20 Weeks

Not a great picture this week. We were running out the door
and I made Mark snap it before we left the house. Hence the cut off letters. 

Baby Size: Baby is the size of a sweet potato.
Total weight gain: Around six to seven pounds I think.
Maternity clothes? Yes.
Stretch marks? Nothing new
Sleep: Sleep is on and off, good and bad.
Best moment this week: We bought a camper. We figured we needed our own space when we camp for our growing family and found a good deal on a used fifth wheel. We've worked our tails off trying to get it cleaned and ready to go.
Miss Anything? Not particularly.
Movement:  Yes finally more steady this week.
Food cravings:  Mostly just a sweet tooth in the mid afternoon.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Not really
Gender:  Still thinking girl.  We had our twenty week ultrasound yesterday and did not find out. It's going to be such a sweet surprise.
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Mostly just occasional heartburn, it is nice to finally be feeling better. 
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to: Taking our new rig out! The kids can't wait to have a sleep over in the camper and I'm excited to make some great memories with them!

17 Weeks



Baby Size: Baby is about the size of a turnip this week.
Total weight gain: Weight can is holding steady around the 6 pound mark. But man I sure feel heavy, I'm trying this week to start making sure I keep my diet in check a little more than I have been.
Maternity clothes? I've dug some pants out.  Mine are still fitting but so uncomfortable sitting at work.
Stretch marks? Nothing new, but a super itchy belly.
Sleep: Sleep is getting better. Mostly my arms are going numb and that is what has been waking me up now.
Best moment this week: Hearing babies heart.  It was a much slower rate than at the twelve week appointment. Only around 140 bpm.
Miss Anything? Comfort.
Movement:  Yes, but only occasionally still .
Food cravings:  Nothing in particular.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Not really, I even think water has been more tolerable.
