20 Weeks! Half Way There!


How far along: 20 Weeks!

Baby size: 6.5 inches long, 10 oz (about the size of an larger mango than last week :)
Weight gain: Yes. It is happening. Which is a good thing. At least I keep telling myself that...
Maternity clothes: Not yet but my skinny skinny jeans are off limits. Now I am in my larger pants which has been good but I should still go shopping probably this week or next.
Stretch marks: Not yet.
Sleep: I have been needing some morning power naps. I have also been waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom more often now, I just can't quite make it through the night. I am a little more sleepy these days but I am also not as exhausted as I was in the first trimester.
Gender: Wanting a boy and finding out this Friday what it will be. Daniel and I will both be surprised if it is a girl. We think of the baby as a he. And I wake up in the middle of the night and often have the name Branson Royal Barrick on my mind. I am pretty nervous about the gender reveal but I am excited to just know!
Best moment this week: I honestly love feeling the kicks right now. I can tell when the baby is active even if it is not giving harder kicks and punches. It is so fun right now because they are so small that they are not a pain and they don't keep me up but they are getting stronger. It is just such a fun reminder of the little one that is inside of me.
Looking forward to: Our ultrasound this Friday. Seriously I can't wait to see how big our baby is and to see it move up on the screen. I think it is going to be awesome!
What I miss: Honestly I miss when my pants would stay up. My jeans slide down to the bottom of my belly all the time and that is no good for modestly purposes. I am having to pull them up all the time.
Movement: Yes! It is active and so fun to feel.
Food cravings: I don't really have any cravings. I did make us go to Taco Bell this past week which was good. Refried beans are super yummy right now. I drink a lot of milk. I still love peanut-butter banana smoothies. I eat lots of frozen fruit snacks. I love cereal. 
Aversions: Not really.
Nursery: Once we find out if it is a boy or girl this week maybe I will start pinteresting like crazy!
Miscellaneous: Life is a little stressful with moving to Baltimore and not having a home yet and moving in the middle of the summer but I think this pregnancy will (hopefully) go by faster and faster since we will have so much to do and look forward to throughout the summer and since we will be really busy during those crazy weekends we will have to move.
