Oh Boy! 20 Weeks

Well, here we are officially 20 weeks into this pregnancy. It’s more than halfway over at this point, so I figured it might be time to do some documenting or something. Let’s start with the standard crappy iPhone bathroom bump selfie that’s already over a week old.

How far along? 20 weeks, 2 days {photo above at 19 weeks}
Total weight gain/loss: +6 lbs
Stretch marks? None on the belly, sadly my ass didn’t get the memo that we are anti-stretchmark. Though no guarantee they are from this particular pregnancy.
Maternity Clothes: Made the move to mostly maternity pants somewhere between 18 and 19 weeks. Regular tops are still ok.
Sleep: I feel like I have narcolepsy this time around…it could also be the fact I’ve got two other kids keeping me busy. Overall I’m sleeping really well right now…thanks to the sheer exhaustion. I could be up anywhere from 0-3 times a night to pee…but that’s also dependent on whether or not Rylee and/or Reese wake me up in the middle of the night. Basically, if I get woken up, I have to pee.
Best moment this month: Finding out it’s a boy! That’s a moment that I will never forget.
Movement: So much. Most active when I am driving to work in the morning. First kicks were felt at 15 weeks. No one has been able to feel them from the outside yet but the kicks are getting stronger and stronger so it’s just a matter of days, I’m sure.
Gender: It’s a BOY!

Labor Signs: Nope
Food Cravings: Nothing in particular. Early on I was all about cereal…so much like my pregnancy with Rylee.
Belly Button in or out? Neutral…but to my poor belly’s credit, it never went back to normal after I had Reese.
What I miss: Alcohol. Which is so weird considering I never really missed it during my other two pregnancies.
What I am looking forward to: Andy being able to feel his SON kick. :)
Baby Milestones: Baby is about the length of a banana and, according to our ultrasound, weighs about 11 ounces.
Other Goodness: I braved my very first garage sale over the weekend. It was a sale for all things kid/baby. I went without many expectations and was able to find a few cute onesies but the big score was a Pottery Barn bedding set for $15! It boyish, but not crazy boyish. It’s white with old-fashioned airplanes on it with red& blue  and yellow & green accents. It will work well with our already yellow wall and other yellow and green things like changing pads, glider-rocker, etc. It’s super cute and it happens to go perfectly with a model airplane of the plane Andy’s grandfather flew in WWII that Grandpa himself made.
