20 Weeks... Halfway, but not really!

    20 Weeks...whoo. I remember thinking when I was only 6 or 7 weeks about how nice it would be to be in the double digits (10+ weeks). Now that I am 20 weeks, I almost wish time would slow down. Of course I'm ready to see our baby and hold it and all that good stuff, but I'm not ready for this pregnancy to be over. I don't feel like I've really gotten to enjoy it yet.

   Most people consider 20 weeks halfway; however, I do not. I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks (a day or two before actually). I've  only known I was pregnant for 16 weeks, but I still have 20 left to go!? So you see, I'm not quite halfway. At 22 weeks I will have been pregnant for 18 weeks and at that point only have 18 more weeks to go! AhHH!

How Far Along: 20 Weeks
Size of Baby: A banana! Textbook says...10 inches, 10.5 ounces but this healthy baby is already 12+ ounces!
Total Weight Gained/Lost: +9, 1lb shy of what my start weight was with Rory.
Maternity Clothes: Yep
Movement: All the time, but more intensely in the evenings
Sleep: Great! Rory had fall break and one of my clinical days was cancelled, so I got to sleep in a few days this week and catch up on some much needed ZZzzs. Its been great!
What I miss: Running again :( The weather has cooled off and it sure would be nice to lace up my shoes and run out the front door.
Cravings: Chocolate and jelly (peach or strawberry)
Symptoms: Nothing new at all. I pee all the time. My headaches come and go. Heartburn hasn't been so bad this week, but it does drop in occasionally after dinner. My belly is getting even more firm and round. It doesn't flatten when I lay down anymore :( My cheeks are also filling in. Chubby chipmunk cheeks are here!
Highlights from this week: Seeing our sweet baby on the u/s. I can't stop looking at the pictures they gave us!
