Ohhhhhh, we're half way there. Ohhhh OH, living on a prayer. And all the fellow Fiji wives, said amen. (This song is played at every single Fiji wedding complete with a dance..And it has been stuck in my head since Saturday!)
Well I said this little guy would be lucky to get 5 Hump Day, Bump Days... but now I'm thinking more like 3!Ooops. Second kid is so different. Everything is a blur. Someone asks you how far along you are and you're like uhhhh. However with the first you were like 13 weeks, 4 days, and 6 hours, haha! With the first you are constantly worrying about every ache, pain and symptom.. and with the second you are either too tired or too busy chasing the first around to even care. But that's not to say we don't love you little one, and think about you every single day! So here is a little bit about how things are lately..
How far along? 20 weeks, 3 days
Baby's size? 6.5 inches, like a big sweet potato!
Milestone? HALF WAY THERE! We had our anatomy scan two weeks ago (pic above), and most everything checked out perfectly! So, so thankful.
Maternity clothes? I live in the same two pair of leggings and three shirts over and over and over. SO ready for warmer weather so I can wear something new! I refuse to buy any more cold weather things..
Stretch marks? Ugh yes.. I don't think they popped out until like 32 weeks last time. Whatever..
Sleep? Some good nights.. some bad. Always wake up at least once or twice. Have to have an extra pillow between my legs or my pregnancy pillow to get comfortable.
Symptoms? For the most part feeling good. Today I feel awful for the first time in forever, because I did SO MUCH yesterday. Whenever I push it too hard, I can always feel it the next day. Insane indigestion that has gotten so much better with a daily prevacid in stead of taking 15+ tums, ha.
Best moment this week? Prob should change the question to best moment this trimester since I'm doing these so infrequently, ha. But seeing our little guy on his anatomy scan, hearing that heart beat, so so in love.
Miss Anything? Fancy cocktails on date night.. sushi..
Movement? ALL the time. I felt him around week 13/14. And now AJ can feel him from the outside too. Not a crazy wiggle worm like Maddie Jane, but he does loooove to burrow down into my pelvis, ow.
Food cravings? gummy bears, fruit, and cannot get enough water. SO THIRSTY.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Still team no meat. I will occasionally eat like tacos with meat or a fried chicken sandwich.. but mostly fruit and carbs for me.
Have you started to show yet? Oh yes. Big basketball belly like I had with Maddie Jane. My pictures from MJ and this guy at 20 weeks are almost identical. But with MJ I had gained like 15+ pounds by now, with him only 2.. And started at the same weight. The body is a weird thing.
Gender? BOY!
Labor Signs? heck no
Belly Button in or out? It's getting super flat. Much quicker this time around.
Wedding rings on or off? On. Actually falling off. I still have on my wedding ring, but had to take my Yurman ring, that I wear every day, off for good because I had to many scares with it falling off.
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy.. but tired. Oh, and cried my eyes out (like snot running down your face crying) watching A Star is Born, ha.
Looking forward to? SUMMER! Our neighborhood pool opening, my baby "sprinkles", getting his nursery complete, and finally getting him in my arms and smelling that sweet baby smell, ahhh
