How far along are you? 20 weeks!!! HALFWAY THERE!!
How I’m feeling:Β I want to say I can’t complain but my belly has been a mess! Every night and morning it gives me problems. Sleep is still inconsistent – even with my new pillow, whom I will be naming soon, since it is the size of a human.
Total weight gain:Β I will step on a scale on Monday… last I checked we were at 7lbs.Β
Cool baby facts:Β Baby has taste buds! I have to watch what I eat now, because apparently now is when she can start picking her favorite foods.
How big is baby?Β Some say a Melon, others say a Banana. I am guessing she is starting to get long and round? Either way, she is growing!
Sleep:Β Some nights I wake up once to go to the bathroom, other nights I toss and turn and end up throwing my pillow around while I try to get comfortable.Β
Maternity Clothes:Β Still haven’t bought anything new.
Best moment of pregnancy this week
Feeling her move from the outside!Β
Movement:Β I can definitely tell when Baby girl is moving now – sometimes it feels like a hiccup in my belly, other times its like someone is kicking me from the inside! Poor B hasn’t felt her yet because she always starts dancing around after he leaves for work.Β
Food cravings:Β Easy Mac – which I had and then regretted. A cheeseburger – which I have yet to eat! Cheese pizza – which I am hoping to get tonight.
Food aversions:Β Nothing.Β
Randoms:Β My best friend, Momo, sent Baby Girl theΒ sweetest gift ever.Β Wrapped in Christmas paper (my favorite) was her favorite book from childhood and a blankie. This will be Baby’s first blanket, and I know she will drag it around, along with her stuffed Moose, just like her Momma and Auntie Momo have done since they were little girls.Β Β
Belly button in or out:Β Still weird looking, but definitely an innie.Β
What I miss:Β Having a glass of wine with dinner.Β
What I’m looking forward to:Β Our 20 week anatomy scan and appointment on Monday!
Congratulations! It goes by faster than you’d think. Isn’t it weird how all the baby books compare their growing to fruit sizes? Best wishes on 20 more safe weeks, a healthy delivery, and swift transition to baby’s size in relation to vegetables! I want to say third trimester is more like… Butternut squash, maybe?

That is the sweetest gift! Hooray for the anatomy scan. I can’t believe you are already 20 weeks!

So cute! π I love that your best friend gave you such a sweet gift!!!

Congrats! I am a teacher too, and for my shower, my friends each brought a book for my son for his future reading “library”. It is so fun to even pull out now (and he is 5) and read what people wrote to him.
On another note, I only gained 11 pounds through my entire pregnancy. I am not sure if people have told you to “eat more”, but your baby will be fine. I am also small boned, and my son is super-healthy! You look really cute!!
I love reading about your weekly updates! I have babies on the brain right now and desperately want a child but cannot just yet (medical reasons GRRR) so I love reading all about your pregnancy! I loved your gender reveal cake, super duper cute!
Good luck with your scan.

Just found your blog (through Northern Belle Diaries) and am really enjoying it – congratulations, although I think you have the tiniest bump ever! π I’m from Upstate NY and am so jealous you’ve made it to the South aka, land of nice winters!
