Bump-Date- 20 Weeks! Halfway Done!

Today's Date? May 12

How far along? TWENTY weeks! Yay for reaching the halfway point!

Baby's Size? 10 inches head to heal, about 6 1/2 inches head to rump! 11 ounces! The size of an banana! getting so big!

Days until next doctors appointment? TODAY we had THE ultrasound! It was AWESOME! I ended up watching the whole thing and Jake recorded it on his phone. So rather than my mom doing a reveal for Jake and I, we will do a reveal for everyone there. I am excited! After we do the reveal in Louisiana I will post the 20 week appointment details in a separate blog post! :) Next appointment is on June 9 and it's the one where I take the blood test that screens for diabetes and abnormal antibodies. I have heard that the glucose tolerance drink for that is disgusting. Cheers!

 Total weight gain/loss? +11 lbs, I am so glad that I am gaining weight because I have no appetite and still have puke days. I don't get it!

Maternity clothes? I need maternity pants BAD... I literally don't fit in any of my pants/shorts/capris. I kind of fit in my gauchos, which I only have two of. I need to find some shorts that fit before I go to Louisiana the end of this week.

Stretch marks? Not yet!

Sleep? I have a really hard time falling asleep and staying asleep, but I am always tired. I'm always too hot or cold and have too many aches and pains. But I love sleep. Sleep is my friend!

Best moment this week? Definitely my appointment today, if that counts!! We waited for over an hour to be seen! It was killer! But so worth it! Coolest ultrasound!

Movement? The baby moves ALL. THE. TIME. I love it. I don't think everyone believes how serious I am when I say that I have a really active child! Every time we go to an appointment at some point the doctor, technician, or PA mentions how feisty or active the baby is. He/she (don't you wish I would accidentally spill the beans... ;) ) is really always moving and is very strong! I'm not complaining so far! Though I have felt him/her pushing on my bladder and that's really not cool.

Food cravings? I have no appetite. Sometimes I do but it's rare. And it's dumb because half the time after I eat I feel sick. But if I ever don't eat I am sick, too. I feel like I'm still in my first trimester when it comes to food! It's awful! I am dying to get my hands on zofran but it's an expensive pain so I haven't gotten any yet. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? It's different every day! Haha. Not eating and eating both makes me queasy and sick. Sometimes watching movies. Cars. Smells. Being tired.

Have you started to show yet? Yep! But I didn't measure this week. I actually feel like I have a smaller waist but the baby has moved up, if that makes sense. It's not as far out but further up. I'm not sure though. 

Missing anything? I miss feeling good when I eat and wanting to eat and sleeping through the night and being comfortable and not peeing every half hour.

Gender of baby? Well I am not going to say yet even thought we know! I will say what our guesses were up to our appointment- still girl! Jake's thought girl from the beginning and I've thought girl for a while now! It's really fun knowing :) and we've already bought clothes, for a screaming deal, from Jake's brother Adam and his wife Jennie. I feel like I robbed them they were so generous! It's been really fun having baby... blank... clothes! ;)

Labor signs? Nope!

Belly button in or out? In, but slowly getting shallower! Cool, huh?!

Wedding rings on or off? On!

Happy or moody most of the time? I'm super happy but when I am sick I feel panicky and not happy.

Pregnancy symptoms this week? Sore back, sore lower abdomen, headaches, nausea, puking, tired, bit more emotional...

Looking forward to? Telling my family the gender of our baby!
