20 Weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights...

How Far Along: I'm 20 weeks, halfway there!

Size Of Baby: Baby Hornaday is the size of a banana.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I still don't know. I need to weigh myself, but I'm definitely getting bigger!

Maternity Clothes: It is about time for me to buy some maternity pants! I so appreciate everyone that left comments about jeans on my last post. I tried on a few different styles at Motherhood Maternity yesterday. I found some I really liked there. I am still trying to decide exactly what kinds I want and from where, but my regular pants (with my bella band) are all just so uncomfortable! I am still wearing all of my regular clothes, but this will change soon!

Gender: We are SO excited to find out! Our doctor wants to wait until I'm 24 weeks before doing another ultrasound, but I'm REALLY hoping we can get one a few weeks early so we know before Christmas. I'm not good at being patient!

Movement: This baby is a mover and a shaker! I love how much he/she has been moving lately! I think I felt a little kick on the outside yesterday, but I'm not positive. I can't wait for James to feel him/her!

Sleep: Sleep is the same… still sleeping great! I wake up every night to use the restroom, but have no trouble falling right back to sleep.

What I Miss: Nothing I can think of. Mt. Dew maybe :) I wish they made caffeine free Mt. Dew!

Cravings: Cereal and orange juice.

Symptoms: I am still feeling great! So thankful.

Best Moment This Week: Feeling the baby move. I can't get enough of it. I just love feeling him/her moving around.

Help!

It's about time for me to buy some maternity jeans. My regular ones are becoming too uncomfortable! The problem is, I'm totally unsure how to go about this. There are so many different styles for the waist, and I have no clue what is the best option. Full panel, roll panel, low rise... I just don't know what will fit the best! I've never been much of an online shopper. I enjoy looking online, but I like to go into stores and try things on and see what they really look like and how they fit. However, the malls around us do not have maternity sections in the stores I'm looking at. So I feel stuck! I have found some options I really like at old Navy. (The two pictured above are my favorites!) I also love the selection at Gap, but they are so pricey! I am also wondering, do I pick a size the same as my pre-pregnancy size or go bigger? I'd really like for the jeans to last most of my pregnancy. Is that even possible? This is just all so new :) I know I should not be stressing about this, but I am. I'm not even sure how it works to return close that you order online! So, do any of you have any suggestions? What has worked best for you? I'd LOVE any help with this. Thanks friends!

19 Weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights...

How Far Along: Due to a crazy busy schedule last week with Thanksgiving, I never posted my 18th week highlights. I did however manage to take one picture, so I will post that with this weeks pictures. This week I am 19 weeks!

Size Of Baby: Baby Hornaday is the size of a large heirloom tomato.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I honestly don't know. I need to weigh myself!

Maternity Clothes: I am still wearing all of my regular clothes. I wear my bella band with all of my pants. I wish I could live in sweatpants!

Gender: We are SO excited to find out! Our doctor wants to wait until I'm 24 weeks before doing another ultrasound, but I'm REALLY hoping we can get one a few weeks early so we know before Christmas. I'm not good at being patient!

Movement: This past weekend I could feel that baby move a lot! We were at a high school basketball game where it was really loud and he/she was movin' and shakin' all over the place. The same thing happened at church Sunday during worship. It's such a wonderful feeling!

Sleep: Sleep is the same… still sleeping great! I wake up every night to use the restroom, but have no trouble falling right back to sleep.

What I Miss: OH my word, we found caffeine free Pepsi this week and I AM IN HEAVEN!! SO I'm really not missing anything!

Cravings: Nothing really, but I could eat cereal at any time... Golden Grahms and Reese's Puffs!

Symptoms: I have felt great this week. I've not had any headaches for the past two weeks. I am so thankful! I make sure to eat a snack between all of my meals and this seems to keep the headaches away. I may gain 100 pounds, but at least I'm not getting headaches! Ha!

Best Moment This Week: Feeling the baby move! I just love it. Also, my belly has been getting a lot of attention and it's so fun when people make comments and ask me about the baby!
