How far along: 20 weeks :) (Whooooo halfway!!!!)
Baby Size: Baby is as big as a Banana (10.2 (ish) ounces, and 6.5in)
Maternity Clothes: Not yet, as you can tell from the above picture
I kind of just look like I ate to much, not really showing a lot.
Sleep: So far sleep hasn't been any worse than it was before
pregnancy. I do wake up with sore shoulders from trying to
sleep on my sides.
Movement: Not a whole lot :( [which stresses this momma
out, every once in a while I get a little nudge, maybe
once or twice a day! Hoping that picks up soon!]
Weight Gain: at our last appointment I had gained 8 lbs YIKES!! :)
I'm blaming the holidays! :)
Cravings: absolutely none. I have had ZERO cravings this whole pregnancy,
I'll admit it's a little disappointing :)
Aversions: Hehe I have very little food aversions, in fact the only thing
that really grosses me out is raw chicken, however hair, as in like human
hair, makes me gag like nothing else. For a while Tyler had to help me comb
my hair so I could focus on not gaging or loosing my food :/ Weirdest thing ever!!
Best moment this week: We got to see our little munchkin! Baby measured up perfectly in every aspect. In fact all measurements (head, belly, brain, kidneys, etc.) all measured exactly where they
should be and when the lady measure baby's femur it was measuring a full week and a half ahead of everything else! Baby's got nice long legs, just like daddy!!! :) (I'm kind of hoping those long legs make delivery easier!)
What I'm feeling: Super blessed! Thus far this pregnancy has been relatively easy for me.
I haven't been super sick (I admire those of you who do get super sick! amazing!! [especially you mom!!!]), Baby is progressing perfectly, and though sometimes (especially at night) I find myself full of anxiety, Tyler has been 100% confident and calm this whole time. I sure appreciate that cause he will just hold me tight and remind me how blessed we are when anxiety creeps in! It is a neat thing to watch your husband get excited and start planning for your child! I will always treasure this time, as he gets excited, asks how baby is doing, kisses and talks to my belly, and makes sure I'm getting enough water and food for baby! He is going to be the best daddy! :)
What I'm looking forward to: Baby kicking more, and Tyler, hopefully, being able to feel baby kick soon!!! :)
Weird Pregnancy moment: I have been pretty dizzy and queasy the last few days, in fact I almost passed out at the temple this week... definitely weird and definitely a first for me! Yay for baby growing though!!! :)

| Baby spent the whole ultrasound with face in my back, so I had flip on my side to get baby to roll over, luckily baby cooperated and we got a profile!! :) |
