I'm excited to be entering my 20th week of pregnancy because back in the beginning I almost felt like I would never make it this far. It's amazing to me how every day in the first month and a half felt so long but since mid November time has gone so much faster.
Now I'm in the "holy crap my life is going to change forever in another 20 weeks (give or take some)" phase.

I agree, the other side of 20 weeks seems to so fast. My 20 week mark was the same week as the New Year and something about it being the year the baby due was made it so real.
I'm exactly a week apart from you, hokie. It's so crazy to cross the halfway point. I honestly am loving this part of pregnancy.
FastHands, 7 weeks felt pretty monumental to me for some reason. I hope the first tri (and beyond) continues to treat you well!
Thanks! I did get my gestational age pushed back 4 days during my appointment last week, so I'm sure that's part of why it seems to be going so slow -- an 11 day "week" haha.
That's great that you are loving your pregnancy! Hope that continues for you!
Your due date and mine are like one day apart! Cool. How have you been feeling?
I've been feeling pretty great these last 4-5 weeks. How are you these days? The worst part for me since late November has been horrible congestion - I was coughing so much in the mornings I was throwing up sometimes, but after talking with my doctor I've worked out a routine that tends to help with the congestion a little. I'm just trying to enjoy these weeks as much as possible - getting good sleep, having energy to actually do stuff, not really being achy or hurting in any way, etc - because I know at some point I'll start to feel blah with being big.
I am kinda amazed that this is happening though - can't believe how our lives will change in just another 20ish weeks!
Things have started barreling at warp speed for me now.
I think the first several weeks drags because the anxiety is SO high and you often feel so tired and miserable. Combine that with how long away the due date sounds initially and it starts out so slow. Then it just starts speeding up and never slows back down!
In October when I was feeling my worst, June felt/sounded SO FAR AWAY, and it was "next year" so yeah 9 months almost felt intolerable at that point. But now that we are in the year that the kid will come, and I've been feeling so much better the past 4-5 weeks, and we've started doing baby stuff - crib, changing table, going to daycares, talking about maternity leave, etc. - time seems to be slipping away!
I totally agree! I'm also 20 weeks and I feel like now were moving forward at warp speed but it took forever to get here. When I look on the calendar it seems like there's tons of time until June, but it's going so fast. Anatomy scan tomorrow!
