20 weeks

"Woah, we're halfway there,  woah, livin' on a prayer. 
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear."

...Thanks Bon Jovi. 


So far I have gained around 9 pounds. 

I think a little bit of energy is starting to kick in! I haven't been dying to go to bed at 8:30pm. I also haven't been getting up at 6:00am so maybe that's part of it? 

No food cravings :( I guess that's a good thing, but I want fun cravings so I can say "Brendan go get me some Rocky Road ice cream with watermelon and walnuts on top!"

My belly button is trying hard to stay in. Not sure how much longer that will last!

Sleeping has become more difficult. Getting sore and stiff from sleeping on my side. And waking up to pee multiple times isn't helping the sleep!

This is the happiest I have ever been and things just keep getting better. 

I didn't blog last week, but 
here is the picture I posted:

Last week we had our first appointment with our new doctor in Frisco. It took a little persuading to get him to do the ultrasound but we were dying to find out the gender. Baby boy was twisting and punching and dancing around like crazy. 

This week we have a 3D scheduled to "make sure he has all of his parts"

...I'll let you know if anything is missing.

18 weeks

18 weeks!!


Last night I was reminded that the baby is due in 5 months! Whew! 

I've gained around 6 pounds so far. 
I'm starting to feel little flutters! At first I thought it was all mental, but baby is definitely moving in there.
Haven't really had any food aversions or cravings this week. 
Nothing has made me sick lately. I start my rotation at a nursing home Monday so I'm sure the queasiness will kick in. 

I'm really missing yoga lately. Yes, I can do some yoga, but I miss inversions and pushing my limits. 

FRIDAY. Friday we find out what this little gummy bear is and we couldn't be any more thrilled or anxious! I'm ready for these terrifying gender dreams to end :)
