Pregnancy Update - 20 weeks - Halfway

How Far Along: Twenty weeks - so crazy to think that I am halfway through this pregnancy! It is flying by!

Size of Baby: The size of a banana. He measured 13 ounces at the ultrasound today.

Total Weight Gained: 8 pounds.

Maternity Clothes: I'm not in maternity clothes yet, but I am enjoying wearing dresses that have made me look pregnant before. Now, I have no reason not to wear them. I am also rocking my exercise stretchy pants.

Gender: BOY - still searching for a name. It's hard when the kids now have an opinion on the name. So now I have to get approval from 3 instead of just Tieg.

Movement: I feel him in the morning and before bed at night. I am starting to feel him more during the day. Tieg is now able to feel his movements which is so cool to share with him. Both of the kids got to feel baby boy move today! I loved seeing their eyes light up when they felt him move.


Sleep: Still not sleeping great. Had to bring out the ole body pillow to get comfortable at night.

Cravings: Pickels and Chicken sandwiches

Symptoms: Starting to have pretty painful back pain. :( The doctor said that it was a joint stretching. Not much I can do for it. Other than that, I'm feeling great!

We took the kids with us to this week's ultrasound. The enjoyed seeing baby brother on the screen!
