Definitely thought I posted this when I wrote it. Whoops. I can't believe I'm already 20 weeks. This pregnancy is flying by for sure. And usually the last few weeks of pregnancy feel like an eternity, but with my due date being so close to the holidays and my history of being induced early, I have a feeling the rest of the pregnancy will fly by at an alarming rate!
how far along: 20 weeks (compare to 20 weeks with Ryann, Elsie and Thea)
size of baby: A Belgian endive. I don't even really know what that is let alone have a clue how big it is, but the app says roughly ten inches.
weight gain: +12.5 pounds. You better believe I'll hold on to that half pound thank you very much.
maternity clothes: Yep. Looking forward to cooler weather and leggings and lots more stretchy things! Lol.
symptoms: I can fall asleep at the drop of the hat, and I can physically tell I'm pregnant just because the belly can get in the way and my crotch hurts on the regular. But overall I feel pretty darn good. Going to enjoy this little sweet spot while I can!
exercise: My knees were hurting pretty bad at the beginning of the week, but I did I think four videos this past week, along with hitting 10,000+ steps daily. This morning I did intervals, it was only a total of about one mile running to two miles walking, but at least I haven't completely lost my ability to run. My last 'run' in the workout I lasted four minutes, I'll take it.
cravings/aversions: At the moment I can't wait to eat all the watermelon we have cut up in the fridge. But mostly just food. I like food. A lot.
movement: I'm feeling her a tiny bit here and there daily, but it is still barely enough to feel. To the point that I question if I've felt movement and I've become more dependent on my doppler in the last few days than I had been. I know my placenta is completely across the front and I know that makes a big difference. But come on baby girl, help your mama out.
sleep: Surprisingly good.
gender: Girl
looking forward to: Elsie and Thea start preschool on Wednesday, and so begins my two mornings a week to try and get all the nesting done! I'm actually pretty pumped about it. I'm determined to get all the toys and things organized to a point that it isn't such a hassle when I tell the girls to clean up. And I have to figure out how I'm going to fit all of Ryann and Elsie's stuff in one room. Yikes.
worries: That something will be wrong at our ultrasound. Less than two weeks to go.
best moment this week: Reaching that official halfway point?
