| 4D Ultrasound Pictures |
How far along? 20 weeks, 4 days
Total weight gain/loss: I've gained 14 pounds total now. Baby is 13 oz according to the ultrasound tech! So if my guess is correct, that's about a pound of baby, a pound of placenta, and 12 pounds of pumpkin muffins. Seems about right. ;)
Maternity clothes? Yup
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: There is definitely a trend to my sleep this week. Every other night I sleep great until about 5 am (drool and all). The opposite nights I tend to toss and turn most of the night.
Best moment this week: Well, we enjoyed 90+ degree weather this last week in September...so that was strange but also a nice little add on to summer's end. And our new stroller and baby monitor were delivered, I was super excited about that! We also flipped Blake's car seat around to forward facing and he thinks that is pretty cool. :) Of course the best moment this week was hearing that baby was looking great at our ultrasound! This baby was not camera shy like Blake so we had to close our eyes for a while so we didn't see any gender details (not that I would be able to tell, I am the worst ultrasound viewer). Our tech even let us see some 4D pictures of our little babe! Oh my word is that fun! Baby had his/her cute little fists right up by the mouth like he/she was praying or pondering. :) Heartbeat was 145. The tech also mentioned that since Blake was such a big baby that they might do a growth scan ultrasound towards the end of this pregnancy to make sure baby isn't getting too big. She wasn't sure, as she said she's not the doctor, but she wanted me to be aware.
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss anything yet? Eating and drinking things without serious heartburn, being able to easily pick up Blake, and walking fast, haha!
Movement: I do feel movement and kicks (especially straight shots to my bladder....baby is breech right now) but most movement is felt at night when I'm relaxing or early in the morning when I'm still in bed. I can't wait for Brandon to be able to feel the kicks!
Food cravings: Water (can that be a craving? I'm thirsty all the time!) and milk. I can't think of any specific food craving.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still not digging ice cream (except pumpkin flurries). And I thought at 20 weeks it'd be safe to take my prenatal vitamin in the morning....nope. I've never run to the bathroom so fast.
Have you started to show yet: Yes and I feel like I'm carrying similar to Blake so far.
Gender prediction: I truly have no clue. Maybe girl?
Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out? In but starting to morph.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Meeting this baby! I feel like I'm in more of a hurry to meet this baby than I was with Blake....maybe that's normal the 2nd time around?
