Halfway...

20 week stats: 
*Good intentions:  I really did START this post at the halfway point, Saturday, Dec. 17th.*  
The halfway point: 20 weeks down.  20 weeks to go.  140 days down.  140 days to go. 
Pregnancy Woes:   Luckily, there aren't too many currently.  I am feeling pretty good.  I am not really nauseous or extremely tired anymore.   I will NEVER say that I am super energetic at any point during pregnancy, like some women experience especially during trimester 2. A little heartburn here and there, nothing that a couple Tums won't fix.  I am experiencing weird back pain that I didn't get with Isaac.  At least once a day, I will stand up from a sitting position and I have this huge pain in my lower left back that I can only feel when I walk (putting pressure with each step.)  It lasts all of 1 minute of excruciating  hobbling, before it just disappears.  Weird, painful, but thankful that it lasts so briefly.
Names:  We've had lots of questions about this and honestly, we haven't put much thought into it at all yet.  We have a big break over Christmas and I think we'll start thinking about it more heavily then.
Big Bro:  Isaac continues to be excited to meet "Baby McGee."  He asks me a lot about what Baby McGee is doing in there, and continues to tell me what he thinks he's doing.  Most recently, Isaac is obsessed with Baby McGee doing a lot of swimming in there, WITH a life jacket on (logically.)
And a photo documentation of the halfway point:

Also, an update on the parents:  My dad took a week off following the fire.  He spent a week in the smoky, ashy, house catologing every. single. item.   It took the assessor and him five days, full time, to catalog everything my parents had accumulated over their lifetimes.  A few days later the insurance company got back to him and told them that they were indeed, going to count the home's contents as a total loss (meaning some poor sucker is going to have to itemize the value of every single thing that was in that house.  The final list had over 1,400 items, and many of those were grouped, eg. 100 tupperware, 20 dress shirts, etc.)   So, they have spent the last several days going in an trying to salvage any sentimental items, or things they want to try to clean up on their own.  ack.
