20 weeks

This week has been great, even though I'm finally starting to stress about my to-do list. What sticks out the most is how much more attached to her I've become. I touch my belly and smile. Or dance to a song I think she'll like. I'll baby talk to her and say "Why you do that to me, huh?" when I get some indigestion. It's pretty cute to finally start to feel "that bond." My little best friend is just hanging out in there! 

The highlight of our week was definitely the 20 week ultrasound. We went to the OGA at Texas Women's Hospital, and the tech took a gazillion pictures and measurements of her before they let Matt in the room. but more about that tomorrow!

How far along?  20 weeks, halfway baby!

Baby size: 
A banana

Weight gain:
9 lbs. exactly. Confirmed by the dr. yesterday.

Maternity clothes: 
bottoms yes, tops and dresses not so much.

Stretch marks: No. I keep checking myself for pink lines tho! I’m scurred.

Sleep: 
Yes, with random spurts of waking up to eat and then having trouble dozing off again.

Gender: 
Little Miss C!

Movement:
Yes, when I’m laying down I get the flutters. Mostly at night when I’m about to fall asleep, and in the morning when im still trying to sleep.
J lol

Best moment this week:
Our 20 week appointment and ultrasound. I’ll be tomorrow with pictures and deets, but everything is good! One of the best days of pregnancy so far!

Looking forward to: checking some things off my to do list. Well, just getting started on said to do list really.

Food cravings: 
mashed potatoes and corn, banh mi sandwhiches. Eating honey nut cheerios medley crunch multiple times a day.

Weirdest food I ate this week: 
nothing too strange really.

Anything making you queasy or sick: 
empty belly

Labor signs: 
no way.

What I miss: 
my go go go attitude

Symptoms: 
a dash of so many things! back pain, tailbone pain, queasy moments, pregnancy insomnia, acid reflux? Something weird and related to indigestion. But really, just a dash. I’m so used it and none of it is bothering me.

Workouts:
haven’t had one in a hot minute! Must fix this asap.  

Things that suck:
nothing.

Things that don't suck: 
flutters and feeling super attached to her
