Week 20

How far along: 20 weeks

Total weight gain: 4 lbs

Maternity clothes: Always & forever! But seriously, I live for loose & flowy, as well as full panel maternity leggings. I will never get sick of those 🙂

Stretch marks: A few new ones on my sides.

Sleep: That’s a sore subject right now. It’s just warming me up to having another newborn. However, sleeping passed 6:30 am, would be really nice. Especially since Hayes doesn’t wake up until 8.

Best moment of this week: Any time I get to take my bra off & climb in bed. hahaha!

Miss anything: I miss ibuprofen. These hormones headaches are wearing me out.

Movement: I think I’ve felt a few flutters. The placenta is posterior, just like Hayes’. So it takes me a little longer to feel consistent movements.

Food cravings: Hard shell tacos, Cherry Coke & anything hot & starchy.

Anything making you queasy or sick: I can’t handle raw chicken. I’m also grateful that the weather is cooling down. Heat is one of the main causes of nausea for me.

Have you started to show yet: Definitely.

Gender: Baby brother! Woot Woot!

Wedding rings on or off: I haven’t been able to wear my wedding ring since Hayes.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy, but emotional 🙂

Looking forward to: Our official 20 week check-up. (My appointments are usually a few days after when I get to 20 weeks.

UPDATE

Our 20 week ultrasound was awesome. We got to see brother & he’s happy & healthy. He was moving around so fast we didn’t get a great image of his cute little profile. But here are a few of our favorites!
