20 weeks!

20 weeks!
i am so excited that I am half way done! so i stole this from lisa's blog!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 1 whole lbs. well technically i lost about 8 and gained back 9.

How Big is the Baby: a cantaloupe! she is so big! i remember when she was a raspberry and i was so excited that she was that big, now she is a whole cantaloupe!

Gender: baby girrrrrl!

Maternity Clothes: I have purchased them, because i'm sure they are more comfortable than my super tight pants, but they are still too big. so I am down to one pair of pants that i rubberband.

Best Moment of the Week: feeling her move for the first time! it was so amazing and now i feel her all the time!

Stretch Marks: none yet, but i have decided it is better to just accept the inevitable. i will just look like a tiger. roar.

Movement: yes! i was worried because i didnt feel her until after 20 weeks, but now i feel her all the time! especially in the mornings and early afternoons, hopefully this schedule will continue until she is born so she will sleep at night!

Sleep: it is getting harder to get comfortable with this growing belly, but the body pillow helps A TON!

What I miss: sushi, over-easy eggs, and being able to wear whatever i want! my wardrobe is dwindling.

What I am looking forward to: meeting this beautiful baby girl, deciding on a name, and decorating her nursery!

Symptoms: mm still nauseous and throwing up, my belly is growing, and i am still an emotional roller coaster!

Food Cravings: anything and everything! except steak, blegh.

Belly Button: Still an inny! but barely!

Signs of Labor: nope, and hopefully i wont have any until its time.

i am loving this little girl more and more!!

**20 weeks!!**

18.5 weeks

well little ms. baby cray is now about the size of this weird looking thing and i must admit that time is going by quick! I remember when I was only 8 weeks and thinking how sloooow its going, but now the weeks are flying by! We had another ultrasound and got to get another look at our baby girl. we got to see her spine and brain and hands and feet and her face! the ultrasound tech said she was smiling at us haha! she wasnt moving around too much, just like the last ultrasound but maybe we are just catching her during her rest time. I have been putting off writing this blog, hoping that I could write about how I felt her move for the first time, but she just isnt ready yet. every night before i go to sleep i first lay on my back, really still for about 10 min and after that i try my side for about 10 minutes, hoping to get a little feeling or something, but i guess she will give me a kick when she is ready. besides that, nothing much has happened. I am slowly getting my energy back, but i still have days where i just crash for hours at a time. My nausea is definitely getting better, but i still am throwing up a few days a week. hopefully that will go away soon! I am starting to get a baby bump finally! and my belly button is already starting to poke out! I cant wait until I have that kind of big belly where you know right when you look at me that im pregnant, but at the same time im grateful i dont, my lower back is already struggling with this weird belly. well that is about all, its still surreal that theres a tiny person inside me and in about 5 months she will be apart of my life forever! I just cant wait until i can start feeling her move, then maybe it will seem more real!
