because she was pushing so hard on my belly! Baby Noah is just a little wiggle worm and didn't want to sit still so she had to move around a lot and I feel like it took a lot longer than normal. They did confirm at the anatomy scan that Noah was definitely still a boy and it made me happy because we already have a ton of baby boy clothes! Well, that is pretty much how week 20 is going! Still cannot believe that we are halfway done, I cannot wait to meet my little nugget!
