Quick 20 week pregnancy update



How far along?
20 weeks today.

How big is the peanut?
At my ultrasound on Thursday March 10, baby was 9oz and 6 inches long, with a BPM of 141. According to the beloved internet, baby would be about 10.5 ounces now and 6.5 inches--the size of a banana from head to bum.

Total weight gain/loss?
down to around -6 lbs since beginning of the pregnancy (I had gained .5lbs at my last appointment)

Maternity clothes?
Not yet. My pants still fit comfortably. A few pairs are still a bit big. but the longer I can put it off the better..will be living in dresses and sandals soon!

Sleep?
Not ideal. It's like a curse. A wonderful sleeping toddler. A husband that sleeps like a dead person. But me? Peeing constantly, and can't fall asleep. If something wakes me up in the middle of the night, it's all over. I just stay up until it's time for work because it's impossible to get back to sleep. Grrrr. I'm a light sleeper to begin with though usually, so that's probably the main problem.

Best moment this week?
Finding out the gender, and seeing her on the screen again!

Symptoms?
Just tired. And the no sleep thing, but I don't count that because I was a bad sleeper anyways lol

Food cravings?
Onto creamy things now--milk still, cheese, mint oreo blizzards. Little miss is taking a lot of my calcium apparently, so I'm hammering as much milk into me as possible lol

Food aversions?
really rich heavy foods make me feel really sick, but only if I eat them. I'm doing ok for smells and stuff now.

Gender?
Girl!

Labor signs?
Uh, no. But suffering lots from that round ligament pain or whatever, where it feels like pulling when you stand or move too fast.

Belly button in or out?
in--it never even came close to popping for G, so we will see if it does this time.

What I miss?
Stomach and back sleeping . Add heartburn when I'm on my back to symptoms, I suppose!

What I'm looking forward to?
Moving this weekend so I can order everything for the babe! Also seeing the OB next week on Tuesday :)

Milestones?
the half way mark!

Bump?
Yes. It's taking over now. getting hard and bigger. But can't rival the side of my chest. That area is just out of control.

    Ugh the ligament pains are awful. I had them with Rylie from week 14 to 25, constantly.

Life Lately

-Hosting Bearbrook Ladies night two weekends ago was wonderful! I put out a full charcuterie spread, made a mint/cranberry/grapefruit drink to share, and all of us received a tarot card reading, palm read and a facial read. Pretty much the reoccurring consensus between all three reads (it was two different people doing it) was that my heart and mind live in a state of conflict, but that it works for me to live in a state of balance. I deal mostly with logic and facts, and less with emotions; they think I would be good as an analyst (weird, since this is pretty well my role at work), and with numbers (which I also do all day at work lol). I'm stubborn and loyal and do not have a mean streak. That I am the same person at home as I am in social settings...blah blah blah. It was interesting! -Last weekend, we went out to Tyler's Disco Inferno show to celebrate our friend Jami and Donna's birthdays. We danced away (one of Keira's ECE's from daycare came out too!) and i...

-Garett went on his first friend play date ever , and he had so much fun. It was his two best friends that left daycare to start school last year. -happy that while Garett was at his play date, Tyler was home with Keira and I went out for a bit alone, then came home and we finished The Belko Experiment movie before I went to get him. (He was there for two hours) -sad that this week, Garett only has four days left at daycare :( Friday is Keira's first day, while I keep g home with me. Can't believe it's already almost school time!! -as a "goodbye" gift from g, we bought his daycare provider a necklace from peoples that is a heart with some Garnet stones in it (Garett's birthstone), to remember him by, and I ordered an Aukey essential oils diffuser , a doTERRA starter kit and an essential oils mixing guide recipe book thing. Hopefully she likes it. -Keira adapted SO well to putting herself down for her nap. She's down to one a day, and I just give...

Friday fun!

Thank God it's Friday, and that this week is O-V-E-R!!! -It was a stressful week at home. Looking forward to a fun weekend! -I am being audited for child care expenses in 2018--I'm not the only one that thinks we pay too much money in child care! LOL...I submitted my receipts online (they are catching up with the times and it's great!) and turns out I actually underclaimed by a few hundred dollars haha. -Tonight is calm, just hanging at home with the kids. -Saturday I have an eyelash appointment at 2:00, and then we have a sitter coming at 6:00 so we can go to a Wine & Cheese night up the road at our friends house. -Sunday is a day of rest until the evening when Shan comes over and we head into town to go to the Trailer Park Boys Christmas at the NAC (I bought Tyler and I tickets as an early Christmas gift). We are sitting pretty close, so I hope we don't get any of their nasty sweat on us lol -Monday I am off since the TPB thing only starts at 8PM, I didn...
