How far along: 20 weeks, 1 day
Maternity clothes: Yep, I officially need them! I’m actually wearing my first pair of
maternity jeans in this picture! My
sweet friend Michelle let me borrow these since I haven’t gotten any yet, and
MAN are they comfy! I will definitely be
on the hunt for more J
Stretch marks: Nope, but I can feel my belly stretching
more and more. A wonderful client of
mine got me Shea butter with lavender in it for Christmas (such a doll!), and I
will try using that and maybe a few other things to keep my skin as soft and
moisturized as I can!
Sleep: Still really good!
Luckily I am already a side sleeper so it won’t be a problem having to
be stuck on my side for the next few months.
Best moment this week: I’d say it’s between getting some
maternity clothes (regular pants, including my workout pants, are just too
tight and hurt my belly, so it was nice to get some looser fitting ones) and
buying our baby’s first toy! I found the
cutest stuffed elephant (neutral colors since we don’t know the gender yet) and
could NOT resist getting it lol
Miss anything: Pregnancy-wise, no. But I sure miss our friends! We have gotten very close to a few other
couples in Hesston’s grad school cohort over the last year and a half, and 3 of
them are all starting their jobs now, and have moved to other parts of the
country (Chicago, Michigan, and Houston)…I already miss them dearly!
Morning sickness: Nope
Movement: Yay, finally I have!
It is getting more obvious when it’s the baby, and it’s so cool! Just tonight I felt something move in two
different spots of my belly, and it did it again a few seconds later! I can’t wait to feel more!!
Food cravings: Still wishing Logan had a Del Taco…probably
good they don’t lol. I do like Cream of
Wheat with bananas or scrambled eggs lately
Anything making you queasy or sick: Thankfully not…especially since I
work in a gym and that could have been a very bad thing haha
Have you started to show yet: Oh yes! It’s getting harder and harder to hide
it. At least I think I’m close to being
out of the awkward “just looking like I have a pooch” phase
Gender prediction: Well, things have kind of changed on
that front. I was shopping about a week
ago, and just wasn’t loving the girl stuff (probably cuz I was at Wal-Mart
lol), and I just liked the boy stuff more.
And I somewhat had an epiphany, where something was telling me it was a
boy! And I was actually really happy
about it! Our friend said their nurse
actually kept track of people’s gender predictions and how accurate they are,
and said that Dads are about 50/50 (basically the odds to begin with lol), but
Moms are actually right 75% of the time! Hesston still wants a girl, but I
guess we will see!! I still will be
happy either way J
Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out: In
Wedding rings on or off: On, and thankfully still plenty loose
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy (and getting more excited)
Looking forward to: Finally knowing the gender! Appointment is tomorrow morning!!
