20 Weeks

How far along: 20 weeks (9/27/15)

Baby size: Head to heel, about 10 inches.  And 11 ounces (based on the ultrasound!).

Total weight gain: 9 pounds. 

Maternity clothes: Definitely wearing maternity pants!  I might even need a pair of maternity yoga pants since my "comfy" pants are getting tight.  And starting to wear more maternity shirts.  

Stretch marks: No new ones. 

Sleep: I sleep about 7.5 hours a night.  My energy seems to be back.  

Best moment this week: Finding out the gender of our sweet baby!

Miss anything? Not really.

Movement: I'm starting to feel more. It's still not super consistent, but my doctor said that's totally normal at this stage.  I've been surprised that I haven't felt more movement since everyone says you feel it earlier with your second baby, but he is so low, I think that might be why. 

Food cravings: Nothing this week.
Have you started to show yet? Yes! 

Gender: IT'S A BOY!!!!!

Labor signs: Nope!

Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!

It's a...

19 Weeks

How far along: 19 weeks (9/20/15)

Baby size: Head to heel, about 9.25 inches.  Head to rump, about 6 inches.  And 8.5 ounces.

Total weight gain: 9 pounds. 

Maternity clothes: Mostly pants.  Shirts are still a little big, but I'm wearing a mix of maternity and basic longer shirts, as you can see from this week's picture, my regular shirts are too short!  But since last time I was pregnant in the warm months and this time it's opposite, I need to get more maternity shirts!

Stretch marks: No new ones. 

Sleep: I sleep about 7.5 hours a night, but I could definitely go for more!  However, I don't feel like I need a nap every day anymore, so that has been nice.   

Best moment this week: More working on the nursery!  Going from a catch-all/office/storage room to a nursery is a lot of work, but we made a lot of progress this week!

Miss anything? Not really.

Movement: Definitely feeling more this week.  Still not something every day, but more days than not.  Baby K2 was super active the other night after I had pizza!  

Food cravings: Potato chips! :/

Have you started to show yet? Yes!  I feel like I popped a bit more this week!

Gender: Not sure yet, but we find out this week!

Labor signs: Nope!

Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Our ultrasound and finding out the gender of this baby!

Maternity clothes: Mostly pants.  Shirts are still a little big, but I'm wearing a mix of maternity and basic longer shirts.

Best moment this week: Nothing that really stands out ;) 

Miss anything? Not really.

Movement: A little more this week.  It's so sporadic though.  Some days I feel a few bumps, and other days I don't feel anything at all.  I wish it was more consistent though so I don't worry so much!

Belly button in or out? In

17 Weeks

Funny story about this week's picture...we took a much better one yesterday.  Then I woke up in the middle of the night thinking, "I remember writing an 8, not a 7".  Sure enough, I'd written 18 weeks!  So we had to retake the pictures today instead and I'm not dressed up for church ;) 

How far along: 17 weeks (9/6/15)

Baby size: Head to heel, about 7.75 inches.  Head to rump, about 5 inches.  And 5 ounces.

Total weight gain: 7 pounds.  I haven't gained any weight since my doctor's appointment 6 weeks ago.  However, because I started higher I don't need to gain as much so my OB isn't worried. 

Maternity clothes: Mostly pants.  Shirts are still a little big, but I'll start wearing them soon since my regular shirts are getting too short.  

Stretch marks: No new ones. 

Sleep: Still sleeping 7.5 or so hours at night, but not feeling well rested.  I could nap every day! 

Best moment this week: Feeling more movement!

Miss anything? My energy ;) 

Movement: Yes!  I felt 4 strong kicks "boom, boom, boom, boom" one day, and one so hard it made my hand move!  They're few and far between though.  It seems so odd that there is a baby in my womb that's almost 8 inches long and moving constantly, yet I rarely feel it. 

Food cravings: Not really, no aversions though either.

Have you started to show yet? Yes, a little bump

Gender: Not sure yet!

Labor signs: Nope!

Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Feeling more constant movement, and having Mike and Summer be able to feel the baby too!
