Monday Morning Pop Tart

I apologize for being so behind. I turned 20 weeks on Friday, July 13. 


Week 20: HALFWAY THERE!!!!!!!! =) Hey you! You have really been moving, kicking, and punching up a storm lately!! Although - you didn’t show off much during the sonogram this week. =| I was hoping your dad would get to see you dancing this time but you played bashful. =) You looked great though and the tech said you might come earlier than we expected. Turkey Day baby? We’ll see what Dr. A says later this month. Whew! I know you’ll be here before we know it! I think your big brother Peety might be noticing something’s up. He’s been extra lovey and pouty this week. Love pug. I know he’ll be super good to you. In other good news, I feel like I can handle my eating better. I don’t feel the need to eat every second right now and healthier things are sounding good again! =)


Again with the hawkwardness. These shouldn't be that hard. haha!

Highlights

How Far Along: 20 weeks

Size of baby: Butternut Squash

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Approx. 12 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Yep! A true dream come true for me. =) 

Gender: We're going to be surprised! (I almost blew this at the sonogram by forgetting to tell the tech... but Val reminded me. Whew!)

Movement: Yep! =) Weird and pretty cool at the same time. Had some pretty intense kicks or punches this week... I'm ready for Dac to be able to feel it.

Sleep: Some nights are pretty good... others not. I'm ok with it... good practice I guess and I've always been a pretty light sleeper anyway. I am having a few wild dreams every now and then. Intense.

Symptoms: I definitely don't feel like I'm eating quite as much and while I still pee all the time, the nightly trips have slowed down for a while. The nausea has continued to stay away except for a few bad headaches, etc... that cause it.  I'm still having heartburn and back/hip pain. I'm also having a harder time turning my brain off.

What I miss: Not much of anything right now.

Cravings: This week has been donuts again. Fail.

Best Moment this week: Seeing the baby on the sonogram. He/she didn't quite cooperate like I'd hoped but it was still cool and things looked good (far as I could tell). Also, friend time!

What I am looking forward to: A trip to see my old college roomies. Love them and am super excited.
