How Many Weeks? 20 weeks and half way cooked!
Size of Baby? Baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now and is around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel – about the length of a large banana.
Showing? OHhhhh yes! I'm having fun watching people's eyes drop down to my belly in the office but people have been very polite and no one has asked/commented yet.
Symptoms? Feeling great! I still get tired more easily and have had random nights of heartburn but overall totally "normal" feeling.
Sleep? Sleeps been pretty wonderful and uninterrupted these days. I should probably get a new boyfriend pillow really soon though since my belly is actually out there now and I tend to sleep on my side but really more rolled over onto my belly.
Miss Anything? I had a pretty rough day last week and thought "man I wish I could have a cocktail right now". We also went brewery hopping for Mike's birthday this past weekend and the last stop we went to had this guava berliner weisse that smelt SO good! I look forward to going back there and having a glass myself next year.
Movement? This kid is a mover! I actually felt movement from the outside for the first time about a week ago but no one else has been able to yet (that whole, the second someone touches your belly the baby stops moving, thing). I can also almost always tell where it's head is since it's poking out more. However my placenta is posterior (flipped backwards) so there isn't much in the way to stifle the movements etc. (so says my doctor and every ultrasound tech we've seen)
Food Cravings? Random things will pop up that sounds good from time to time, but no real cravings. I do feel hungry a lot more often these days.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Still being a passenger in the car.
Gender Prediction? Nope
Recent Doctors Appointment? We've had a regular check-up and the anatomy-scan! Everything looks perfect with baby and it's measuring right where it should.
Best IP moment? I really love playing the baby the stories the parents have been sending over. I don't listen often - they are played through "belly buds" directly to the baby" - but I just think the process of them recording themselves and going through the trouble is so fun and sweet. And of course, getting to see them at appointments :)
Most asked question? Is it getting harder to stay disconnected now that the baby is moving? Answer - No. I mean, I care for this little nugget and I love getting to be the one to grow it, but nothing has changed in the way of any additional bonding. Especially now that I've been feeling pretty good overall I forget it's in there until I pass a mirror or it starts to move.
Nesting? I spent what felt like the entire day Sunday cleaning out and reorganizing all my sewing, crafting and party hosting supplies. Seems like it wouldn't be that much stuff but I have quite the collection going! Mike built a new wine storage/shelving unit to go above our wine fridge, which led to me cleaning out our big "china" cabinet, which led to me buying new bins and organizing all the above mentioned items to put into said cabinet so I can reorganize our linen closet that had been taken over by all that above crap. I think Mike caught me staring at the cabinet 100 times Sunday night to admire my work :)
