Sleep: I've been using a pillow between my legs and I've been much more comfortable and able to sleep better. 

Best moment this week: Hearing his heartbeat at my doctor appointment.  Summer heard it too, but wasn't sure about it ;) Summer also got to feel the baby kick on Saturday.  Again, she wasn't so sure but was excited to tell Grandma about it and try again on Sunday. Oh, and another--we found a doula this week!

Movement: Starting on Thursday (20w4d) I really started feeling more consistent movement.  Now I've been feeling it daily.  It's still super low, but I'm accustomed to that now.  I've been trying to see if I can feel him kick on the outside yet, but every time I put my hand on my belly after feeling a kick, he is still!
