Halfway there!

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 20 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Last Dr visit was 6 lbs...but I know I've gained a few more :)

Maternity Clothes: Everyday :) And they are sure comfy! Thank you sister for your suitcase full of clothes!

Sleep: Sleeping pretty good. Baby thinks it is play time for the first hour of my sleep :)

Best Moment this week: Visiting my Sis in Texas and having her feel baby move. Also having Laney say hi to baby and kiss my tummy :)

Gender: We find out February 23!....5 more days!!!

Movement: Oh yes! Especially when I flew to Texas. Baby was a rollie pollie on the plane! And anytime I lay down to rest baby wants to play. I love it :)

Food Cravings: Cereal and fresh fruit.

Food Aversions: Not at the moment.

How's Mama? Still doing good! Started doing some Preggy Pilates to stay somewhat in shape and to help my lower back which has been hurting lately.

What I am looking forward to: Finding out what gender baby is!

Our Baby in Veggie/Fruit Terms: Baby Foley is a small cantaloupe!

Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had via amniotic fluid.

"Baby, Baby, Baby Ohhhhhh!"

Yes, you should be singing that to the tune of Justin Bieber....the Biebs.....the Biebster (ok I'll stop now..) Yikes! I admit, I'm a fan-and I find myself singing this song to my little baby :) Here is my 18 week update!

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 18 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Dr says six pounds! I'm beginning to feel it especially (sorry boys) in the chest region ;) and the back end region. Lovely...like I needed either of those to be bigger..

Maternity Clothes: Just my belly band. I'm waiting until I go to Texas next week to have the shopping expertise of my sis to help me out.

Sleep: Sleeping pretty good. Still peeing a couple times during the night...and I wake up on and off a lot after 3am.

Best Moment this week: Feeling baby move around! AND having Jonny feel a kick :)

Gender: We find out February 23!

Movement: Yup! There's no real schedule to it-but definitely feeling some movement! Baby has a lot of fun especially around 3am and 6am. (Is this a forecasting of what's to come?) :)

Food Cravings: Still cereal and fruit. And now cold stone ice cream! yummy.

Food Aversions: Depends on the day...and the smell..

How's Mama? Doing good. So happy to feel little one moving around! I still feel like my appearance is "in between", but I can tell slow changes here and there.

What I am looking forward to: Finding out what gender baby is!

Our Baby in Veggie/Fruit Terms: Baby Foley is my little sweet potato this week.

Baby's become amazingly mobile- passing the hours yawning, hiccupping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking, and swallowing.
