Half way there!

Hello all!
Today Bean is half way baked :o) I am 20 weeks exactly today, and dying to find out what Bean is!
I had to reschedule our ultrasound for June 1 because of school. Stupid school. Actually, I have really enjoyed school thus far. I've learned a lot, and am amazed at how exhausting it is to be in class from 8-5 everyday. That will only last through this Thursday, and then one of my classes will be over! Yay! Its been super busy. On a seperate note, I finished up my bachelors degree with 2 B's and 2 A's...not so bad! Graduation was super fun, Geoff's grandparents, dad, Dawn, and Laura came up, as did my parents. It was nice to have everyone here and enjoy dinner and then graduation. Geoff's grandma gave us a big bag of baby goodies, including a blanket that was made for his dad by his great-grandmother (I think it was great, I need to check on that) anyway, it is so cool to have something like that. Its blue on one side, and pink on the other and beautifully quilted. I am afraid to really use it, but want Bean to have access to it and understand how important things like that are. I think that was my favorite graduation present of all, because it is something that means so much.
I am starting to feel more movement now, nothing really concrete, but if I pay enough attention then I get some flutters and bumps. I wish I could feel more movement, but am content that Bean is ok for now. We had to go into the doctor 2 weeks ago or so, because I was having massive cramps and pain beneath my rib cage. I guess I pulled or tore my stomach muscles from vomiting. Gross. That and stress, but if I keep taking my prilosec or whatever, it seems better. It starts hurting again if I get stressed out though.
I am going to try to upload a belly pic on here if I can. Well I will update more on June 1, so we all know what the gender is :o)

flutters

I felt Bean move!! At least I am pretty sure I did. I felt light flutters across my lower abdomen. It sorta felt like when you barely run your fingertips across your belly, except from the inside. I *think* I have felt him/her move twice now. I wish I could feel more distinct movements, it would be reassuring to know s/he's moving around in there. We also bought a car. I am really surprised how easy it was and what we found. We got a 2006 Kia Optima, 33k miles. We spent less on it than we thought, and that was a huge blessing because then we had money left over to pay off medical bills. That was a huge concern for me, and one of the biggest points of contention about this purchase. It was a big relief to get this aspect of baby preparation taken care of. We're wrapping up the last week of school this week, and I have 2 stats projects left, a paper for British Empire, and wrapping up my capstone-then two finals. Its a little overwhelming, but the reward will be great.
On a separate note, I have been having a massive amount of back pain lately. I have  prescription for percocet but am reluctant to take it. My midwife said its OK, because the benefits outweigh the risks, but it makes me uncomfortable to be on high-power pain pills with Bean exposed to them. I am hoping for relief by resting and ice/heat. I am also under the care of a chiropractor, which was helping a lot more when I could lay on my stomach. :( at this point he doesn't feel comfortable having me lay on my stomach. Once school is out, I should have more time to rest and hopefully get some relief.
On a side note...i have a online poll up to guess Beans gender, weight, birthday, etc. go there now and guess!
