BABY! Isn't he or she so cute :)
Sorry for the teaser...but not really. We are waiting until this little peanut is out of my belly to find out if it's a boy or girl. So you get to wait too! Woohoo! Oooooooooooooooh we're halfway the-ere! I've been told that this photo is a teaser and that I am not actually that big...but I beg to differ.
Yay! So exciting. My belly decided to just pop out of nowhere over the past three weeks. And Baby has decided that he or she will never sit still. There is constant movement in there! Monday night, I felt baby kicking and looked down, and I could actually see little thuds on my belly. Crazy! I feel like there's a little alien inside of me.
I have still had a difficult time eating. Not in the same way as my first trimester, but nothing really sounds that appetizing to me. For example, I don't really have any desire to eat any meat or veggies. Yikes! Hence my new breakfast you'll read about later.
We had our 20 week ultrasound on Friday, and it was incredible. We loved getting to stare at our little love bug for 45 minutes. Half the time I had no clue what we were looking at, since our ultrasound tech was showing us all of the goods that make up a human. Obviously I did not pay that much attention in anatomy, because I couldn't recognize half of the terms she was using. Fun fact, baby was sleeping most of the time and sleeps a lot like I do...well when I fall asleep. Once asleep I am all over the place. I am carrying posterior- which my doctor told me you feel a lot more movement in there. Baby's heart rate is 128bpm, but he or she was sleeping at the time. And we are in the 69th percentile- which is good and healthy. Everything else is normal in our sweet little baby!

How far along? 20 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss? 10lbs. 138 whopping pounds. I have officially reached my freshman year of college weight.
Maternity clothes? Yes! I wear leggings and either big tops or maternity tops. I got lots of pretty tops for Christmas. I finally found a pair of maternity jeans that I like and are comfortable- yay!
Stretch marks? No. But I feel like my belly is at capacity, so I am lathering on the lotion. And my sister-in-law got me some Belly Butter, so I am super excited to start using that.
Sleep? It's difficult to fall asleep, but once I'm out, I'm out.
Best moment this week? David and I started drinking protein smoothies, and I have felt super full and really good. I didn't feel like I was getting enough protein, so we incorporated this into our diet. And we're putting spinach in it...yuck. But I fortunately don't taste it.
Miss anything? Spaghetti. Still don't like it.
Movement? Oh yes! Lots of internal movement. Not too much on the outside though
Food Cravings? The other night it was chocolate and caramel ice cream, kit kats, and pie. It came on quick too
Anything making you queasy or sick? Strong smells do.
Have you started to show yet? Gosh I hope so. I know that it is obvious to people who know I am pregnant, but no strangers have asked how far along I am yet. I feel like a balloon.
Gender? Boy or Girl. It's 50/50.
Labor signs? No
Belly Button in or out? In, but I think it's working it's way out...
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy.
Looking forward to? Holding this sweet little one in my arms!
Look at this cute little baby foot! If it doesn't make you swoon, I don't know what will.
