20 weeks! Loading - 50%!

How far along: 20 Weeks

Total Weight Gained/Lost: 4 lbs - according to my doctor. Apparently I weighed less at my first appt than I thought! She was really pleased with this number though! :)

Sleep: Sleep is pretty good.  Sometimes my back hurts, but I think that's a work/preggo combo!

Best Moment of the Week(s): Our 20 week scan was fantastic!  Our tech took his time, and he showed us so many things.  No abnormalities were found!  She had a nice, steady heartbeat, measured about four days earlier than we thought, and was in the 67 percentile for size!  According to her measurements, she could be due on Halloween!  Give or take whenever she wants to show up! :)

Movement: I keep waiting for that first true kick, but I think I've been feeling flutters now!

Food Cravings: Pizza...popsicles.

Food Aversions: Nope, nada.

Morning Sickness: Nothing happening in this area!

Symptoms: Same as last week...the usual!

What I miss: Not feeling like I was squishing my kiddo every time I bent down!  She's so low!

What I'm looking forward to: Kicks!

Other news: Vacation tomorrow!!!!!!!!! :)

19 weeks - Little Mango Baby!!

How far along: 19 Weeks

Total Weight Gained/Lost: +1 lbs (still waiting to see this move a bit...I'm sure it's coming.)

Sleep: I have been needing a few more naps lately. Sleeping at night is still okay though!

Best Moment of the Week(s): All the friend socializing we were able to do this week!!

Movement: I think I've been feeling some tiny little baby blips here and there!

Food Cravings: Ummm...popsicles?!

Food Aversions: Ummm...none!

Morning Sickness: Nothing too much.  Just the sporadic gagging here and there.

Symptoms: Stretching, round ligament pain, bigger belly, less "gracefulness".

What I miss: This week...softball.  It's a dumb thing to miss, but with three ballgames, coaching is just not cutting it!  I need to hit and throw and be involved!

What I'm looking forward to: Our 20 week ultrasound!  I hope and pray everything is okay in there!

Other news: Vacation is soon!! :)

18 weeks! (Just a little late)

How far along: 18 Weeks

Total Weight Gained/Lost: +1 lbs (No scale change yet but definitely some body changes!)

Sleep: I toss and turn a little more now, but I still get enough. :)

Best Moment of the Week(s): Finding out Baby Pate is a BOY!! :) One of each in our little framily!

Movement: I have been feeling more pressure when I lay down at night.  Jeremy has even been able to feel it a couple of times!  No pokes and prods yet though.  Anxiously awaiting! 

Food Cravings: I just like to eat...too bad I can't physically eat as much any more!! 

Food Aversions: Ummm...none!

Morning Sickness: I'm feeling good about this now.  Just a few gagging episodes sporadically. 

Symptoms: Stretching and round ligament pain.  I feel kinda like a penguin when I walk sometimes :D

What I miss: Feeling helpful!  Everyone keeps picking things up for me and not letting me carrying things.  I am very thankful, but I also feel like a bump on a log sometimes.

What I'm looking forward to: Vacay with the Allens!!

Other news: Our upstairs is moving forward, so hopefully we can get started on the nursery soon!!

Can't wait to meet Miss Eden Rae!
