How far along: 20 weeks - halfway there
Gender: A Baby girl! Taher and I are 99% sure of her name, but right now, we're leaning towards not telling people until she's born. We've been so open and honest about every step of our family growing, this is one thing that we are choosing to keep to ourselves. So, stay tuned for the announcement in July. :)
Pregnancy Symptoms: Growing pains.
Maternity Clothes: Exclusively for pants, but I can still wear dresses that aren't maternity. I had to quit wearing my own shirts cause my belly was poking through the bottom. Not an attractive look a the office.
Movement: Lil monkey has been kicking away. I only feel it every couple of days. And it doesn't really feel like kicks. Just feels like a butterfly hanging out in my tummy.
Best Moment of the Week: The ultrasound appointment. I wish I could have a daily ultrasound! I loved watching our daughter suck her thumb and grab her toes. I wish I could give her a big hug now, but I know she has a lot more baking to do before that will be possible.
Food Cravings: Fruit roll ups, caffeine free coke.
What I miss: Being able to do certain things myself. T painted one of our baby's room over the weekend, and I would have loved to be more involved in that. I did sneak in a couple times. I'm not good at letting go of control.

Be sure to check back tomorrow where I will have a very powerful guest post from a birth mom. You won't want to miss this.

You look beautiful and so does your little one!
You look wonderful and so does your little monkey. Hope you are feeling as good as you look!
I can't believe you're already halfway through. You look so good and so does baby girl! Can't wait to hear that name! ;)
Aren't ultrasounds just the bestest!!!
Leah, you are looking great! I think it is nice to have something that will be a surprise so I can totally understand why you guys have decided to keep the girl's name private. You'll have to show Taher how to update your blog for when the baby arrives. :) Looking forward to the birth mother post. Lastly, I gave you an award. :) You have probably already received it but I wanted to pass it along anyway. Hugs!
Love the pictures. thanks for sharing them.
I'm sure what ever name you and T have decided on will be very fitting.
