   💙💎Make sure you don't skip chapters💙💎 *This is Chapter 19*

     Today is April 2nd, I am officially 20 weeks pregnant with my baby boy. We're finally at the half way mark. I'm also starting to show a lot more, way more than before. As my son continues to grow, so does our love for him, and guess what? A few days ago, Emerson moved for the first time. It was the most unique feeling that I have ever felt before. Emerson is my little busy body, he likes to keep me up at night too. "Babe did Star send you the grocery list?" I hear Garfield call from upstairs. "Yeah I got it" I say as I slip my phone into my pocket.

     Starfire is busy taking care of Dick and Mar'i so we offered to do some grocery shopping for them after the appointment. Garfield has also been stressing out about everything. Well— everything including the baby. He's been frantically searching the internet for cribs, rails, pacifiers, baby monitors and etc. Garfield is so excited about becoming a father, and quite frankly I'm excited for him too. He's already talking about how him and Emerson are going to be best friends. "Alright I think I got everything" Garfield  says, interrupting my thoughts.

     I look down at my belly as I feel my son move. "Give me your hand" I say as I reach for his hand, placing it on my belly. "You've been moving a lot lately. Haven't you bear cub?" Garfield says as he talks to our baby. 'Bear cub' is Garfield's official nickname for our son. He decided that 2 weeks ago. Funny, but cute. Right?

"Did you get your makeup?" I ask. "Oh my God, my makeup" he turns around but then stops in his tracks. "My makeup?" He snaps around just to see me burst into laughter. "Ha Ha Raven" he says as he laughs and rolls his eyes. "What are you so anxious for?" I say as I continue to laugh. He holds the door open for me and watches me get into the car. "I guess because you're just further along in your pregnancy and I'm excited" he says while laughing.

     I squirm in my seat as I try to get comfortable. "What's wrong?" He asks. "I'm going to need to get some new clothes, these are getting way too tight" I say as I huff and unbutton my jeans, causing him to giggle. I smack his arm as he gives me a toothy grin and drives us to the clinic. I quickly button my jeans back up as we pull into the parking lot. We get out of the car and walk into the clinic, doing our usual routine for signing in.

**15 Minutes Later**

"Raven Logan" the nurse calls. We walk back down the hall as she escorts us to the room and I sit down on the bed. Not too long after, Dr. Cohen enters the room. "There's my favorite patient, how've you been doing Mrs. Logan?" Dr. Cohen says cheerfully. "I'm great how are you?" I say as I smile. "Just fine just fine. 5 months pregnant already? Wow, time flys" He says as he laughs and looks down at his chart.

   "So today, I'm going to measure your fundal height, which is your belly to make sure it's up to size with the baby" he says while he pops his white rubber gloves on. I lift my shirt as he grabs his measuring tool and places the cold metal on my belly, causing Emerson to kick. "Hahaha, sorry little man is that cold?" Dr. Cohen says causing my husband and I to laugh. "You have a goofy personality just like your dad" Dr. Cohen says which makes Garfield grin.

    "Alright everything looks good. Ready to see him?" He asks, Garfield and I both eagerly nod our heads. He places the wand on my belly with the cold jelly and we watch Emerson appear on the screen as his beautiful little heartbeat fills my ears. "At 20 weeks old, he is about the size of a banana. Emerson is 6.4 inches long and he weighs 10 ounces on the dot" Dr. Cohen says with a smile. "As always, you can pick up the ultrasounds photos from the office. So now, I'm going to explain some of the topics we're going to discuss" he says while looking at us.
