20 Weeks Pregnant!

20 Weeks

I know it has been awhile since I posted, but alot has happened since my last post! My husband and I are expecting our first baby on September 21st! We are so excited, and I have had a wonderful pregnancy so far. We just had our 20 week ultrasound and it was so much fun to see our little one. We are finding out the gender on Saturday at our gender reveal party! The ultrasound technician sealed the answer in an envelope and we took it to a cake bakery to make a pink or a blue cake! When we cut the cake on Saturday we will find out!

How Far Along: 20 Weeks

Size of baby: Our little one is around 10.5 ounces and about 10 inches long from head to toe! So much bigger than when we last saw the baby at 11 weeks!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: So far I have gained 4 pounds, which isn't much, but my tummy is definitely showing! It just isn't showing up on the scale yet. I have no doubt it will catch up with me pretty quickly!

Maternity Clothes: I am wearing maternity pants, but not maternity shirts. The shirts are still too big, so I have just been wearing loose fitting/flowy tops. But I sure do love maternity pants!!

Gender: We find out on Saturday!! It is torture to have to wait 4 more days!!

 Movement: I mostly feel movement in the morning and at night. I don't feel it as much during the day because I am busy teaching 4th graders! I love the movement now because it is nice and gentle!

What I miss: I used to enjoy drinking a glass of white wine some nights, so I do miss that with pregnancy. I also miss sleeping through the night without waking up once! I used to be such a heavy sleeper, but now I wake up a few times a night and just toss and turn!

Cravings: At the beginning I at tons of pickles, but I haven't been eating those as much lately. I eat alot of fruit and I love anything sour, like salt and vinegar chips, sour patch kids, etc.

Symptoms: I have been so lucky to not have any sickness the whole pregnancy! I do have some back pain in my lower back, but it is usually just when I bend or move a certain way,

Best Moment this week: Definitely the ultrasound! It was so much fun, and my husband, my mom and his mom were able to come. I loved being able to share the experience with them. I couldn't believe how clear all of the images were. They zoomed in on the baby's heart and it looked so clear, but they said it is only about the size of a fingernail right now!! Crazy!

What I'm looking forward to: Finding out whether we are having a little boy or a little girl on Saturday!!!

Baby Bump!
