Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 20 weeks
Size of baby: 13 oz (per ultrasound) and the size of a cantaloupe. Wowza!
Weight change: im living on the edge and have no idea...
Gender: verified by two sources bambino is a bambina - its a GIRL!!!!!
Movement: I've determined this week, yes! The past weeks every once in awhile (like every 3 days) I would feel a little something. Almost like a soft flick but never regular or strong enough to be certain. During my massage on Monday I figured the flicks MUST be her. They are getting stronger! I mostly feel them in my lower belly at night. Hopefully it won't be long before baby daddy can feel her, too! :)
Sleep: depends on the day. Some nights are fab! Others I wake up to pee & can't get back to bed. Last week i got up at 4 a.m. and did some sewing.
Symptoms: My feet & ankles have been swelling like mad.
What I miss: margaritas..... mmmmmm
Cravings: hot dogs with yummy fixings! So far haven't given in to the craving but Oktoberfest (brats!) Is next weekend. Yesss!
Aversions: mushrooms.
Innie or outie: innie. But def more shallow! Also my "flab divide" is almost gone making my belly into one big bump!
Favorite Moment This Week: being able to definitively feel bambina moving. So frkn cool! We got in the mail our family heirloom cradle. I was the first grandbaby to use it & most of my cousins have been in it, too. I'm so excited to carry on the tradition with great grandbaby!
Worst Moment This Week: ugh, names! I mean, dreaming is fun but it has also been quite torturous. It is only FOREVER! ! Haha
Looking Forward To: Seeing family this week! Everyone is so excited :) also passing our anatomy scan round 2. Round 1 was last week. Lil lady was covering her face with hands and would not move them! Going back for a redo to check everything off the a.o.k. list.
Daddy update: daddys in nesting mode, too! Its so cute to see him excited :) he likes to pat my belly & talk silly to bambina. "Did you just hear what you're mamma said??!" His new fav line is : 'this time next year....' <3
