Baby H - Week 20!

my new favourite nursery find from Winners!

How far along: 

20 weeks as of  05/22/2015

How big is baby:

Banana! 6.5" and 10.2oz! She's starting to gulp down amniotic fluid and absorb the sugar from it. She's developing her white blood cells and immune system. Her tastebuds are almost functional!

Weight gain:

+4 total

Gender:

Girl! 

Symptoms:

More heartburn, less nausea (yay). My back has been more sore lately. Some dizziness if I sit up too fast. Getting hungry in the middle of the night which is weird and annoying. 

Sleep: 

Pretty good. Struggling to get comfortable some nights.

Food Cravings: 

Still some food making me icky but it's getting easier to eat. No specific cravings though. I did enjoy half of a chocolate mint fudge ice cream sandwich and didn't get sick so that was probably the high of the week lol

No regrets tho, and I have the other half for today!

Movement:  

Still pretty light but I can feel some thumps here and there, especially after I have a vitamin water. I think she's been rolling over more and that feels a little like my whole stomach is rolling over. It's so neat. I can't wait until I feel her more consistently as she gets bigger!

Belly Button: 

In.

Stretch Marks: 

I think I might be getting a few new ones! I'm not going to bother counting them, I already have so many it doesn't even matter lol

What I'm looking forward too:  

Steve's convocation is tomorrow! So thrilled to watch him walk the stage. I should be getting my degree soon too! I won't be participating in my convocation cos it's in October and I'll either have a newborn, be super uncomfortable or be crowning and I don't want to do any of those at the Jubilee ;)

And to get on some of my DIY projects for the nursery! I am working on laundry and cleaning up stuff in case I get a job for the rest of the summer, finishing what I can now!

Pregnancy Moment with Steve:

Well...this technically won't happen til tonight so I'll update how it went next week but I got Steve a birthday card from Ellie since today is his birthday!

Last night Steve was talking about something and he said "our daughter" and then he got really excited, it was the first time he'd referred to her as our daughter and he kept saying how good it felt. He is so excited about having a little girl!
