20 weeks pregnant

How far along? “Ooooooooooohhh Halfway there! Woah, livin’ on a prayer!”

Baby is the size of: I get tired of this food garbage.. baby is about 10 1/2 inches long from head to heel

Total weight gain: Still not sure. I am trying to not step on the scale too much this time..

Maternity clothes? maternity pants and a few maternity shirts

Stretch marks? My sister suggested I remove this.. I think she is right. I couldn’t possibly count how many I have to know if I get more!

Sleep: junk

Worst moment this week: A well-meaning person at church telling me that I should not be carrying my child around.. and a cranky pregnant self wanting to scream when people are bossy to pregnant ladies.

Best moment this week: We ordered the glider rocker, Chloe’s homeschool curriculum, and a “big-ger girl” booster seat for Chloe. I feel really accomplished and am actually checking things off of my mile long to-do list.

Miss anything? Not having to check how much caffeine I am consuming. I have a three-year-old, two-year-old, sleep horribly and am pregnant. How is it fair to tell me that I can’t have my usual pot of coffee a day!

Movement: Baby moves all the time. She is punching and kicking down, which explains why I told Scott that it seemed odd that all of my movement was so low.

Food cravings: nothing really.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Heartburn is rearing its nasty head, and mama is not a fan of sitting upright in bed to keep from feeling like my insides are on fire.

Gender: GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Labor signs: nothing

Symptoms: Well, the giant stomach is a dead giveaway.

Belly button in or out? still in, but I think I may have an outie by the end of this one.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: happy

Looking forward to: Getting the walls put into the babies room so that I can actually start setting things up. Also, picking a darn name. I won’t be sharing, but I really have no clue what to name this poor baby girl.
