How far along? 20 weeks 2 days!
Total weight gain/loss: 11.5 lbs!! :-/ alittle higher than my goal of 10 lbs in 2o weeks but i'm okay with it. just bracing myself for the faster weight gain towards the end
Maternity clothes? all
maternity pants! starting to wear maternity shirts! mostly because they fit better and make the bump look nicer than the non maternity shirts. yesterday i found my first non maternity shirt that def does not fit anymore! yikes.
Symptoms: still having tailbone issues once in awhile. esp watching the dark knight rises. man that movie is long! besides that not too much else. just eating like always
Sleep: normal! i haven't had to get up to pee in the middle of the night for awhile so thats nice. and we got a new bed frame so i don't wake up when my hubs tosses and turns so that helped alot! and our little boy doggie can finally jump on the bed by himself cause its shorter! before he'd just cry until someone picked him up. he's a cutie tho! here is our lookout dog.
Best moment this week: reaching 20 weeks! the first 8 weeks felt so long. but ever since 12 weeks time seems to have flown by! i can't believe i'm halfway through now! i'm sure this next half will fly by too. Had a dr's appt on wed and got the results from our anatomy scan. everything is measuring good. right now i'm measuring 4 days ahead which is fine. the only thing major i found out is that my placenta is completely covering my stomach, so thats why i don't feel much movement and thats why its hard to hear the heartbeat on my doppler sometimes (it sounds really echo-y). but the dr was able to get the heartbeat clearly from the side of my stomach.
it was also my birthday on wed so thats part of the reason for the large weight gain from last week to this week! but it was fun hanging out with family and eating! got 2 free sprinkles cupcakes and a free starbucks drink!! yes! family pic except we're missing my brother and our other dog whos trying to eat the bun i'm holding!
And this is what the hubs (but really I) got me for my birthday! love it! may plan to add babys initial to it or just get a necklace with baby's initial. we'll see!
Movement: kicks and punches seem to be getting stronger! it started about 2 days ago. yesterday i think i felt the baby move from the outside. hubs still hasn't felt anything since i usually rest my hands on my stomach out of habit and happen to feel it then. but esp at night when i'm getting ready to sleep, the baby starts kicking and punching alot! hope we don't have a night owl!

Cravings: love thinking about burgers and fries. or sweets. nothing has gotten so bad that i needed it right away... hope it stays that way!
Anything making you queasy or sick: steamed broccoli, fish sauce
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Innie
What I miss: miss fruity alcoholic drinks! and drinking coffee everyday!
What I am looking forward to: 24 week viability! continuing decorating the baby room, bigger belly bump!
