{20 week BUMPdate}

Yay!!! I'm at the half-way point! The last 20 weeks have flown by!! I'm feeling much better, nausea has passed and my appetite has tripled! 

How Far Along? 20 weeks 

Size of Baby: 10 inches, 10.5 oz. (The size of an Endive)

Gender: Boy :)

Weight Gain: I have gained about 10 lbs. I can definitely tell that my belly has gone through a growth spurt!

Maternity Clothes: I pretty much live in yoga pants and t-shirts. When I actually wear real clothes...I usually wear my pre-pregnancy clothes with a few maternity shirts in the mix!

Nursery: No clue. :) I have been pinning some ideas but I can't make my mind up!

   

Movement: Starting to feel a lot more movement. It's still small enough that I am the only one that can feel it but I'm loving it!

Symptoms: Achiness in my lower stomach, a lot of potty breaks during the night, exhaustion at times, and hungry all the time! 

Sleep: I sleep okay these days....I do wake up a few times a night to go to the bathroom but other than that I sleep pretty well.

Cravings: Hummus, black beans and pickles!

What I Miss: Working out regularly and fitting into my normal clothes!!

Best Moment This Week: Starting to consistently feel movement and listening to my babies talk and sing to my belly!

Looking forward to: Working out! I did a couple prenatal Pilates workouts last week and I'm hoping to start adding much more of that into my week!

So tell me.....

What are your pregnancy must haves??

Cravings when you were preggo??

What are your newborn must-haves?? 

{18 week BUMPdate}

Happy Tuesday Everyone!! I am officially 18 weeks and starting to finally feel close to normal now. Well maybe not close but as close as I am going to get! I have actually started cooking again and eating most of my "normal" foods!

I still haven't been great about adding exercise into my routine. Leisurely walking, chasing the kids, cleaning the house like a crazy person (since it is on the market) has basically been enough exercise to keep me extremely busy these days. I plan on adding in yoga routines to the mix asap!

Yesterday was a big day for us! We had the anatomy ultrasound and found out the sex of our baby!!!
I am proud to announce that we will be having a sweet baby boy this August!! I couldn't be more excited. I used to think that I would have all girls because I was way too prissy to handle a baby boy! I was so wrong!! I love baby boys!! I had no blue how much they can melt their Mama's heart!

How Far Along? 18 weeks

Size of Baby: They measured yesterday and he was 8 ounces!!

Gender: It's a BOY!!! :)

Weight Gain: I have gained about 9 lbs. so far. I think that is a pretty healthy amount at this point. Now that the nausea has passed....I have finding it much easier to eat the healthy foods that I love! 

Maternity Clothes: I did buy a few maternity shirts from H&M. I love them. I still don't have any maternity jeans that I love. I am kind of hoping I can make due with some of my pre-pregnancy jeans until it is dress weather!

Nursery: No clue. :)

   

Movement: I have felt a few small movements but no big movements yet! I am looking forward to that!

Symptoms: Heartburn....so much heartburn!! Plus I have been really tired lately. Some days I seem to have decent energy but I have been napping quite a bit and I am NOT a nap person! I am exhausted!

Sleep: I sleep okay these days....I do wake up a few times a night to go to the bathroom but other than that I sleep pretty well.

Cravings: Frozen yogurt! Really any kind of ice cream or Popsicle! 

What I Miss: Working out regularly and fitting into my normal clothes!!

Best Moment This Week: Finding out the sex of our baby yesterday and sharing it with my babies and my family!! 

Looking forward to: Feeling some movement! :)
