Yesterday, I was 20 weeks pregnant. I finally managed to get a few belly pics, even though by this time with Dora we probably had a memory card full of them. With no further delay:

In other news, today my sweet, sweet, princess pie is 18 months old. 18 months! Look at the last post to see her picture. Behind her impish smile, you might be able to imagine life with her. Peeking around corners to give a 1,000 watt smile, only to run off again so you will chase her. Falling down and trying to decide whether she should cry this time or not. Getting frustrated when you try to help her, because she can do it by herself. Getting FURIOUS when she can't do it by herself. Clapping when she does do it by herself, and looking around to make sure you are clapping too. We are, baby, we are.

Just beautiful. Right up my alley this morning especially, after having dreams last night about looking down and seeing my belly sagging and being covered in stretchmarks. Oddly enough, in this dream, I was still pregnant, but you had to kinda fish around in the skin to find the pregnant belly under there. Also, and maybe not so oddly, I wasn't all that concerned about it. I was scared at first that I wasn't pregnant, but after I figured out I was pregnant, it was just hard to see under all the skin and stretch marks, I was totally ok with it all.
