22 weeks!  We had an appointment with the doctor yesterday morning and she said everything looks exactly how it should and we can stop worrying and relax.  It was a short check up, but the next one is when I drink the orange drink.  I feel the baby fluttering around everyday and last week (10/10), I actually felt her from the outside.  That's only happened a couple times now.  I have a new pregnancy symptom - heartburn.  And, for some reason, I bought stuff to make chili this week. 

My sister took these pictures over the weekend.  I love them!

My nephew, Thomas, says that Sheldon's name should be Mr. Don't Be Fooled By The Cuteness.  I agree.

This is what is left of my fall coffee table centerpiece.  The glass vase they were in (one of my wedding vase centerpieces), was broken in pieces all over the floor. 

The very next day he decided to chew up my wedding book.  Both the vase (it was filled with seashells before)  and the book have been in the same place since February, so I thought they were safe.  I should have known better.

We did think ahead and put up a baby gate in front of the fireplace.  How lovely.  We built a fire the other night when we watched a couple movies, and I just knew that he would love to get out the charred logs and eat them.

The other baby gate protects my books.  He's gotten to them twice.  We used to keep him confined to the kitchen with this gate until he escaped, so he actually could eat some more books if he thought hard enough.

This is one of his favorite things to destroy.  If we forget to close the bathroom door, he goes for the wet wipes.  We've had to buy a new container 3 times already.

I would say 'Mr. Don't Be Fooled By The Cuteness' fits him perfectly.

Here we are at 20 weeks!  Don't ask me why I took a picture of myself in my lounging around clothes.  I wouldn't walk out of the house in this outfit (not when I'm this big), so I'm not sure why I'm ok with posting it on the internet.  Next time, I won't be lazy and I'll change my clothes.  Maybe.

I'm definitely feeling some flutters.  I think that started (for sure) last week, or maybe even week 18.  No interesting pregnancy symptoms, so I guess that's good that everything is just normal.  The biggest news is....IT'S A GIRL!!!  I have nephews, I don't know anything about little girls!  We are very excited and absolutely can't wait to see her in February.
