Let's start with an update from the ultrasound on Sept 20th. It was a scan of baby's entire anatomy to make sure everything looks healthy & normal & measures on track. They check for things like 4 valves in the heart, blood flow, 10 fingers, 10 toes, no cleft lip/palate. All sorts of stuff! And? Baby is completely healthy!!! YAY!! then the cherry to top of the healthy sundae? Finding out the sex...
How far along: 20 weeks.
How big is baby: the size of a cantaloupe. wow...that's big! No wonder I have to pee every 5 minutes!
Total weight gain: 5 healthy pounds; possibly more by now. I'm not updating weight on here except when I get the official weigh-in at the midwife checkups.
Diet/exercise: Diet's good. I really need to get back to running! BAD!
Maternity clothes: Is all I can wear, except around the house. I can still of course wear normal pj's & workout clothes.
Sleep: I'm sleeping. Well. Having crazy dreams though.
Best moment of the week: Finding out it's a little girl, duh! And Abby giving her baby sister kisses - kissing my belly!
Food cravings: apples & cinnamon, apple cider
Food aversions: Meat
Symptoms: Lots of stomach cramps probably due to gas.
Movement: Plenty of movement & can feel it from the outside now!
Gender: GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I’m looking forward to: Some adult time this weekend. Going to Leavenworth with 5 other couples for Oktoberfest & golf. Gotta soak up as much adult time while I still can get away for a weekend.
What I miss: Bloody freakin' mary's!
Next appt: Oct 11th
