20 weeks!

Holy moly, all of a sudden time's starting to fly. It's crazy to think we're half way there! I am finally over that nasty cold and have been praying to the pregnancy gods that I do not get sick again this pregnancy. I'm half tempted to wear a mask every time I leave the house.

How far along are you? 20 weeks, 2 days

Total weight gain: Haven't weighed myself lately, but I'm thinking about 10 lbs total

How big is baby?: 10 inches! About the size of a (very large) banana

Maternity clothes: Yup, almost everything, but can still wear some of my regular tops with a longer cami underneath.

Stretch marks?: Nope.

Sleep?: I sleep pretty well, but I always wake up on my back and it HURTS. The Snoogle is comfy, but does nothing to keep me from rolling onto my back. I'm not sure what else I can do and I'm pretty certain it's just gonna become more uncomfortable:(

Best moment this week?: Picking out the nursery furniture with my mom over the weekend and then coming home to adorable baby bedding today!

Movement?: I'm pretty sure I'm feeling him now, but it's so light and inconsistent. He seems to become a little more active after I eat something sugary:)

Food cravings?: Still Subway sandwiches (chicken and veggies or just veggie). Also still lovin' anything spicy.

Food aversions?: There's not really anything I won't eat these days, haha!

Labor signs?: Nope.

Belly button in or out?: Still innie.

What I miss: Wine

What I'm looking forward to: Anatomy scan on Wednesday. I'm nervous, but excited to see the baby again!

20 week bump and even a bare belly shot!

Sick of being sick

I've really tried to keep my complaining during this pregnancy to a minimum. Actually, I haven't really had anything to complain about...the pregnancy itself has been easy-peasy. I'm just sick of getting sick! Since early November, I have had 3 nasty colds and a horrible stomach virus. It's crazy how much pregnancy has weakened my immune system. I used to get sick maybe once a year. I know there have been some nasty bugs going around this winter, but I just want to get well and enjoy my pregnancy! Please?!


How far along are you? 18 weeks! Whoa.

Total weight gain: I was up about 4 lbs at my appointment this week.

How big is baby?: About the size of a bell pepper.

Maternity clothes: Oh yes!

Stretch marks?: None yet.

Sleep?: I'm actually sleeping well. The baby must have moved away from my bladder because I'm not peeing nearly as much anymore. The last two nights I haven't had to get up at all in the middle of the night!

Best moment this week?: Seeing my baby boy again, of course:)

Movement?: It's so hard to tell. I'm having little bubble feelings in the same spot in my lower abdomen, so maybe they are little tap taps? I just can't be sure.

Food cravings?: I've been craving Subway sandwiches the past few days.

Food aversions?: Not much.

Labor signs?: No way.

Belly button in or out?: Still innie.

What I miss: Right now, being able to take cold meds.

What I'm looking forward to: Feeling better!

Here's our little guy this week. Look at those chubby cheeks!
