20 Weeks Pregnancy Update

March 28, 2018

How far along:

20 weeks – halfway! I can’t believe it!

Baby is the size of a:

Banana or a paper airplane

Total weight gain:

Apparently I gained 3lbs this week…ouch! Up 20lbs total.

Maternity Clothes?

Both.

Stretch Marks?

Not yet.

Sleep?

Pretty good. Getting up once to use the bathroom.

Best moment of the Week:

Getting my anatomy scan results back. Baby looks perfect and the only thing the doctor mentioned is that my placenta is very low right now. He said in most cases it moves up later on, so not to worry about it right now.

Movement:

Every day, but especially at night, when I lay down. I can now also feel him from the outside and see his kicks if I watch my belly closely. Can’t wait for Katie to come home to feel him as well.

Food Cravings:

None.

Belly Button in or out:

In.

Gender:

Sweet baby boy!

Symptoms:

Pregnancy Acne and getting out of breath easily. But I really can’t complain, I’m so glad to be feeling normal right now.

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?

Nothing.

Have you Started to Show yet?

Getting there. One of my friends from Fox’s school keeps commenting how tiny I am, every time she sees me, but I feel pretty big already and wouldn’t have it any other way.

What I miss:

Still Katie! She is coming back tonight though, so I’m super excited. This week was hard. Fox and I barely left the house with him still being sick and we both got cabin fever.

Pregnancy wise, I don’t miss anything right now. Maybe sleeping on my back and stomach.

What I'm looking forward to:

We are planning to start the remodel of the nursery once Katie gets back, so I’m anxious to start and being able to prepare the nursery.

What I'm not looking forward to:

Nothing right now!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do. Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

We took some family pictures this fall!

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house. He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
