Week 20

How far along: 20 weeks 1 day

Total Weight Gain: 10 pounds

Maternity Clothes: Yes, and getting creative with regular clothes. A sweet friend gave me some clothes that were too big for her and I was able to get into them. I forgot how nice it is to button your pants instead of wearing the stretchy stuff... They don't fall down nearly as much! Putting belts around regular shirts that are a little big is great since it gives some separation between boobs and belly and gives back somewhat of a shape.

Best Moment this Week: Tasted a Shamrock Shake for the first time.... it's pretty awesome.

Movement: She's definitely moving and kicking. When we play music on my belly she moves a lot. So far, she likes Whitney Houston and Harry Connick, Jr.

Food Cravings: Still wanting sweets for the most part.

Symptoms: Heartburn, hair growing faster and in more places, and emotional

Feelings: I'm officially half way done and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Excited that I'm that much closer to meeting my sweet baby, sad that I don't get to feel all her little movements anymore, and nervous about actually having a baby. I am feeling alot better about how my body is changing. The transition from pre-pregnancy to having a cute bump just feels gross. This is the first week I've felt like I have a cute baby bump to show off.

Size of Baby to Fruit Comparison: about as long as a banana, 7 inches, and weighs 11 oz.
