week 20 - half way there and feeling great!

so they say that the second trimester is definitely the best, and i have to agree. i've now had my energy back for about 4-5 weeks, and i'm feeling great. here's what half way looks like:

baby besmehn's stats - 10.5 ounces (or so), 6.5 inches long and this adds up to about the size of a banana. hard to imagine how much life is about to change, but we're really getting excited. and although i am a BIG TIME planner, i feel a sense of ease and peace about this whole new, amazing experience even though i really have no idea what to expect - because reading books and articles doesn't really do it justice. and the comfort and peace... that has to be a God thing :).

hope everyone is experiencing a blessed holiday season, and i look forward to sharing everything that is in store for this week.

p.s. i've had a couple of requests for frontal pics to help with the b/g vote. i'll try to get those up this evening or tomorrow AM.
