20 Weeks Pregnant

What an amazing week this has been! Halfway there… OH MY GOSH!!! The time is flying by and I can't believe it will soon be time to meet our little princess. This week we had our doctors appointment and ultrasound and I cannot even begin to describe the feelings and emotions when we saw our little girl. She has grown so much and was moving all over the place. She would not stay still for a second. It was pretty funny to watch. Her little arms and legs were going all over the place. And we did indeed confirm…  it's a little girl :) No doubts about that!
Seeing her little features. gave me butterflies! Her little nose and chin and hands and feet! AHHH I cannot wait to meet her <3


I have also been feeling A LOT of movement this week. She never sits still! It catches me off guard sometimes she kicks so hard! Especially at night time. She is a night owl like her mama ;) It is the most amazing feeling to be able to place my hand on my stomach and feel her moving. It makes me smile :)

I also have to say…we have the most amazing doctors office! They are always so friendly and reassuring at every single appointment. This week they congratulated us on our little girl and gave us a special little gift. HOW ADORABLE is this hat???! One of the staff members there made it! I cannot wait to put it on her! 


My cravings this week have been a little weird!!! They come out of no where and sometimes its the most random things! I still want my cheese and mustard sandwiches and raisin bran cereal. I actually had this for dinner the other night! Haha so weird right?! Ate it all together and it satisfied me! I am having more of a sweet tooth this week and its been crazy. It doesn't help with the holidays and the Christmas cookies and other sweets I just had to make and have sitting around. 
Let me tell you about this amazing little snack I put together the other night though… Oh my yum!!! Salty, sweet, savory… it is a keeper ;) 
Yes! That is popcorn and peanut butter. On their own they are delicious, BUT… put together… EVEN BETTER!!! I melted a little peanut butter and drizzled it on top of my popcorn. Perfect little sweet tooth snack :) 


I was also told this week to take it easy with my working out as well. So I had to say bye bye to Chalean Extreme. I have been doing Piyo instead and will be incorporating some walking to get my cardio in. Piyo is perfect for me. Its Yoga and Pilates combined and it still gives me a great workout! 




My bump decided to finally make its debut this week :) :) 


How far along? 20 weeks 
Total weight gain/loss: 9 pounds! Woo too! Little girl is growing :)  
Maternity clothes? YES! Did some shopping this week and found some cute jeans and tops. I am ready for some comfort at this point! My little belly just won't fit in my regular jeans anymore bye bye jeans see you in a few months ;) 
Stretch marks? None. I have been using my lotions every morning and night before bed. 
Sleep: Sleep is better this week. I have still been having a little back pain and hip pain. My sister-in-law gave me this amazing pillow called the snoogle. It has been amazing! I slept so hard the first couple of nights I used it. it helps support my back and it's just so comfortable to snuggle up to. 
Best moment this week: Seeing little baby P! The ultrasound was soooo amazing! Hearing her heartbeat and seeing her move around was so amazing. Seeing all her tiny little features and hands and feet and fingers and toes ahhh I just can't even describe how it felt. She was a jumping jelly bean in there so it was pretty entertaining to watch. 
Miss Anything? Subs just subs. :( 
Movement: This little girl is a tumbler! The movement this week has been crazy! She has been kicking harder and wiggles around in there so much. Who knew something so tiny could make movements that big!? I really feel her the most at nighttime. 
Food cravings: Just cheese and mustard… lots of mustard. The more the better! Raisin Bran cereal and popcorn with peanut butter.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Gender: GIRL!!!! Team pink all the way :) 
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: A little back and hip pain. 
Belly Button in or out? In but its starting to pop out a little bit. It looks so weird right now! haha

Looking forward to: Getting the nursery started! We have our furniture all picked out, the colors and theme we want to go with. Now it's time to start putting our vision together! I can't wait to get it started.
