How far along? 20 Weeks - Holy cow, we are half way done!!
Size of Baby: Cantalope (6.5 inches long, 10.5 ounces)
Waist: 37 in
Total weight gain: 5.5 lbs, nothing this past week. That's good for me in the long run, but I'm hoping Baby is growing as much as he should be!
Maternity clothes? Some of my tops are now getting too small. I've bought a few tops this past week, but haven't had to wear them yet.
Stretch marks? None yet.
Sleep: Yesterday I bought the Snoogle Pregnancy pillow, can't wait to try it out. I have reached the stage where I should not sleep on my stomach. Because of that, I am not very comfortable at night and have woken up with a sore back and really bad ligament pain in my abdomen. So time for a pregnancy pillow!
Best moment this week: Still love feeling the baby move. Plus, Todd finally felt him! He most likely already has felt him move, but he didn't really know what he was supposed to feel before. He thought he was supposed to feel an actual kick, but I told him its more like flutters right now, so now he knows he's feeling baby move which is very exciting!
Miss anything? A good night's sleep.
Movement: He's pretty active in there!
Food cravings: No actual cravings, but this week I definitely wanted more sweets. I have been saying I've craved more salty/savory foods my whole pregnancy and have been staying away from the sweets, but not this week. I wanted cookies and ice cream.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still the smell of meat. I also don't ever really feel like eating meat as well. If we have meat in pasta, I will eat all of the noodles and leave most of the meat on my place (much to Todd's chagrin).
Gender: Boy!
Labor signs: No.
Symptoms: Same from before: Constipation, hungry all of the time, cramping/round ligament pain, back pain. Now I have hip pain as well! I feel that if I stand/sit in the same position for too long. This week I can also add stomach ache. A couple of days I had a stomach ache into the night...ugh.
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy.
Looking forward to: Our ultrasound tomorrow. I can't wait to see our little guy.
Fact: At 20 weeks, he can cover his ears with his hands if the sounds are too loud, and he may even "jump" inside your womb if any sounds startle him. The hair on his scalp is also growing. This is a very important time in terms of sensory develpment. (-Everyday Family)
