Bumpdate - 20 Weeks

Well I seemed to have slacked a little this week. Because of the President's Day holiday yesterday today is my official "Monday" so we are getting off a little late this week. I did however take this photo early since we spent the weekend with my folks and couldn't travel with the chalkboard. I hadn't eaten anything yet, so there's no bloat in sight....that's all baby!

What's baby up to this week? She is the size of a banana, measuring 6 1/2" long from head to rump, 10" from head to heel and weighs about 10 1/2 oz. All measurements will be from head to heel from here on out. Baby girl is swallowing more, getting practice in for the digestive system. She is also producing meconium as well.

What's been going on with mom? I had a calm and uneventful week. It was something that was high on the necessity menu. We had a relaxing Valentine's Day and the hubby brought me home a box of See's candy. YUM! I made a nice dinner and we have just been talk talk talking away about baby names. Naming a human being is HARD! I also started my first custom piece for baby. The diaper bag! It turned out adorable. I need to put the snaps on it still and then I will let you all see it!

Symptoms: Heartburn comes and goes. Been super tired, with a lot of extra acne (probably due to the gender reveal being over!) Emotions are running high and I seem to cry a lot easier these days. Skin has been really dry and itchy so I

Yummy/Icky: Chicken salad sandwiches are really yummy as are oranges and strawberries. Really wanted some coffee this week. Asked the hubs to make himself a cup so I could have a sip, but he wouldn't let me drink any. *Sad face!*

Clothing: I wore nothing but maternity pants last week and it was AMAZING. Why I waited so long I will never know. Still in non-maternity shirts, but they have to be long. My bump shows more prominently in preggo pants! :-D although I need to return a pair of the jeans because they stretch out to momentous proportions and slide down my hips. Annoying.

Movement: We have discovered that rice causes dance parties. Baby girl loves her some rice. I notice movement a lot after eating meals. D has felt her kick several times, but sometimes she is shy. Feeling the pressure of his hand on my tummy makes her stop kicking sometimes. Lying flat on my back ensures that we feel the most movement. My mom got to feel her first granddaughter kicks as well.

Best Moment this Week: My mom feeling baby girl kick and making her first craft!

Looking forward to: Hearing the heartbeat and picking a name!!!!

I changed the font this week on the chalkboard. Haven't decided if I am going to keep this same font for the next 9 weeks, or if I am going to change it up. Time will tell.
