Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 20 Weeks

Size of baby: According to babycenter, the baby is the length of a banana this week!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Holding steady with no real gain yet.  Dr said she wants to see some weight gain by the next appointment.  She said at this point she is not worried because the baby is right on track for growth.

Maternity Clothes: all maternity, all the time.  I broke down and bought some winter stuff since it is starting to get colder.

Gender: We found out last Thursday that.... It's A..... BOY!!!!!

Movement: I am feeling a lot more movement now, which is so reassuring.  I found out at my visit last week that the placenta is directly in the front, so that explains why it took a little longer and why I feel it mostly on the sides and very low.

What I miss: Sleeping through the night and being able to eat food without heartburn.

Sleep: Some nights I sleep straight, and some I have to get up to potty.

Symptoms: I am having some really bad situational vertigo.  The Dr suggested that I take a allergy medicine with a decongestant in it to help.... the decongestant keeps me up all night, so I am just dealing with it!

Best Moment this week: Finding out that we are having a boy and being able to call him by name now.  My joy was temporaryly taken from me as we announced our good news, but friends, some family, and coworkers along with Will helped to quickly restore it!

What I am looking forward to: starting get the house ready to welcome our new little boy into the world.  I am also looking forward to buying little boy clothes!

Here is a photo of our gender reveal cupcakes we made to tell our families on Thanksgiving day and also a 20 week photo of me!  Sorry the one of me is at a weird angle- Will took it while he was laying in bed!
