Half way there! Well ya know if little miss actually decides to come at the 40 week mark. Although, she is measuring 2 whole weeks earlier. I have a feeling little miss is going to be another June baby.
Bump shots
{20 weeks}
{Woo mom your belly is getting big}
How far along? today I am 20 weeks and 1 day
Baby is the size of a(n): banana.
Food cravings/aversions: Burgers. Seriously, all I want is to go out and eat hamburgers. I don't know why but I love them. And I also want pineapple all the time. Maybe I should try a pineapple glazed hamburger. Get both those cravings satisfied in one meal.
Sleeping: Doing good right now. I wake up tossing and turning and making bathroom trips but its not too bad.
Milestones: We found out baby is a little miss! Could not be happier to be adding a lady to the mix! I honestly believed we would have all boys so it is fun to see that God wanted us to have a girl in this family. We even decided on her name, but its under lock and key for now and will probably always be on this blog. I can't wait to get some pink and tutu's in this house. Now to just decide on a perfectly girly room color

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: I've had a few people comment that they can't even tell I am pregnant when I am sitting down. Now I am not sure if I should take this as a compliment or an insult. Yes, I know they mean it nice but if you think about it then that means they just assume I am pudgy while sitting down. Not sure I like that assumption. In any case I definitely feel pregnant and already have the back pain to prove it. Although, I attribute most of that from picking LB up all day long and stopping him from head diving on my belly multiple times a day.
Differences this time around: I think the biggest difference this time is I am much happier. I love the role God has given me as a mother. I love raising my children. I love the miracle growing inside of me. Not that I didn't love LB growing inside of me but I had the stress of a job that wasn't my fit. I was constantly stressed out because I wasn't the image my boss wanted and as much as I tried to be who God was telling me to be he couldn't see that. Difference of opinion some might say. So in any case my last pregnancy was full of stress and this one isn't. Makes a huge difference on a person, being where God wants you to be and being joyful in that. I honestly love being a mom and a wife. I love the joy of seeing LB grow daily and being home when my hubby arrives from work. It is exactly where God wants me and I'm loving it.
Can you believe we are already at the half way point? It seems to be flying by this time around! (I am sure in a few months I will retract that statement). I am also still undecided on a VBAC but I am sure by the time of delivery I will know ;) Plus at this point little miss is butt down so if she stays that way the decision will be made and she most definitely will be a June baby.
You're looking fantastic! Totally know what you mean about not knowing whether to be insulted or not when people say they didn't notice you were pregnant. I got that a lot. I had a feeling they thought they were paying a compliment, but I took it to mean they thought I was normally fat... I'm glad you're happier and less stressed this time around :)
ReplyDeletePeople always want to comment on the belly. It's always too big or too small. I think you look perfect. Try to block them out :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so freakin' cute pregnant! And tiny. Girls will do that to you, should have guessed right based on that alone. HA! With MW I was stuffing a huge beach ball under my shirt and with Lo I had to wear tight shirts just to show off my bump. :) Can't wait to see what you do with the nursery...girls are just more fun to decorate for!
