20 week bumpdate

  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
