20 Weeks

Best moment this week:  Getting to see Russ.....and I will be able to see him for more than just a day since I was approved to ride the ship....hooray!!!  :)   

Sleep:  I am sleeping surprisingly well on the ship.....not sure why considering we are sharing a twin size bed.  I'm attributing it to being with my other half.   

Movement:  Random thumps and thuds still.   

Food cravings:  Still nothing in particular but I have been starting to want more sweets here lately (which is definitely a change from earlier on in the pregnancy).  I'm trying to be careful though because my gestational diabetes screen is coming up in a couple weeks.   

Gender:  Unknown; we're waiting to find out until baby's big debut!

What I miss:  Going to the bathroom less frequently.....I go through about a roll of toilet paper a day, haha.    

What I am looking forward to:  The rest of my time on the ship with Russ.....I feel like I have so much to share with him.  I had my anatomy scan the day before I got on the ship so I can't wait to share that experience with him, show him the ultrasound pictures, and let him hear baby's heartbeat on the fetal doppler!

Milestones:  A successful anatomy scan....baby looks healthy so far (see below).  

Baby Size:  small cantaloupe

Weekly Wisdom:  You can stretch the life of your regular jeans while pregnant by using a ponytail holder to "button" them.

  1. Craving sweets is an old wives' tale for girl, so that's my guess!! :)
