20 Weeks - Half way there!

How far along? 20 weeks! Baby is now the size of a cantaloupe! That seems HUGE to me!  About 6.5 inches long (crown to rump) and weighs about 10.2 ounces.

Total weight gain/loss: +10 lbs total

Maternity clothes: Yes, all the time now.

Sleep: It depends on the night.  I've been suffering from middle of the night heartburn the last few nights, which is not helpful when I'm trying to sleep.  It hurts!

Best moment this week: I had a stranger acknowledge that I'm pregnant for the first time yesterday.  It's nice to know I finally look pregnant and not just fat.

Movement: Yes, all the time!  She kicked me pretty hard last night.  I'm sure I'll be able to feel it from the outside soon.

Food cravings: I've been craving my favorite alcoholic drink!  Bahama Mama's!!  I never craved alcohol with either of my previous pregnancies so it's very weird.

Gender: A perfect little princess

Labor Signs: No way

Belly Button in or out? Still an innie.

What I miss: The occasional cocktail and sleeping on my belly.

What I am looking forward to: Our anatomy scan TODAY!!  And Daddy being able to feel her move.

Weekly Wisdom: I think the baby has sucked the wisdom right out of me.

Milestones: I felt the baby kick or punch right behind my belly button yesterday.  All of the previous movement has been down pretty low.  So she must be growing!!

  1. Yay, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who goes through (and hates) the gaining-weight-but-still-don't-look-pregnant phase. You're lucky to be out of it!

    I hope your scan went well!
