Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy.  I had a great week and since I was traveling all week for work I am going to say it is very positive..
Looking forward to: Our 20 week diagnostic ultrasound.  I say diagnostic, because most people call it the gender ultrasound.  Since, we are not finding out what we are having it is more of a see the baby’s heart and bones.

I have to thank my friend, Rachel, for going maternity clothes shopping.  Without her there I probably would have walked in and out of the store with no new clothes.  I instead had fun and got a lot of new clothes.  I am VERY excited to start wearing them.  I am ready for the weather to cool off so I can wear leggings, boots, and comfortable shirts.  If you are pregnant, I highly recommend taking a friend who was recently in maternity clothes.  They have the best advice.
