Week 20... halfway point :)

Wow... I can't believe our pregnancy is half-way over! It's so crazy to think we our 50% done with this journey. Ok so in honor of the halfway mark I am going to show you my bare belly. Brace yourself!

Week 20-bare belly shot

and here is a non-bare shot ;)


Wade has been so sweet lately. And has told me my baby bump is beautiful and that I am such a hot pregnant woman! I'm sure most hubby's say that kind of stuff but it really makes me feel good especially now as my waist is fading and my weight is increasing :) Here is a picture of Wade joining in the fun to make me feel better about showing my belly to y'all every week:

haha.... I love this man!!! He may kill me for putting it up on here but seriously, how funny is that?  He is so good at making me laugh and reminding me of the beautiful gift God has put inside me.

How far along? today I am 20 weeks and 6 days



Baby is the size of a(n): cantaloupe


Changes in me: The biggest change I've noticed this week is that my hips will randomly hurt. I think they call that round ligament pains, whatever its called it doesn't feel pleasant.

Food cravings/aversions: still oranges but I have also been loving cinnamon life cereal :)

Sleeping: now that I bought a pregnancy pillow it has been great! I didn't know a pillow could make such a difference in how you sleep but it has been wonderful. Although I am still waking up a few times a night on my back but not as often as before the pillow.

Milestones: baby has begun to swallow and use his digestive system. No wonder I am so hungry all the time ;)

Babies activity: He is definitely a mover and shaker. I feel him kickin my belly all the time. Especially when I am sitting on the computer or get excited about something. Whenever Wade comes home baby boy jumps inside me and gives me a kick. Too bad Wade can't feel these kicks yet but I am kind of nervous for the day his kicks are hard enough for others to feel since he is already a stong kicker.


Weird things I read online: that I may start snoring now. They say that most pregnant women begin to snore at this point in their pregnancy even if they never have before. Weird.

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: Well I don't know if this is interesting but I now weigh the same as Wade. I told him he needs to start eating butter and candy bars to pack on the pounds so he stays ahead of me throughout the pregnancy. I don't think he is going to agree to this but I think it is a great idea :)

So there you have it my weekly recap! Next week's is going to be super exciting cause we have our ultrasound again and I will be posting picture overload :)

  2. I'm so cracking up at your Hubby! That is too funny, and one you'll have to proudly show your children one day. ;) Yay for 20 weeks! The last 20 seem to go by much faster. I'm getting more and more ready to start trying again, my little one needs a brother/sister!
    As for that hip pain, YES, it hurt! I struggled with it, but hopefully yours will be short lived.
