20 Weeks...Halfway there!



How far along? 20 Weeks...officially marking my halfway point!
How big is the baby? Baby is the size of a banana! 
Total weight gain: 12 pounds...EEKS!!! I gotta get that under control!
Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes are my best friend!
Stretch marks? No new ones ;)
Sleep: I honestly think that the reason pregnant ladies can't sleep is to get them prepared for when the baby is here. I have not gotten a solid night's sleep in a VERY long time!
Best moment this week: Definitely starting to feel baby from the inside.  It is not consistent yet, but it is absolutely amazing to sit there and feel what I know is my little baby kicking and waving! And officially looking "pregnant", that's a big milestone.
Miss Anything?  I honestly miss motivation and miss working out. I also miss sleeping, and seeing my toes :)
Movement: Every sonogram I go to, I am told that the baby is SUPER active. It's nice to be able to start feeling that. It isn't as often as a lot of moms, but I attribute that to the baby being super low and transverse.
Food cravings: Sweetarts, cuties clementines, and chicken.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  My aversions have gone away for the most part.
Labor Signs: No, luckily not.  
Symptoms:  Blimping up, round ligament pain, so tired, major pregnancy brain a.k.a. pregnesia, and quite moody. Not to mention major nesting kicking in. But it is all so worth it!
Wedding rings on or off? On, no clue how. For as quickly as I ballooned up, I was expecting my rings to come off already.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I would say happy BUT moody.  I am generally happy and so looking forward to the baby and being so far along, but I definitely get upset easily.
Looking forward to: I am looking forward to the first time I feel baby move from the outside. That is going to be so amazing! I also cannot wait until my next appointment so I can hear baby again.
