20 Weeks


How far along? 20 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss? I think I'm probably up 7 pounds now? We'll find out a number on Tuesday at my next ob appointment
Maternity clothes? All regular clothes in this picture but if I want to wear any pants it's maternity all the way
Stretch marks? None! (And hopefully it will stay that way)
Sleep? Still the same, not sleeping for super long periods of time but sleeping several times throughout the day
Best moment last week? Picking out paint colors for the nursery, feeling my little girl kick!
Movement? She definitely is moving now. I was in the bathtub this week and saw my belly moving. It took about 3 times for me to realize oh this is the baby kicking ha. She's done it now 3 or 4 times where her daddy would be able to feel IF he was home! Fingers crossed she does it this weekend while he's off work!
Food cravings? Key lime yogurt, Pez candy, Edy's crunch dibs
Gender? A sweet baby girl, Grace Foster Huey
Labor signs? None
Belly button it/out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
What I miss: Nothing right now
What I am looking forward to: Painting her nursery on Saturday! And my anatomy scan on Tuesday!
Milestones: Feeling Grace move for sure & reaching the halfway point! I can't believe it! I love being pregnant, remind me of this at Week 35 and on.

19 Weeks

How far along? 19 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss? Up 4 pounds at my last doctor's visit. I think I'm probably up 6 now?
Maternity clothes? Maternity jeans are amazingly comfortable. They're still a little big and I have to pull them up a lot but I love them.
Stretch marks? None! (And hopefully it will stay that way)
Sleep? Sleeping okay. I can't seem to sleep for long stretches of time because I'm already getting uncomfortable while sleeping. Yikes! 
Best moment last week? That there's been some days of fall weather here, it still gets pretty hot most days but I'm loving the cooler mornings
Movement? I think I felt her move this week. It wasn't anything strong so I'm not really 100% sure what it was
Food cravings? FRUIT, the little pickles from Earth Fare
Gender? A sweet baby girl, Grace Foster Huey
Labor signs? None
Belly button it/out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On

What I am looking forward to: Showing the hubs the nursery furniture I like this weekend and probably ordering 3 of the pieces, woo hoo! That means it's time to paint!
Milestones: Maybe feeling Grace move? Getting soooo close to halfway there!
