Anything making you queasy or sick: Not anymore .. thankfully.
Gender: It’s a BOY!!!

Looking forward to: The kicks and punches getting stronger. Madison keeps asking to feel the baby kick but timing never works!
This pregnancy is totally different from the last 2. With both the girls I was very anxious and wanted to get everything done as soon as possible, I wanted to make sure we had the carseat (not in the car but ready to go if needed), I was calling pediatrician at 20 weeks to pick one, I was worried about having diapers and onesies etc.. This time it is the opposite. I am totally chill and not concerned about any of that. Probably because it is the 3rd time around and I know I have time and I don’t NEED everything the second the baby is born. The only thing we have done so far to prep for baby Murray is move Beth out of the nursery and put the crib rail back on the bed.
 Is there anything you would recommend getting this time around? So much has changed in the baby game in the past 2.5 years .. what are your go-to baby items?

20 weeks down .. 20 to go!
