"Oh We're Half Way There"- 20 Weeks!


I can’t believe we are at the halfway point---WOW time flies!  The first trimester passed at snail’s pace, but the momentum is picking up & I can’t believe we are so close to meeting our precious Lily! 
Here we are at 20 Weeks :)


How Far Along? 20 weeks, 1 Day---7  inches (from head to rump) and 10 ounces
Size of the Baby? Large Banana
Maternity Clothes? Nope! Dresses, dresses, dresses J
Weight Gain: Holding steady--- around 8 lbs.
Stretch Marks? No, and I am crossing my fingers my routine continues to keep them far away!
Gender? All GIRL!!!!!
Movement? Kicks & flutters that Mommy can feel!  She is pretty active on and off, during the day, but tends to not move as much at night—I hope this schedule stays for the next 20 weeks J
Wedding Rings? On :)
Sleep? I aim to get between 7-9 hours every night.  However, I’ve been fighting a cold, so my sleep hasn’t been that great.  Waking up a couple times a night—usually one time is for my bladder.  Also, I started sleeping with a pillow between my legs, which has made the side sleeping much more tolerable.
Food Cravings? Nothing specific this week….however, I could still eat Mexican & Italian every meal!  And bring on the fruit J
What I Miss: Nothing this week- I'm enjoying being pregnant!
Symptoms? I have started experiencing sciatic nerve pain on my right side—oh joy L  Other than that, all other pregnancy symptoms are staying away!  No swelling or leg cramps…hope it stays this way! 
Belly Button? In :)
Best Moment of the Week? Getting a new car to bring Lily home in! J  We’ve been looking at getting a newer/bigger SUV for a couple of months now, so on Thursday, Mr. S went and pulled the trigger… he is already spoiling his baby girl J
