Last Thursday we had a few appointments including a long ultrasound where the technician measures different parts of the baby to make sure it's growing right on track. They also look for certain things like defects in the heart and spine. All looks great :) The ultrasound technician is not allowed to give us an information so I'm not sure what size the baby is right now. We are waiting to hear from our doctor after he views the results.
We also got to find out the gender and we are having A GIRL!!! we are super excited. Baby girl is going to be one spoiled little girl :) Our neighbor came by on Friday with a bag full of clothes that her and her daughter had gone and picked out. THANK YOU Ingrida & Marion.
How far along? 20 weeks, we are at the HALFWAY mark…YIKES!! This seems to be going by so fast.
Baby's size? Per thebump.com……Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had via amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you'd like your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.

Doctors Appt? None, had 3 appointments last week which included finding out the gender :)Weight Gain? 7 lbs.
Stretch marks? No
Belly button in or out? Still in
Maternity Clothes? A combination. I can still fit into most of my clothes and although I can fit into my pants they kind of hit me right where my belly sticks out so they can get uncomfortable. A friend of the family was kind enough to let me borrow quite a bit of her maternity clothes and I’ve been wearing those pants and wearing quite a bit of my leggings.
Sleep? Had a few great days where I didn’t get up so much to go to the bathroom and but the last few days have been bad and I’m up 4-5 times a not. NOT FUN!
Foods I am loving? Back to enjoying most foods.
Foods I am hating? None
What I miss? Being able to go like an energizer bunny. I get super tired and winded very easily.
What I'm looking forward to? Finalizing the babies name.
