Week 20

This is reeeeallly overdue, as I am already mid week 21. Whatev.

·  Size of baby: He weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana.

·  Weight gain: 3 pounds. For a grand total of -5 pounds. I now weigh 117!

·  Symptoms experienced: Kickboxer like movement. Go little man go!

·  How I feel: Entering the most nerve wracking period from about 18-27 weeks. Where everything went wrong last time and we weren’t really warned or prepared. Now every time this baby is still or quite I freak out that he’s gone, or not growing like he’s supposed to, because we found out Max stopped growing weeks before he died. We had an appointment yesterday and I was a wreck of nerves before afraid she was going to say he’s not growing like he should. He is! He looked wonderful :)

·  What I've been craving: I still have my vanillachai everyday, but Pumpkin. Muffins, lattes, scones. mmmmm  

·  What I miss: What I now know was the ‘unstressed’ portion of the pregnancy before this. And sleeping on my stomach. I keep waking up on my back. Whoops.

·  Best moment: Seeing this little man yesterday, huge, wiggling, and grabbing his legs. And our Dr. told us if we get nervous to come on in and she can take a look for a minute to reassure me. I know she would anyway but she said it to us. I <3 her.

·  Items purchased: Maternity pants that look AWESOME. I want some for non-maternity because they are fitted and LONG ENOUGH and make my butt look nice. A challenge because first you have to find it. H&M maternity (who knew?!) is the BEST.
