My Pregnancy Journal: Week 20


20 weeks in. This is what is happening with My Little Loodle:

Baby is the size of a Banana!
Baby weighs about 10.2 ounces and measures about 6.5 inches.  Baby has got working taste buds and are now gulping down several ounces of amniotic fluid each day -- that's significantly more than before.



My Symptoms: Back pain and some leg cramping. I get hungrier a lot easier now. I sometimes get shortness of breath and feel faint, but that's occasionally. 

Maternity clothes?  Yes, as well as sweatpants and sweatshirts.

Sleep? I sleep a lot and get up to use the bathroom a lot. It's routine now :P

Best moment last week? Scheduling the ultrasound. January 11th!

Movement? Baby is vey active. Paul can feel the baby kicking and every time I lay down or sit for a long time, baby cant stay still.

Weight Gain: I have gained 7 pounds. I am now 152 lbs. and I'll only get heavier.

Cravings: No cravings that I know of this week.

Food Aversions: Tomato soup, cilantro, spicy things, and spaghetti.

What made me cry this week: I haven't cried in a long time... yikes.

Medical Stuff: Baby is healthy and has a heart rate of 140-143/bpm. We have scheduled the ultrasound and are so excited for the news!

Something I am excited about: Friday!! That is when I will be packing and getting all set to go to Colorado for Christmas! Lots of pictures will be taken! :)
