20 Weeks!!

I cannot believe that I am already halfway through this pregnancy!! Where in the world does the time go?? Before you know it we will be holding this sweet little one and we cannot wait!!
We had our doctors appointment today and all is well.  My weight and blood pressure is great and the baby is growing right on track! I got my lovely orange glucose drink for the next appointment so I get to look forward to that for the next visit but I also get another ultrasound next time as well because the tech was not able to get everything she needed because of the position she was in.  We were also not able to see her profile because she was staring right at us everytime! At least I get to see my little girl again next visit!

Here are my 20 week highlights!

Pregnancy Highlights!
How far along?  20 weeks 4 days

Size of Baby?  This week the baby is as long as a banana weighing about 10 1/2 ounces and is about 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel. 

Weight Gain/Loss? At the doctor today I weighed 125 which means I gained 5 pounds in about 4 1/2 weeks. I have gained a total of 10 pounds so far! The nurse said that I was right on track!

Maternity Clothes?   Yes. I am in maternity clothes for the most part.  I still wear a few things that are not maternity.

Best Moment this week?  Finding out the sex of our baby and seeing our sweet baby on the ultrasound!

Gender? IT'S A GIRL!!!

Movement?  Yes, I feel her move quite a bit during the day but she mainly moves the most at night just like her big brother did when I was pregnant with him! :)

Food Craving?  Everything sounds so good right now! This is a great thing since just a few weeks ago I did not want anything and everything I ate came right back up or made me feel horrible!  I really have been craving carrots , McDonalds sausage and egg biscuits and anything fruity.  Oh and sweet tea!! Decaf of course! :)

What I miss?  Nothing much at this time.

Sleep? Still sleeping really well.

What I am looking forward to?  Shopping for my little girl and getting her nursery together and getting Brayden big boy room put together! I am going to be super busy these next few months!

Symptoms?  Thankfully the nauseousness is so much better! I still have my moments but I will take it compared to what I felt like a few weeks ago.  I am still have severe hip, back and tail bone pain along with those lovely migraines but other than that I feel pretty good these days!

Here are my 20 week photos!







Check back for our ultrasound pictures and when we reveal the name to everyone!
