In Every Season: 20 Weeks-- Halfway There!

We're halfway there! This pregnancy is flying by & before we know it our sweet baby will be here! This month will especially be an exciting month that will surely go by quickly. Matt and I found out the baby's gender last week & we will be visiting family in Indiana next weekend for our big "gender reveal." This weekend we will be taking a quick "Babymoon" (even though Italy was truly our babymoon) to the beach this weekend. We got to thinking that it might be nice for us to do a short getaway to the beach before the next time we go & will have a little one to watch after. We have also declared this our super early, 3 year anniversary celebration-- since I will be huge in December, the beach will be colder, and the holidays make things too busy to really celebrate then anyway. There is so much to look forward to these next couple of weeks :)

Now for the 20 Week Bumpdate-- with pics from both 19 & 20 weeks:

How far along? 20 Weeks

Baby Size: Approximately 5.6 inches or the size of a sweet potato!

Total weight gain: about 11.5-12ish lbs. I have only gained 1.5-2 lbs. in one month--finally evened out from my early weight gain! Yay! Hoping I stay on track now.

Maternity clothes? Still just maternity pants-- I can still get by with my normal skirts, dresses, and shirts.

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Pretty good for the most part. Still need to get that pillow soon!

Recap of last week: We hosted a wedding shower for a couple in our small group & had a wonderful evening with great friends! We found out baby's gender (won't reveal to the world until after gender reveal with family on Oct. 18th)!!!! We also went to Skytop Orchard to pick apples & eat my favorite donuts ever-- Apple Cider Donuts. We celebrated Matt's birthday a couple weeks early at the Oktoberfest, which is what he requested we do as his birthday gift/celebration this year.

Miss Anything? Not really. I can't think of anything this week.

Movement: Yes! Matt has been able to feel the little kicks, which really only feel like a muscle twitch from the outside-- but they're getting stronger each & every week! Baby is growing & getting so much stronger :)

Food cravings: Sweets of all kinds & still loving my fresh fruit. An occasional salty treat (popcorn or chips/guac) sounds good too! I'm not so sure I'm really craving one versus the other, but definitely crave sweets more in pregnancy than I did before.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Gender: It's a......Healthy Baby!

Labor Signs: No.

Symptoms: Growing Belly, Movement/Flutters, Indigestion, Round Ligament Pain, & Dry/Itchy Eyes

Belly Button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Mood: Happy for the most part! Can be somewhat emotional at times (thanks, hormones)!

Looking forward to: Beach trip with my hubby & of course the gender reveal party in Indiana!
