20 Weeks...1/2 way there!

 I made it to 20 weeks!!! I am excited that everything is going so well with this pregnancy. Baby Rose is less active than Zac, but I am also running around after Zac most of the day. She seems to get moving the most during quiet time and when my bladder is full. In which case she likes to use it as a punching bag. Today, while sitting at church she kept kicking till I finally rushed out! Zac frequently yells, laughs and tries to squish my belly she is learning to be still when he comes around.
I haven't had much of an appetite with Baby Rose. I do crave pickles, pineapple and the occasional splurge for gummy worms. It makes planning meals and even eating difficult when nothing sounds or really taste great.
I am very sensitive to smells too. I think everything smells very strong! On a walk with some friends we passed the middle school kids walking to school going the opposite direction on the opposite side of the street. I about gagged smelling the cologne someone had practically bathed in. I asked the other ladies if they smelled it they all looked at me and said "What, no, you can smell a kid across the street?" Last night Doug was making dinner and I was across the room. He was cutting onions the smell was so strong to me that I had to go outside to breath with out tearing up from the onion smell. Bleach is my new favorite smell, it is clean, strong and gets rid of all other smells.
 This week I was super excited to find the crib bedding and coordinating fabric for the curtains in her room. As of right now I won't be painting (or Doug won't, which he is hoping stays the case). Between me and pinterest I have ideas for her room spilling over. I can't wait to get it cleaned out from being a dysfunctional office into an adorable baby haven. During Thanksgiving and Christmas time off we are hoping to get the room more prepared for our little Rose. I will definitely post pictures as I work on the room and show the final product of my creativity!
Zac does have sweet moments when hugs my belly and kisses it. He loves to tell people he has a baby in his belly and Mommy has a sister in hers. I know this little girl will be just as cute and as much fun as my boy!
