I am really starting to enjoy my pregnancy so much that I haven't had time to blog, haha. But seriously, I am loving being pregnant and have never felt so comfortable in my own skin :)
Let's start with the weekly bump shots we missed:
Belly is getting big and fast! Hopefully, starting on week 21, I will put my awesome chalk board to use and start doing my bump shots with that!
How far along? 20 weeks 3 days
Total weight gain/loss: like 8 pounds (I cannot stay off the scale!)
Maternity clothes? I've worn a maternity tank here and there just because it flatters my belly more, but my jeans and clothes still fit!! Except the bras.. I outgrew those a loonnnnggg time ago
Stretch marks? not yet and hopefully never! Keeping my belly oiled up!
Sleep: Sleeping much better than I use to that's for sure. I wake up once or twice a night, but I'm not complaining.
Movement: YES!! Makes me so excited! Little kicks and jabs. Nothing that hurts me but strong enough for my hubby to feel :)
Food cravings: Besides fruit, nothing other than what i usually eat, which I am very happy about.
Gender: No more waiting until birth!! We are finding out next Friday for Derrick's birthday!
Labor Signs: I think I still have a ways to go...
Belly Button in or out? Still in, but almost completely flat! It will be an outtie in no time.
Wedding rings on or off? On
What I miss: Beer... what I would give to have a Blue Moon!
What I am looking forward to: Finding out the sex, shopping and working on the nursery more.
Weekly Wisdom: I might have to hold off on wearing the cute little shoes until after pregnancy is over. I don't know if blisters are worth a few hours of looking cute...... who am I kidding?!? I'm a girl, that's what we do :)
Milestones: Past the halfway point! and no longer feel like I'm in the fat, puffy stage.
Derrick is convinced that bright white line in our twenty week ultrasound (picture above) is a penis. I'm pretty sure it's not... I guess we will see!
One thing we have been working on a little bit is the nursery. I am starting to nest and it is so frustrating when you drive over an hour to get to Ikea to get the one crib you REALLY want and it is discontinued :( We were told they are suppose to bring it back in a few months, but who wants to wait that long?!
This is phase 1 of the nursery. I have it so planned out in my head what it will look like exactly. But I know it won't turn out like that... hopefully close. Even though we are finding out the sex of the baby, we are still shooting for a neutral-look room. I'm not into super gender-ized rooms or even themed rooms for that matter. I want a serene, calm nursery with a lot of artistic things in it (lots of ETSY). This is one place I CANNOT wait to spend a lot of time in :)
