20 weeks!


How far along?: 20 weeks
Total weight gain: 10 pounds
How big is baby?:  6.5 inches, 10 ounces
Maternity clothes?:  Oh yeah, the looser the better!  I finally broke down and bought a belly band...it's a tight band that goes over my old jeans so I can unbutton the top button and they still stay up.  Whoever invented it is a genius.  I found a cute pair of maternity shorts and another pair of capris.  It's amazing how big of a difference it is to have "maternity" pants....so comfortable!
Stretch marks?: Not yet, but it is sure starting to feel tight in there!
Best moment this week?:  Playing "tag" with the little guy.  I felt him kick, so I pushed back at him.  Then he kicked back, so I pushed down.  Then he kicked back....it went on for a couple minutes.  It was really cute!
What made me smile?  Parking in the "expectant mothers" parking spot at Babies R Us!

Movement?:  He's moving a lot more.  I normally feel him a couple times a day...it's become my favorite thing!  
Food cravings?:  Lately, I've been craving healthy stuff....veggies and fruits!  Thank goodness, because if I kept craving sweets like I did, I would gain 50 pounds!
Belly button in or out?:  Still an innie!
What I miss:  Sleeping through the night without having to go to the bathroom!
What I'm looking forward to:  Chris being able to feel the little man kick, he's still not kicking quite hard enough for Chris to feel it from the outside.
Milestone:  I'm officially half way through my pregnancy!  Only 20 weeks left!!  :)
