Half way through and an update on Buckaroo!

I'm so sorry for my lack of response to comments.   This school year has started out really busily.  I come home super exhausted, and really it is all I can do to stay up until it's dark outside.

That being said things have been going well.  The baby and I are fine.  I have officially reached the halfway point in this pregnancy, which is such a blessing.  I am starting to feel the baby's movements and flutters.  It's amazing.  I can't explain how awesome that is.  It makes everything feel so real.

The doctor has been really pleased with the my blood sugars, and my weight is starting to catch up with the normal pregnancy weight.  I lost a bit in the first trimester, but now things are balancing out.  Bucko painted the nursery and we are starting to get things together for Buckaroo's arrival.

Now for the best part.  We had our mid-pregnancy ultrasound recently.  Buckaroo was being awfully stubborn, and didn't want to give us a good view, but we did finally get to see that our little Buckaroo is a girl!  Bucko and I are both thrilled.  We would have been thrilled either way, but I had a strong feeling pink bows were in our future.  Bucko is over the moon.  I see a daddy's girl on the horizon.
