~Week 20~



Wow, when you compare this with my 15 week picture…it doesn't look that different. I think that one was partially a food baby, haha. But something must have changed, because everyone actually notices that I'm pregnant now, even at work in my shapeless scrubs. And the scale has definitely also noticed.

These days I'm feeling pretty good, unless I'm standing for 8+ hours (like at work) or I decide to purge my house (like yesterday, spring cleaning/moving prep!). Then my back likes to complain. 

Baby D is apparently the size of a banana, about 6.5 inches and 10.6 ounces. I can't believe we're halfway done and he (or she) isn't even a pound yet! You have a long way to go, baby. I'm expecting at least an 8 pounder, probably more if my husband's genetics have anything to say about it.

I started feeling little flutters here and there around 17 weeks, which have turned into lots and lots of wiggles! Can't feel anything from the outside yet though. 

Tomorrow is Ultrasound Day! I'm so so so excited!

Total weight gain: 14 pounds (yikes).
Cravings: Salty snacks, fast-food burgers (which I've only indulged in once), and cantaloupe/peaches.
Miss anything? Some of my favorite clothes!
Gender prediction: The closer the ultrasound gets, the more I waver. Still 85% sure it's a boy though.
Movement: Often.
Highs/Lows: Feeling Baby move more and more, and we also got an accepted offer on a house! Hopefully we'll close in about 4-5 weeks. And my best friend got engaged/is getting married in 2 months! Lot's of good things happening. The biggest lows were getting miserably sick with a sinus cold for 2 weeks, and Kevin being out of town for a week. But I'm all good and he's back, so yay. :)
Looking forward to: The ultrasound tomorrow, and our 2 year anniversary is on Monday!

Oh, Baby

Only one more week! Then we will (hopefully) know whether Baby D is a Little Mister or Miss. My bet is still Mister, though I don't know why. Oh Baby, please please please be cooperative, I'm dying to know for sure!

The gas bubble/flutters have turned into wiggles, sometimes even what feels like a pretty good kick, at least for a half-pound human. It's comforting, even when I'm trying to sleep and it feels like Baby is attempting tiny cartwheels. Little acrobat.

Speaking of sleep, that sounds really nice.
