Bumpdate: Week 20

A good picture didnt exist this week. This was as good as it got. 

How far along? 20 weeks 

Total weight gain: 16 lbs

Maternity clothes? So Im starting to outgrow some of those clothes too haha. My girls have gotten just a bit too big to handle the cute tie back shirts. But I make some things work. I have taken to wearing some of my favorite button down shirts open over cute tighter tops and that is working out nicely. It has gotten cold here this week, so I am also rocking my favorite bump shirts with jackets over them too. Im a fan of being preggo in the cold weather. Im a very big fan.

Sleep: I havent been sleeping well this week at all. I just cant get comfy and every time I finally do, I wake up within an hour having to pee. So Im not a fan of the night hours this week. But I have been trying to make sure I do a lot of laying down and relaxing this week to make up for the lack of sleep. Today I was just sick of trying so I got up with Nic and just stayed up. 
New this week: Feeling kicks from the outside. They are subtle and not really noticeable unless you have your hand on my belly, which, is pretty much only allowed if your my mom or Nic haha, but its pretty cute. Hes feisty. And I like it. 

Best moment this week: He kicked Nic in the face! Nic likes to have conversations with my stomach. Things about how crazy I am and that he is the brilliant parent and that he will be completely responsible for teaching him all the awesome things in life and one day this week he was talking with little Merv and he decided to zurbert him, and Merv said heck no techno and kicked him right in the face. It was pretty awesome. 

Miss Anything? Sleep in general. I love sleeping and it doesnt happen anymore. And being able to bend down and pick things up off the floor. It doesnt happen anymore either.

Food cravings: Still Mangos. In any form. And anything sweet. I have really been the opposite of the old wives tale with this little man. I never crave salty, I really only crave sweet. Anything sweet. Ice cream is the biggest one. And hot chocolate, which I dont drink often at all. I had a cup last night and thats the only cup Ive had. But it tasted like Christmas and just made me so excited for the Holidays. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Waiting too long to eat. Im trying to make sure that I dont gain excess weight so Im trying not eat as often as I had been when I had morning sickness some kind of horrible. But if I wait a little too long I feel nasty. 

Wedding rings on or off? On! 

Looking forward to: My brother is home!!! He hasnt seen me or Merv since the week that I found out I was pregnant, so Im really excited that he will be here for a little while and get to share this part of the journey with us. 

And thats the bumpdate!
