Baby Boy: week 20


How far along: 20 weeks (well 20 weeks 3 days)

How big is the baby: according to my tracker he is the size of banana, at 10 1/2 ozs and 6 1/2 inches long.

Total weight gain: At my 20 week appointment I had finally stopped losing weight and started to gain some back. So in total I lost 8lbs and put back on 2 so far.

Sleep: I wish, I have to get up to pee every 3 hours then my hips are killing me and my back is hurting or I wake up because I am on my back and that wakes me up too.

Best moment of the week: Well feeling the little man move all around is so much fun but at the moment trying to pick out a name for this little one and finally getting down to 2 is a great feeling. Now we just have to figure out which one fits.

Food cravings: Well for some reason I really wanted just plain vanilla ice cream the other night and I ate almost the entire pint of it. Man it was good and vanilla was always one of my least favorite flavors

Food aversions: Still chicken, mushrooms and anything with a strange texture.

Symptoms: I'm having some super fun round ligament pains. Mainly at night which is super fun and when I stand up too fast, and of course all the usual heartburn, back pain, headaches.

Gender: It's a BOY. I was so super surprised I was so sure he was a she, it took a few days to sink in and now I am getting nervous about dealing with a boy since I have no clue what I am doing.

What I'm looking forward too: I'm excited to get all of his room ready and order all of his furniture.

What I miss: Being able to sleep on my back, that was always how I slept the best and I'm having a hard time adjusting to staying on my side.

Next appointment: June 12th
