Halfway there!!

How far along? 20 weeks 2 days


Total weight gain/loss: +3 since 16 week appt(Geez, louise)


Maternity clothes? YES, but still getting away with the bella band for a few of my capri's. Need to start shopping for pants and a dress to wear to a wedding in October....not looking forward to that

Stretch marks? None... lets hope it stays that way :) I lucked out and didn't have any with DS


Sleep: Sleeping much better since DH got me the boppy sleeping pillow.


Best moment this week: making it to the halfway point. Hearing a strong heartbeat @ 163 today! Our office sets up two appts around 20 wks...one w/ the NP and the other in the radiology lab...this is the actual anatomy scan. So can't wait to see the little munchkin in a few days :)


Movement: Very strong everyday around 9/10 am, then around 4/5pm and always everynight around 10pm. Slight movements here and there throughout the day. Baby alwasy seems to stop moving when I call DH to feel(I told DH baby doesn't like him...LOL) Today DH finally felt a kick and pointed to the exact spot that I felt it at...YAAAAAAY!!! I have been so anxious for him to feel.

Food cravings: Everything that I am not supposed to have, of course. And chocolate molten cakes...YUM

Gender: Unknown, and we have no plans of finding out. Every week it switches, this week I am still feeling GIRL..so much so that I am only focusing on girl names right now. Plus we visited family last week and everyone is swearing it's a girl, my 8 month niece was extra friendly to me this time and baby's heartrate is steady in the 160's(all old wives tales ;)) ~p.s. our anatomy scan is sched for monday, so I will make sure to tell the tech at least 50 times that we don't want to know.~


Labor Signs: Again...No thank you!!!


Belly Button in or out? still putruding and making imprints on all my cotton tees and the dark line is def. getting darker


What I miss: Bleu Cheese, sub sandwiches and Sonic's footlong chili cheese coneys(of course Coney's were a treat I only indulged in once or twice a year, but now I am craving one everytime I see a Sonic commercial.)


What I am looking forward to: Starting on registries...already started Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware...these two are so hard for "surprise" babies(so little to choose from), so can't wait to go to Babies R' Us in a few weeks to point,scan and click away!!!!
