Week 20

20 weeks

November 22, 2011

***HALF WAY THERE****
(if I make it all the way to 40)

Size of baby: a cantaloupe

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I didn't weigh myself this week. I think I am doing good though. I eat a lot more than I have been. 

Maternity Clothes: just pants. Normal sweat pants & PJ's still fit but regular pants are out of the question. I know I'm not that big yet but for me I'm huge! Shirts I still am wearing my regular shirts. Also, the fact that it is getting cold hasn't made me feel pregnant in public because I'll have so many layers on and then add a jacket or sweatshirt by the time you add all that you just look warm and large. Whatever-I'm freezing all the time.I know there is a baby in there even if everyone else doesn't. However, people are starting to notice my bump. Thankfully he is a basketball and not fat everywhere. 

 
Gender: Precious Baby Boy. He has a name too but Justin wants to keep it a secret. We will see how long I last. I absolutely LOVE his name. It just fits. 

Movement: all the time!!! The more active I am the less I feel him but when I sit down at night, when I get in the bed or right after I eat breakfast it is like a kicking fest in my tummy! I love it. Oooo right as I wrote that he kicked. : ) Happy momma- I just adore feeling him move. Last Saturday we were all sitting on the couch and he was moving so I told Justin come here!! So he stuck his hand on my stomach and I said did you feel it? and he said No? And right after he said he Justins face lit up almost in shock because he kicked SO HARD. We said it was like he heard that Daddy couldn't feel him so he kicked hard just for him. ; ) 

Sleep: well considering it is cold outside the warm bed is my favorite! I have been sleeping good lately. Not even getting up to pee that much. And my snoogle is still my favorite. I would totally recommend it!


What I miss: being able to sit cross legged comfortably and my back not hurting so bad

Cravings: I really haven't had any cravings. : ( I had kinda been looking forward to craving something. 

Symptoms: backache (bad- I broke my back when I was 18 so it is just making regular pregnancy backaches worse), getting some nice little pimples on my face, sleepy, is feeling fat a symptom? : ) 


here is week 20: 

and I took one with the blocks : )
