HALFWAY THERE! 20 weeks
Holy cow we are halfway in our pregnancy....the past 19 weeks have flown by. I hear that is usually how it goes, then the last half drags by because you are so excited about the arrival. Mommy friends...was this true for you? I have really started getting into the whole boy theme...but I can't help it...I still absolutely hate anything powder/baby blue. The color seriously makes me ill...*shudders* SO Hudson will be wearing lots of navy and brown because those are my only two other options it seems...
Work has been stressful and exhausting so when I get home at night I seem to seek solace in a book and bubble bath...and a back rub from J which seems to make everything better! It is officially show season so time will go by fast whether I am ready for it or not, I'm sure! Show Season {for those of you not in event planning} means crunch time. Every single deadline through out the year? Due right now....and it is full steam ahead until my show is done September 24th...until the next season!
So before I lose my marbles...here is my 20 week post!
How far along? 20 weeksSize: Hudson is the size of a banana or cantaloupe (depending on which website you read)
Total weight gain: +6 lbs total
Maternity clothes? Excited for fall to wear some of the sweaters I got!
Stretch marks? 2 on my left hip (not a happy camper...luckily I can't tell on my right side because of my tattoos)Sleep: Still sleeping 7-8 hours a night with pillow between my knees or under my left hip---a friend made me a 6' long body pillow which is seriously heavenly

| Diogi (our Husky) wanted to be in this one |
Miss Anything? Knowing exactly what I would like to eat...I know I'm hungry...just don't know what I want!And I miss being able to eat a full meal. It seems like I take 3 bites and I'm super stuffed
Movement: He's a wiggler, that's for sure!
Food cravings: Still wanting fruit and veggies...but also more hearty soups. Looking forward to Fall!
Anything making you queasy or sick: If I don't eat when I first wake up. The smell of J's coffee. Overly fragrant flowers. Standing up too fast!
Gender: Baby Boy!
Labor Signs: None.
Symptoms: Some round ligament pain (hip pain)
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On :)
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy...but definitely get grumpy if I don't eat
Looking forward to: Getting our glider! I can't wait to sit in there and dream :)
Next Appointment: September 6th, another Ultra Sound to check the Previa

It flew for me until I hit about 24 weeks, at which point I ended up in the hospital twice for a kidney stone and kidney infection and they wanted to monitor Caden while on the narcotics. Then I got a stomach bug. Then it flew a little more again until I was about 34 weeks--soon after that we nearly had to have a c-section unexpectedly because of his arrhythmia then we found out it was the "good" kind that would disappear immediately after he took 1-2 breaths at the hospital (if it didn't disappear prior--which since he decided to chill in there 'til after 41 weeks it had the chance to do, and did). But I must say it did crawl on interminably from the 32/34 weeks 'til the 40--and beyond!
ReplyDeleteUh...thanks for the hope? Hahahaha With the Previa J and I have read that most are delivered early with the C-Section around 34-36 weeks. I am going to talk to our midwife next time to see how true that is...
