20 Weeks

Photobucket 
How far along? 20 weeks. Baby is the length of a banana. 
Maternity clothes? I need maternity pants for sure. The bump is taking over! Luckily I was able to get a few things this weekend with my friend Ali and again with my mom on Monday. 
Stretch marks? Not yet.
Sleep: Still getting up twice each night to go to the bathroom, but other than that it’s okay.

Best moment this week:  Finding out we are having a sweet baby boy! Everything seems so much more real now….we are actually having a baby!
Miss Anything? Nope!
Movement: Absolutely! Our little guy is super active. The ultrasound tech even said he was really wiggly. The husband was able to feel him move for the first time this week…it was such a fun moment.
Food cravings: Chocolate milk, bread with butter, and candy for sure.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still just carrots and broccoli.
Gender: Healthy little boy! And no, we don’t have a name for him yet. We’ll probably make a list to take to the hospital and then decide once we meet our little guy.
Labor Signs: Way too early. 
Symptoms: Starting to really feel pregnant this week….you can finally see my little bump!
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: Happy
Looking forward to:  Painting the nursery and decorating!

    Can't believe you are already halfway to seeing your baby boy face to face! You look so beautiful and I praise God for your wiggly, healthy baby. Wish you were closer…I'd definitely bake you a fresh strawberry pie!

    Your bump is so cute and little! I've discovered over the last few weeks that my bump looks HUGE in pictures but in reality it looks much more like yours does in this picture =) Adorable!

    I remember when we found out we were having a boy…made everything seem real, there really was a baby in there, so I completely understand what you mean. With the name, Brian and I did the sane thing. Took our top 3 name ideas and named him once we saw him. We knew right away what his name was then, no question. Congrats on your halfway point!
