20 weeks...Half way there!

We are officially half way through this journey! I feel like the more recent weeks have flown by. I want to cherish each and every second of this pregnancy, but I also cannot wait until this sweet baby is here in our arms.

I keep hearing that pregnant women have crazy dreams. This is not the case for me. I've had two somewhat odd dreams. The first was that I was at my baby shower and the only foods being served were sushi and deli sandwiches. Two things that I cannot eat and have been craving, haha. The other dream was that my favorite burger place, In-N-Out, was going out of business. Apparently I am very concerned with food lately.

 I am still pretty tired most of the time, but my appetite is back and I've been loving being able to finally eat full meals. I had my first "stranger comment", a sales girl at Ulta complimented my belly and asked when I was due. I guess that means that I am finally rounding out and not looking like I'm sporting a beer belly, that makes me happy!


20 Week Stats!
How far along? 20weeks!
How big is baby? The size of a cantaloupe!
Total weight gain/loss: I have gained 4 pounds.
Maternity clothes? I am preferring the maternity jeans over regular ones. I am still able to wear most of my regular shirts and sweaters, I have a feeling this will change soon.
Sleep: I have been sleeping more comfortably now that I have the Boppy. I wake still wake up 3-4 times each night, and some nights it's nearly impossible for me to fall back asleep.
Best moment this week: Continuing to feel more and more movement.
Movement:Definitely! I am loving being able to feel him or her dance around. (even if it's at night while I am trying to sleep, haha)
Food cravings: I've been craving a lot of chocolate. This is odd because I'm not typically a chocolate kind of person.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not recently, thank God.
Have you started to show yet: Yep!
Gender prediction: I still feel like it's a boy. 3 days and we'll hopefully know.
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In, I think it may be time to take my piercing out though.
Symptoms: Some hip and back pain due to my body making room for the baby. 
What I’m looking forward to: The appointment on Monday. Tye and I are so anxious!
 What I miss: Still missing sushi and regular sleep.
Milestones: Half way there!

Happy 11.11.11!!
