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!

We took some family pictures this fall!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha. Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

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 ...
