20 down, 20 to go!

Total Weight Gain: 17 lbs.

Symptoms: Still feeling good for the most part. It was really humid this past weekend and we don't have central air in the house, so I had to take lots of rests from housework with ice water and the fan. It seemed to wipe me out pretty quick and cause me to get overheated more than normal.

Stretch Marks: None. Fingers crossed.

Sleep: Sleep is beginning to get a little harder. Last night was a doozy. We got a new bed so we switched the bedroom around and now I am in front of the window fan and couldn't make up my mind if I was too cold or not. In addition, I am tossing and turning trying to get as comfortable as possible without laying on my stomach or back.

Best Moment Last Week: Finding out that we are having a baby BOY!!

Movement: This little boy loves to move. The movements started around week 18 and were pretty consistent by the end of that week. He moves in the morning on my way in to work and when I get to my desk, in the afternoon around snack time and then again around dinner time. I have a feeling that this kid will love to eat :-)

Food Cravings: Still really haven't had any strong cravings. Which is strange considering the 17 lbs that I have packed on. I am trying hard to make good, healthy food choices and not overeat.

What I Miss: Good nights sleep on the belly, nasty processed deli meat, Zumba and beer.

What am I looking forward to: deciding on nursery furniture and getting the projects completed around the house so that we can focus on putting the nursery together.

Milestones: Half-way there! We also went to BB-r-us and finished out registry over the weekend. That was a relief.

How is Daddy? Daddy is doing great. Being very helpful with all of the projects around the house and I think growing more and more excited knowing that he will be having a son!

20 Week belly shot (this angle makes me look huge!) I don't think it really looks this big when I am clothed :-)


How far along: 20 Weeks
