Pregnancy Journal - 20 Weeks

Pregnancy Journal - 20 Weeks

How Far Along? 20 Weeks - Halfway!!!

Size of Baby: Large Melon - 10.08 inches and 10.58 oz ( she weighs 12 oz according to the sonogram :) )

Gender: GIRL!! Zoey Grace - See my reveal post here! I'm the aunt of some very beautiful baby boys and I love, love, love shopping for sweet boy clothes but I do always walk wistfully past the sweet dresses and bows. It's going to feel surreal having a purpose when shopping in that section of the store!

Maternity Clothes: I bought a few more ruched tanks and a very comfy black maxi skirt from Old Navy. A sweet co-worker of mine also lent me some of her maternity clothes. Now if it would just warm up so I can wear more of my new clothes! 

Best Moment This Week: Finding out we are going to be the proud parents of a sweet baby GIRL!! I had a very strong feeling but it was still a shock to hear the sonographer say it.

Nursery: Now we can get this party started!! We bought our paint sample of Lavender Mist from Benjamin Moore on the way home from our appointment and we LOVE the color. Can't wait to start designing her room!

Movement: Lots of kicks and jabs!! I feel her a little less when I'm at work, up and moving but I always feel her several times a day. I think she's a night owl as I'm starting to feel her more in the evenings and even while sleeping. I pressed lightly on my left side the other night and she pushed back!! It was such a weird feeling! 

Cravings: Nothing really! Still trying to eat healthier and more frequent, smaller meals are a must.

Symptoms: I'm happy to report that the horrible constipation has subsided...for now. Other than that unpleasant experience, I have been feeling great!!!

Sleep: Sleep has been either really good or really bad. I'm definitely exhausted after the first week back to school and all of the gender reveal excitement! I'm hoping for a great weekend of sleep.

What I Miss: I can't think of a thing this week...just loving this time in our lives!

Looking Forward to: Getting started on the nursery and our regular monthly appointment where we'll hear what our doctor thinks of Zoey's growth and progress. We also plan to get started on her registry!
