How Far Along: 20 weeks
Gender: We find out in 2 days!!! Excited would be an understatement!
Weight Gain: 4 pounds
Maternity Clothes: Yes! And I have to share this little nugget with any other mamma’s out there. I recently joined a maternity swap on Facebook, and I have found a TON of clothes there! It’s pretty simple, people post their items, you comment with your Paypal e-mail if you want that item, and they ship to you! Every seller has their own rules about shipping, and I just ordered 20 items from another member and paid $7 shipping… Not bad at all!
Navy & white 3/4 length top: Zulily ———- Banner: HoorayEveryday
Sleep: Insomnia is back again, but it’s totally manageable! I think it’s probably just my body’s way of preparing me for life with a newborn 🙂
Movement: Yes! I have been feeling more and more flutters and kicks, and I’m anxiously awaiting for A.J. to be able to feel them too!
Cravings: I had one specific craving this week, and there’s a little back story to go with it. My parents raise sheep, and the National show was held about an hour from where we live. I decided to make the trip down on Saturday for the sale portion with my sister and niece. There’s a little hole in the wall gas station that we drive by and they have the BEST breakfast pizza. We stopped and I ran in to grab 2 pieces, one for me and one for Sami. There was a guy who walked in right in front of me, so I patiently waited behind him as he stepped up to the pizza warmer. Then I watched as he took all THREE remaining pieces of pizza. I could have cried right there. So, no pizza for us, and the craving is still unfulfilled :(.
Queasy or Sick: Nope! I am still incredibly grateful that I didn’t have any morning sickness. I have been monitoring my blood pressure and blood sugar lately. I tend to have low levels with both of these, and I am going to talk to my doctor about doing my glucose test a couple of weeks early.
Have You Started To Show Yet: Yes! Also, I had one of the most humbling moments of my life, and decided I would try on a swim suit this past week. A little different view than what I’m used to, but I still feel great!
Gender Prediction: Still predicting boy! I will be shocked (but very excited too!) if we find out it’s a little girl in a couple of days!
Belly Button In or Out? In.
Looking Forward To: 20 week appointment! I absolutely love going to see my midwife, and I am so excited for our ultrasound!
