20 weeks!!

holy hannah. 
we're halfway there. 

very exciting and yet i can't shake the fear of giving birth. i just don't understand how the baby comes out. i don't think i want to understand. (even though cardon and I's nightly ritual is watching birth videos and screaming/giggling in nervousness). 

but other than that looming over my head... i can't wait till Ryder is here!! 

We celebrated Ryder's half birthday by buying a green and gray city mini jogger for him! we'll be cruisin' in style this fall :) and of course we wrapped up the birthday festivities by eating some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. our favorite. 

i love knowing that Ryder can hear the outside world! i love calling Cardon during the day and putting the phone close to my stomach on speaker so Ryder can hear. Cardon always says "Hi baby Ryder! I love you!" so sweet. Cardon will be an awesome dad. 

Baby Updates:


  • Ryder is now 10 inches long and weighs 10 1/2 ounces (about the length of a banana)
  • He gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, for nutrition, digestion and to practice swallowing/breathing. 
  • his taste buds work!
  • he can cover his ears if noises are too loud and can even jump if a noise startles him :)
he's so talented :)
