I am 20 weeks and half-way through this pregnancy! I cannot believe how fast these five months have gone by! We found out at our last appointment that he is for sure a boy and that everything is developing right on track. We were able to watch the doctor do an anatomy scan and measure his little heart and brain. Steven and I were on cloud nine watching our little boy move around and seeing his little heart beat. He is so busy in there, we have had a few sonograms and the doctor had a hard time doing measurements during all of them because he is moving around so much. At one point during the ultrasound he raised his little arm and gave us a thumbs up. He loves to move his arms around and was touching his face quite a bit. He also likes to keep his legs crossed...the doctor doing the anatomy scan said he was shy. I feel him move a lot now and it really is the most amazing feeling. He weighs 13 ounces and is already the size of a cantaloupe!! It is time to start getting his nursery together and plan for his arrival!

How far along? 20 weeks
How big is baby? About the size of a cantaloupe.
Total weight gain? Eight pounds I think. I didn't have my scale this weekend, but I was around 8 pounds up a few days after.
Maternity clothes? Some maternity clothes and using a hair band for my regular pants and shorts.
Sleep? Sleeping great with my snoogle.
Best moment of the week? Feeling him move so much and seeing him at the ultrasound.
Food cravings? Coffee and sweets. I don't have any strong cravings where I have to have something, but coffee and something sweet always sounds delicious. This week I had a banana pudding shake from chick-fil-a and a non-fat white chocolate mocha with cinnamon and a birthday cake cakepop from Starbucks and it was amazing! I'm definitely letting myself splurge on treats a little more.
Food aversions? None. I am always hungry!
Symptoms: Back pain! My lower back is causing a lot of discomfort, but that is a small price to pay for this baby boy!
Mood this week: Happy!
Movement: He is moving all the time now and I love it!
What I’m looking forward to: Buying his furniture and bedding.
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach
Next appointment: May 8th
Oh my heavens....do you mean to tell me the banana pudding shake is BACK at Chic fil A??? You don't know how long I have been waiting for this day! : )
