20 Weeks {HALF WAY!}








How Far Along? 20 weeks! (As of November 20th)

Size? Banana

Maternity Clothes? Still trying to get away with as few maternity pieces as possible, but realizing that isn't going to happen... haha The tunic in these pics is old navy maternity.

Weight Gain? At my appointment this week I was down another lb! so 4lbs

Gender? Jer says he is thinking a boy and now I am starting to think boy too

Old Wives Tale: They say, if you’re carrying a girl, then baby’s heart rate will be above 140bpm (beats per minute). A boy is said to have a heart rate under 140bpm. The last 4 appointments baby has had a 140bpm

How big sis is doing? Bed time is going MUCH better! This week we had 3 nights in a row in the big girl bed!! (fingers crossed for tonight as well!) :)

Sleep? Sleep hasn't been great this week. Between us all being sick and now I'm stressed about needing to "get ready" for baby now that we are half way I have SO much on my mind!!

Food Cravings? While I was sick just ICE COLD water and crushed ice! Now that I'm feeling better soup and the other day I made bbq turkey meatballs! haha Still loving Jimmy johns too!

Anything making you queasy or sick: no, thank goodness!

What I Miss? Well I am pretty sure I am "as big" at 20 weeks as I was when I delivered Liv at 26 weeks. I def need to invest in some sort of support cami because this growing bump is killing my back and the pressure on my belly is awful!!

Symptoms? Still have heartburn, sensitive nose and then the above about my belly!

Mood? stressed, happy and tired

Best Moment of the Week? Dr appointment, love having reassurance from dr! STRONG heartbeat and everything is ok with baby even after this horrible flu we had!!

Looking forward to: Going to visit my friend Sarah for a lunch/playdate and she is revamping my hair! (HOORAY!) Excited for a change!! :) (As you can see in the above pics she worked her magic!)

I am SO happy we are over the flu! It started with Liv, then Jer, then me! Even with the flu shot I still got it! Of course Liv handled it the best out of the 3 of us and I had it the worst! So glad to be healthy again!!

Love your blog!

I also have a 26 weeker preemie (born Sept. 2011 weighing 1 lb 15oz---now 2 years old) and I was just curious if you are taking any precautions for this pregnancy to prevent another preterm birth.

Thanks,
Julia
