20 Weeks- GENDER WEEK!

Q1-13 is the size of a Mango this week!  This is also the halfway point, and the week we find out the gender.  Yippee!!!!  

How far along? 20 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 7 lbs
Maternity clothes? Oh yes.  Can't wear ANY of my old pants.  Bought my first pair of maternity jeans (skinny maternity jeans!), and a bunch of stretchy tops, and a pair of maternity style dress pants.  Plus a Belly Band for all my current pairs of pants. 
Stretch marks? No, but I bought some cocoa butter tonight to put on! 

Can you see your toes? Yes, but it's getting close!   

Sleep:  Is lacking these days :(  Hard to stay comfy all night!  

Best moment this week: Making our baby registry at Target the other night!  Plus, getting baby gear hand-me-downs from our stellar neighbors. Also, exciting moment this weekend was finding all these awesome maternity places in Columbus :)
Miss Anything? Pumpkin Spice Latte! 
Movement: Yes!!! See above. I'm getting to the point that I can start feeling it move while I'm up and about too!

Still running?  Yes.  The cool weather is making it easy, but my newest thing is this HORRIBLE urge to pee which begins about 2 minutes after I start running, and goes away the instant my run is over.  It's like the baby moves over my bladder when I run!  Once my run is over, it's like I never had to pee in the first place. Weird! 
Food cravings: Cheeseburgers, but not as intensely.  This week there was a day where I just HAD to have Doritos with guacamole. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: the apple I ate at lunch today. 
Have you started to show yet: Definitely.  I'm starting to really look pregnant and not just like I have a pouch. 
Gender prediction: I'm still hoping boy. We find out TOMORROW! 
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I've sadly been going through some really mean moods.  There are days when I am so mean and nasty that I don't recognize myself. It makes me sad.  Sorry to people who have to live and work with me!  
Weekly Wisdom: A neighbor friend just recommended all kinds of stuff to add to our registry, including skipping the bassinet and getting one of those rocking bed thingys.  I'll have to look up what they are called....they have them at Target!  
Looking forward to: APPOINTMENT TOMORROW!!!!  And our Gender Reveal Party on October 6th!  



Gifts from 2 of my students this morning.  They are so sweet!  :)
