20 Weeks

Current size of baby: banana

How far along? 20 weeks

Total weight gain: 13.5 lbs

Inches Gained: 5 inches

Maternity clothes? Yes.

Sleep: Okay

How I'm feeling Pretty good. I’m starting to feel out of breath sometimes with the usual pregnancy aches and pains. However, even the “usual” is concerning to me until I get farther along.

Best moment this week: Getting the house a bit more organized. I’ve realized that we have too much stuff, so a lot has been thrown away or gone into storage (until we can have a garage sale.) We are transforming our unfinished “kitty /storage room” into an office so that the office can become the baby room. Ryan has been busy wiring the room and putting in the lighting. They are starting the drywall this week.

Food cravings: Water. . .pretty good craving I’d say.

Food aversions: None

Gender: Unknown

Labor Signs: NO

Belly Button in or out? Out

What I miss: Being able to get things done when the motivation strikes. I really have to make sure that I’d don’t do too much physically.

What I am looking forward to: Finding out the sex of the baby on August 16th.

Milestones: At 20 weeks, I can now go to labor and delivery instead of the ER if a problem occurs. Hopefully, the resident OB knows more than the ER doctor would. Let’s hope I don’t have to make a trip anytime soon though.
