20 weeks - I felt him move!

How far along: 20 weeks, 0 days

 

Total weight gain: About 16 lbs. 

 

Maternity Clothes: Becoming a regular thing now! I plan on building up my wardrobe this weekend.  Maternity shirts just fit so much better and I'm tired of squeezing into my regular shirts and pulling them down all day.

 

Stretch Marks: Not yet

 

Sleep:  It's been better! My hips have started hurting when I lay down, so I have to turn over a few times in the night.

 

Best moment this week:  I felt Grant move! I've been feeling little pokes occasionally, but I wasn't 100% sure it was him.  I drank a glass of ice water, and about 5 minutes later I felt a lot of movement in my belly and I was positive it was the baby moving around.  Since I know what I'm looking for now, I've noticed him moving around a few times a day.

 

Worst symptom this week: Hip and lower back pain.

 

Movement: Finally feeling some movement.  It's not very strong and you have to be paying attention to notice it, but it is there. :)

 

Food cravings:  Nothing in particular this week.

 

Anything making you queasy: Nope :)

 

Have you started to show yet:  Yes! At my 20 week appointment my uterus was above my belly button, so that explains why I'm showing a lot more now.

 

Gender prediction:  It's a boy! Confirmed at 15 and 20 weeks!

 

Labor signs:  Too soon!

 

Belly Button:  In, but getting shallower.

 

Wedding Rings:  On!

 

Happy or Moody:  Happy

 

Milestones: Made it to the halfway point!

 

Looking forward to:  Seeing him again at 24 weeks, and hopefully passing my glucose test.
