20 Weeks - Happy Half Way Week!!

Twenty weeks...2-0...the half way point.  It happened.  I got the email that said "20 weeks...20 weeks to go!"  Holy smokes!!  We're officially on the downhill path.  Teehee!!  We're going to have a baby!  

Don't tell Jessica!  She's going to have a mini heart attack.  

Here's a little shot of the belly.  I don't really know why it looks so pointy.  He is moving pretty much all day every day!  He hasn't woken me up so that's always a bonus. 

But also here's my other new friend...

Yum.  Whatever - it sure does work!

How far along:  20 weeks

Total weight gain: +4.8lbs still

Maternity clothes: Yuppers!  Even my scrubs are starting to get tight.  Thank goodness for Janet and the business casual maternity clothes that are coming my way!!

Stretch marks: None

Sleep:  Still sleeping well.  Starting to think about getting up in the middle of the night to pee...that actually hasn't happened yet!

Best moment of this week: Watching Jessica's face when she feels the baby move.  It's the best sight in the whole world.  I can't believe how much more in love it makes me fall.  She's going to be an amazing mom.

What's new this week: The baby is about 10 1/2 ounces and 6 1/2 inches long - apparently that's the size of a banana!  He's swallowing amniotic fluid and making some meconium.  Keep that poopie inside until you're on the outside buddy!  I'm about to start gaining a pound a week or so - sounds like a generous guestimation to me.  Remember what the cranky midwife said - only 20 because I'm already a fatty!  Heart burn and indigestion may increase now...check!  Leg cramps may start to happen...check check!  Thankfully that's about it 

Miss anything: Some of my old clothes.  But I do like buying new clothes!

Movement: All the time - this man cub is wild!

Food cravings: Someone sent me a picture of watermelons today - jerk

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing this week

Have you started to show yet: Oh yeah!

Labor signs: None

Belly button in or out: It's an innie.  The other day, for the first time, I thought it may actually make it all the way to an outie.  I have been convinced it'll stay in the whole time.  It's kind of a cave

Wedding rings on or off: on 

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy.  Work is better so that always helps!

Looking forward to: More baby kicks!
