20 Weeks

How far along? 20 Weeks
Baby Size: A small cantaloupe...or the length of a banana!
Total weight gain/loss: According to my doctor this morning I've gained a grand total of 1.5 lbs. I'm so freaking proud of that number I wanted to jump up and down
Maternity clothes? Yeah I'm much more comfortable in maternity pants. I can still wear my pre-pregnancy shirts though
Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Fine, I have to pee a lot at night though.
Best moment this week: Starting our registry.
Miss Anything? Movement, I havent' really felt her wiggling in a while but the doc says its probably her position.
Movement: Not really and it's kinda bothering me, asked the doc and she said within the next month I'll really feel her.
Food cravings: French Dip...it was delicious.
Anything making you queasy or sick: OJ and if I go too long without eating.
Have you started to show yet: Yeah I have a belly
Gender: GIRL
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: I've been pretty happy, but had a minor set back this morning and freak out when the doc told me I had partial placenta previa. My nature was to google the crap out of it and hopefully I'm in the 90% of women that it clears up in. I have another ultrasound in 2 weeks and doc appt in 4. Regardless just means I get to see my daughter more often.
Looking forward to: Decorating her nursery. We want to paint one wall an accent color and started picking out her bedding and theme. I'm excited to make her a place of her own.

19 Weeks and Gender Reveal

 
How far along? 19 weeks...almost halfway there!

Total weight gain/loss: 8+ lbs and counting
Maternity clothes? Uh yeah definetly!!
Stretch marks? Not yet!
Sleep: Sleeping pretty well
Best moment this week: Hands down...finding out the sex of the baby
Miss Anything? Nope
Movement: Feeling more and more
Food cravings: Nuggets, Nuggets and Nuggets....seriously
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope, but if I drink too fast, I get sick.
Have you started to show yet: LOL!
Gender: GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On, though the hotter it is, the worse the swelling
Mood? Ecstatic!
Looking forward to: Getting all the plans in place for the nursery.

We had our anatomy scan at 8:30 this morning, we were so excited and nervous about finding out the gender! I really hoped that Baby would cooperate...I've heard that the umbilical cord can often get in the way and make it difficult to get a good shot. The tech revealed that baby was breech, which made it a little difficult to get all the angles and shots the tech wanted. After about 45 minutes she was able to get the "money shot." Kevin was sooooo excited to hear "girl." Anyway...we got to see how much Baby had progressed over the last several weeks.  She has a healthy spine and we could see the kidneys, heart, brain, and more! It was amazing! I get to go back in 4 weeks for another scan, since they couldn't see all her heart chambers and abdomen from how she was laying, but that's okay....I get to see my daughter again!!
