Half Way There!!!

Baby & Mommy @ 20 weeks

Size of Baby: Length of a Cucumber (9 in), and she is right at 1lb right now :) 66th percentile which is right where my doctor wants her to be. He figured with my frame the baby would be weighing in on the lower end so he was very encouraged to see she is above average for weight.

Total Weight Gain: +6 lbs (per the doctors scale at our big 20wk apt)

Maternity Clothes? Ok...this weekend...I am going...mark my words

Gender: Girly Girl

Movement: Well at our doctors appointment this week we discovered that little lady was laying sideways facing my spine so I wouldn't feel any movement because if she kicked or anything it would be my organs and not my outer belly. So that makes me feel a little better. And then the night after my appointment I was laying on the couch (so my stomach is all shifted to one side) and I swear I felt her :) it was so cool, but then as soon as I sat up she went back to her normal position apparently because there was no movement. It's pretty cool though, regardless

Sleep: I love sleep.

What I Miss: Food...I miss food...and the desire for food.

Cravings: I was really excited to make Taco Soup this week...not sure why but when I finally did make it, it hit the spot.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Chicken...still gross

Symptoms: The area around my belly button hurts which is kind of funny, waking up really thirsty in the morning from not drinking water through the night, achy back and hips.

Belly Button in or out?  out out out out out

Best moment:  Seeing baby again at our 20 week sonogram. She was quite photogenic showing us all of her bones without a fuss. However, she was curled up facing my spine and the sonogram tech wanted to try to get her to flip over so we could see her face and it was almost like she kept turning her head as if to say "hey, i'm sleeping here" a few times. it was the coolest thing. The tech tried shaking my belly pretty vigourously with her Doppler to no avail... guess she is going to be stubborn like her parents. The tech corrected me and said "strong willed"...oh boy lets hope not :)

Song of the Week:
I have been listening to Macklemore, Of Monsters and Men, Mumford & Sons and other good roadtrip stuff.
