Pregnancy Highlights
 |
| 20 Weeks! |
- How Far Along: 20 weeks
- Total Weight Gain: 8 lbs.
- Size of baby: 12 ounces, and about 10.5 inches long - about the length of a carrot!
- Sleep: I sleep great until my bladder wakes me up, generally around 4-5 a.m. (and always 30 minutes to an hour before my alarm goes off...so of course I'm falling back asleep right when it's time to get up! Argh!)
- Best Moment This Week: Sharing the news of our baby's gender with friends, family, and my students. We're having a sweet, baby girl! (I will post again on the details of our "gender reveal")

- Gender: GIRL!
- Movement: As you probably read from my last entry - she's moving like crazy! In fact, she's moving right now. It's the best parts of my day when I feel her kick. I feel it the most when I'm not moving so much like when I get home from work or lay down to go to sleep.
- Food Craving: mac and cheese has been my latest favorite food
- What I Miss: having a glass of wine....oh well :)
- What I'm looking forward to: Baby showers! I'm so excited to start celebrating our baby girl's arrival with friends and family...and to start getting pink, girly baby items!
- Weekly Wisdom: eat small meals - it's really uncomfortable when you eat a lot! Baby and a full belly do not work out well!
- Symptoms: Minimal nausea (thank goodness), some cramping from those so-called "round ligaments" that are growing, feeling like I'm going to explode when I eat too much (sometimes I forget to stop! eek!!), and extreme forgetfulness (mostly when it comes to words and names...it's pretty hilarious the things I can't remember!)
We didn't get a great profile shot of our baby girl due to her strange positioning at our Week 20 appointment. I'll post one when I go back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound for them to get a better look at her face and heart.
Stay tuned for details on the Gender Reveal Party! It was a huge success and so much fun.
xoxo,
