20 weeks!

Today was our 20 week appointment! Greg didn't go this time due to school :o( My doctor brought out his lovely tape measure this time and said everything was measuring normal! He told me that I am a little behind on the weight gain, but he didn't seem too concerned. Again he said, "sounds like a boy." We will see on Thursday! I'm so excited for that ultrasound I can hardly stand myself. I've been having braxton hicks contractions since 8 weeks that never hurt but I can just feel something going on so I touch my belly and it's hard. He said it was normal and not to worry about it. I have them about one every hour sometimes less, but he isn't concerned at all... I am... but what do you expect? I'm a little nervous about the ultrasound probably just as much as I am excited because I want to know if my cervix has shortened... I really really hope not! It's already on the shorter side to begin with so it makes me nervous. He thinks everything is going to be fine. I'm really glad he doesn't seem to mind that I'm so paranoid. He said even if it is short they will just monitor it closely with more ultrasounds throughout the rest of the pregnancy. Anyway we are hoping for all good things and I really don't feel like anything is wrong I just know a little too much about some things and sometimes that's not always the best.... I almost wish I would have gone through nursing school after I had all my kids... I would be less of a spaz!
