On Wednesday I will be 20 weeks. It is amazing how much time has gone by. A few months back I felt like this was going to take forever and it was dragging than. Now I feel like it's going by pretty fast.
Tuesday with have a baby doctor appointment to do another gender ultraound. The first gender ultrasound 2 weeks ago was something we paid for but we believed was so worth it. We will see on Tuesday if the ultrasound tech verifies girl for us.

More Movement
When we went in for the ultrasound I really couldn't feel our little girl moving around very much but the last couple of days I have been having those feelings.
I know that people describe the movement as butterflies but when I think of butterflies they sound soft. The feelings I have are not completely hard but not like butterflies in my tummy either. She is an amazing little baby and I am so happy to feel her move even when I am walking and it makes me go "woooo"

Shopping and 6 days
I went shopping last night for some new pants. I was really trying to drag out being able to wear my regular pants but it got to the point that it was so uncomfortable that I just couldn't wear them anymore. Bending over to pick up something hurt and the best solution was to unbutton them.
I went to Ross first, so many people at work said to try there so I figured I would see what they had. The maternity section was about 3 feet long at the most it was pretty sad selection but I did happen to find 2 tops and 1 pair of jeans. I got it all for $29 so I was happy.
Next I went to the mall and I am sure that many of you can agree with me that walking through the mall sucks!! I made the mistake of walking on the bottom level where all of the little kiosks are of the crap that they try to make us buy. I hate the ones where the people jump out and want to grab you and say "Can I ask you a question?" I tell them no but it is so dang annoying. I know that it is their job but really why do they have to ask me again when I walked by again! The mall was dead their was more people working there than people shopping last night.
Anyways I parked at one end of the mall and went into JCPenny to look and see if they had a maternity section and luckily they had one. It wasn't that big but I found 2 pairs of pants and luckily I got 2 for $37 because they had a buy one and get one for $1 sale.
I made the trek down to the other end of the mall to go to Motherhood Maternity and was not happy with the selection at all. I tried on two pairs of pants and they were not me at all and not comfortable. The pants at JCPenny were much better, so that is why I bought them in the end.
Also the ultrasound is 6 days away or for those that read this on 11/6 Friday it is 5 days away. I am so excited and can't wait to find out. I just hope the baby works with us and shows us their parts.

The Golden Ticket
One of my friends said that I got the golden ticket today. I waited in line for 4 1/2 hours to get my H1N1 shot. I did end up getting it thank goodness.
Today was the last day of the Multnomah County Health Department H1N1 shot for children under 5 and pregnant women, till further notice. I had looked online at the county's website a couple of days previous when they did the first round of shots and thought I really need to get that to be safe. They had over 10 different planned places to get the shot so I was planning on going to another one next weekend. I miss read the website at first and thought that they canceled all including Saturday's. When I went back and looked at it again it dawned on my that today was my chance.
I got dressed and jumped in the car and drove down to the school that they were holding the free flu shot clinic at. When I got there it seemed like there was hundreds of people there and I really thought I would never get the shot. I was lucky enough that the guy handing out the tickets, to guarentee that a person holding the ticket would get a shot, was only 10 people ahead of me. I told him that I was 4 months pregnant and he gave me the ticket. I got the golden ticket!!!
The worst part was to come though. They had 240 shots that they could give up and I was near the end of the line. I waited for 4 1/2 hours in line to get my shot. I was so tired and my body was screaming at me to sit but their was no where to sit but on the ground. I blame my prego brain for forgetting I had a folding chair in the trunk of the car.
They also were handing out water and apples and of course I went to get a water and I didn't get one because a person in front of me that was NOT PREGNANT got it!!! I was so ticked, so I am standing in lie dying of thirst and wishing I could have water while people around me are drinking water. It almost made me cry because I was so upset about it. Granted the lady had her daughter with her but the little girl never drank the water and the women downed it all in a couple of minutes. I even seen people allowing their kids to dump out the water everywhere and play with it. I was just so angry I felt like it was so unfair and of course it was for me because I didn't have any. I seen a girl with a water bottle that has a clip that attaches to her purse and the bottle even had a straw so I knew at that point standing in line that is what I am buying.
In the end I got my shot, I was exhausted and drained by the end of the day but I was grateful for getting the shot and it was worth all the misery even though at the time I was very unhappy. Like my doctor tells me, if the benefits outweigh the risks than it is worth it.
