How far along?
20 weeks- halfway point!!!
Total weight gain:
+5.2 lbs total
Measurements:
Added 3 inches to my waist and 2.5 inches to my hips
Measurements:
Added 3 inches to my waist and 2.5 inches to my hips
Maternity clothes?
I finally received my belly button band in the mail (that I ordered in July). It was from a free promotion and I just had to pay shipping. I will probably start using that soon! It basically just allows me to keep my currents pants unbuttoned and unzipped and covers it, and I unbutton my pants a lot now.
Sleep:
Getting up once a night but sleeping well! I just feel exhausted when I wake up though.
Best moment this week:
Realizing that I am halfway done with my pregnancy and only 20 weeks away from meeting our sweet baby!
Miss Anything?
Sometimes I miss coffee in the mornings- mostly for the caffeine when I am so tired waking up! I also miss eating sandwiches (heating up the lunchmeat just isn't the same to me so I've avoided lunch meat for the most part).
Movement:
Movement:
I can still feel her from the outside sometimes. I also have felt some small kicks pretty much every day now. I still have to be laying still to feel them or sometimes I'll feel them when I'm sitting in my chair at school. I also can tell where she is because of pressure I feel when she moves. I am not smart enough to tell you what she is pressing on though! I'm hoping the kicks will get stronger and more frequent soon! Also, Dan was able to feel them last night for the first time!! I could even see my stomach moving when she kicked. That was pretty cool.
Food cravings:
Berry Skittles
Anything making you queasy or sick:
Not sure what caused it one time this week
Gender:
Symptoms:
Stuffy/runny nose, bloated, and tired! I threw up Monday night for some reason. It was so odd because I haven't been sick for so long! Hopefully that was a one time thing and won't be starting to happen all over again. Overall though, I feel great! By the nighttime, I'm still really bloated it seems so it's getting harder to just stand up and sit down real quick. It's almost uncomfortable to lean forward sometimes because I think things are starting to get crowded inside. I can only imagine how hard it will be in 10-15 weeks from now!
Over the past week, we bought a changing table and a crib!! We went to the furniture store on another base to check things out and decided to go ahead and buy the matching set. It also happened to be the last one and here, the motto is to buy it when you see it or you may never see it again! Dan set up the changing table and I love it! The crib was too big for the car so it was delivered on Tuesday. Something isn't quite right when he tries to screw in the top so that is still a work in progress. We also talked about switching our workout room with the nursery so that'll be quite the process moving the elliptical and Dan's clothes and everything over, but it would give her a bigger nursery to fit all the furniture and things we want. Good thing we still have plenty of time to figure that out!
At school, we are doing a secret pal thing for first quarter. My secret pal gave me these scentsy bars and a donut this week! It's so fun getting little gifts in my mailbox! School is going pretty well now. I was worried at the beginning because my class came in SO chatty from the start, but they have calmed down and learned the rules over the past month so I feel a lot better. We still have a few who will take some more time, but overall, I'm a much happier camper!
Dan is 1 weekend away from finishing the two grad classes he is taking right now. Then, he only has 2 more before he is DONE with his Master's!!! So exciting for him!
