20 wks - Half Way There!!

Wow, I can't believe I'm half way there!! 
I am filled with gratitude and love to all those who have been on this journey with us and for all your prayers.


Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 19w6d

Size of baby: Baby is the size of a cantaloupe at 20 wks.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I think 6 lbs (down two since 17 wks & cutting sweets and watching what I eat).

Maternity Clothes: Definitely maternity pants.

Gender: BOY!

Movement: None since I thought I felt him poke at 17 wks. I've been gently poking him, hoping he would poke or kick back, but I got nothing!  The dr said I should definitely feel it by 23 wks.  I hope he starts kicking before then! 

Sleep: Getting better at sleeping on my side, but occasionally still end up on my back.  And the bathroom breaks in the middle of the night are still going strong.
What I miss: Diet Coke and sweets!

Cravings: None, yet. But I can't stand scrambled eggs.

Symptons: Stressed with work and church responsibilities.  Hoping it will all slow down soon.

Best Moment this week: Seeing baby at our 20 wk scan and knowing that he is growing on target.

Yahooooo!!!! I'm so thrilled for you...each day that passes gets you guys closer to your destiny. Don't worry about the cravings or lack of cravings...a great doctor once told me that cravings is just a sign that your body is missing some sort of nutrients...so it's great that YOU are right on target and that the baby is getting everything that he needs! When I was pregnant with Ethan, I could not stand the smell of rice! Imagine that???!!!! An Asian not liking the smell of rice cooking :~) Have a great weekend!

Fantastic!! I think I started being convinced about the movements between 20 and 21 weeks, do you know if you have an anterior placenta? If so it will muffle the feelings for a little longer. Love, Fran

You look so adorable Hannah. I have been thinking about you a lot this weekend. Tonight I thought, "This time next year she will have a little baby boy to dress up." It made me excited and happy for you.

Katy said...
