Well…..so much for weekly posts. I kept meaning to, and kept wanting to take a picture first, but Ray has been working weekends, and the last thing I want to do when we are home in the evening is pose for a picture to post. Long story short, I got nothin'. That being said, I realized this week that the only pictures I have thus far in my pregnancy are on my phone in the bathroom mirror. If someone sees me, ask if I want to take my picture! I'm gonna be sad I don't have any! :)
I'm getting exited to start the nursery…I started some house projects over the weekend, and might have ended up with a small battle scar. Let's just say, a), our lights over our vanity get HOT, and b), yes, I was close enough to the lights over our vanity to receive a 2nd degree burn on my forearm. Ouch!
Not feeling too informative or interesting tonight, so, I'll get to the point:
How Far Along: 20 weeks…halfway mark!
Size Of Baby: The little penguin (or dingo, as Ray prefers) weighs about 10 1/2 oz, and is about 6 1/2" head to rump, or 10" head to heel - the length of a banana. Coincidentally (or not?), this week my daily banana has started not sitting well in the morning…I may have to give it up for awhile :(
Maternity Clothes: Mixing and matching, though bottoms are mostly maternity. There are just not many cute maternity pants…come on, summer maxis…make yourself known!
Weight Gain: 8 lbs total at my last appointment, though I seem to be gaining a little faster this time and shirts fit a bit tighter, so I'm sure I'm higher.
Sleep: Love it. Don't get enough.
Best Moment of the Week: Ray getting to feel the little one move around
Movement: Movement has really kicked up a notch this week - this one appears to be a mover and a shaker! So far, much more movement than I ever felt with Isla, and it seems to enjoy resting on my bladder when I sleep.
Cravings: Nope. Nada.
Gender: Ready or not, we find out in the week!
Belly Button In or Out: I'm an innie, but getting flatter
Wedding Ring on or Off: Still on
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick: Bananas are making my stomach a little weird after eating them.
What I Miss: Going for runs
What I am Looking Forward to: My mama and sister and nephew coming for a visit!
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: Heartburn is daily. Uber fatigue. And very ITCHY. I've been a bit irritable/moody, but I think it's the continual rain and busy nights I've had…feeling a bit better tonight! I'm starting to feel a little joint swelling, but, like I said, it's been a long week.
Nursery: Still stressing here...
Emotions: overwhelmed, tired, excited, blah
