20 Weeks

How far along: 20 Weeks

Total weight gain: 7 lbs. - Wahooooo!!! 

Maternity clothes: Nope, not yet!

Stretch marks: Nope!

Sleep: Pretty good most nights. Just waking up to use the restroom every hour, lol.

Best moment of this week: Having her 20 week ultrasound and seeing her wiggle around. The UT said she was very well behaved and she was able to get all the measurements she needed without any trouble. She was moving her mouth and squirming around the whole time It as so amazing...even to watch her kick my bladder relentlessly! But the best news of all is that she is right on target and perfectly growing!

Miss anything:  Not having to use the restroom every 2 min., lol

Movement: No:( The Dr. and UT say that I have an anterior placenta. It is acting like a pillow between her and the front of my stomach so when she kicks, I feel nothing. They said the placenta may eventually move or when she grows large enough that the kicks are much stronger, I may feel her then... but until then I don't need to worry that Im not feeling her. 

Food cravings: Nothing in particular. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Very rarely anymore thankfully!

Best moment of this week: Diana came home! Two of my dearest friends had to move to Brazil for a few months due to a family illness. (Please keep their family in your prayers) One of them is from Brazil but his wife is not. So after 2 months she decided to let him finish out the month helping his parents while she came and got life going in the states again.  She told only me that she was coming and I picked her up the day before Halloween. On Halloween I told all of our friends I wanted to have a Halloween gathering so they all came over and we surprised them with the fact that Diana was back a little early. It was so wonderful to have her home but we still wont be complete until Max gets home in Dec.! 

Miss anything:  Still nothing that I can think of.

Movement: Still nothing...not even a flutter!

Food cravings: Nothing really. Still prefer to eat a good ol' meat and three but I don't necessarily 'crave' it. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not anything specific. I still feel queasy on occasion but nothing specific sets it off.
