20 weeks! Half way!

We went for our 20 week Dr. Appt. on Tuesday. Baby Long is halfway baked in mommy's oven! Everything looked good and he is already a big boy. He weighs approx. 14 oz., only 2 more oz. until he is a whopping 1 pound! We really enjoyed the ultrasound this time. We were able to see all of his body parts and he even waved at us at one point. (at least it looked like a little wave!) 

Other big news since the last time I wrote is that the baby is KICKING! He really started to flip flop around about midway through 18 weeks. I can feel him at various times through the day. He really likes to bounce around 10:30 at night. Jacob was able to feel him too! The kicking is definitely my favorite part of pregnancy! It's so neat. Last night I felt him roll around! I love it!

My bump is finally starting to pop too. When I wear tight clothes you can really see him sticking out! I bought a new dress at Gabe's over the weekend and everyone was commenting on my cute baby bump at work. I'm happy to finally look pregnant and not just fat! =)  Here are my most recent pictures. 





How far along are you? 20 weeks  2 days

This week our baby can: Yawn, hiccup, and hear!

 New Developments: Baby fat is beginning to development.

How big is Baby? He weighs 14 oz! 

Weight Gain? 12 pounds total!

 Gender? BOY!

Maternity Clothes? Always maternity pants! I can still fit in my normal shirts. I've been wearing a lot of dresses lately. Cute and Comfy!

Stretch Marks? No, I am using Aveeno moisturizing lotion to hopefully prevent them. Dixie also got me some body butter that I like to use on my belly.
 
Sleep? This week I've been sleeping pretty good!

Symptoms at 16 weeks?
  • Hungry all the time!
  • Bigger bump!
  • Hormonal/Sensitive 

Movement? Yes! I can feel kicks all the time now!
Food Cravings?  Still Wendy's French fries and coke! Maybe chocolate chip cookies too?!

Labor Signs? nope
Belly Button in or out? inny

What I am looking forward to? Organizing the baby's closet and buying the crib! Hopefully we get to go next week after Jacob's board exams!

Best moment of the week? The best moment since the last time I wrote are the big kicks baby has blessed me with!
