20 Weeks! Half way there!

How far along? 20 weeks!

How big is baby? Size of a large banana. About 7 inches long and weighs 11 oz

Physical differences from last week? I've been able to feel where baby boy's head and/or bottom is from the outside as he'll be huddled so much to my side that it sticks out and is hard to the touch. Also am continuing to feel more and more movement.

Total weight gain/loss? 4 lbs over the last 3 weeks and +7 lbs overall.

How I'm feeling? Sleeping is getting a little more uncomfortable as the weeks go by. Other than that still feeling pretty good. Hoping I'll have some energy to get stuff done during my break this week.

What's been on my mind? Picking out paint and themes for Brooklyn's and baby boy's room in the new house! Only about 4 more weeks until the house is ours and we can paint before we move in.

What I'm looking forward to? Moving in to our house and getting ready for the holidays! Thinking about it just puts a smile on my face and makes me anxious for it to happen already!

Best moment this past week? Seeing lil man more in detail during the anatomy scan. Saw all his little fingers and toes and everything in between.

How big is baby? Size of a turnip. About 5 inches long and weighs 5 oz

Physical differences from last week? I guess I am looking a little bit bigger as I had my first 2 strangers ask me if I was pregnant a few days ago and coworkers who know telling me I am showing more.

Total weight gain/loss? 1 lbs this week and +3 lbs overall.

How I'm feeling? Still feeling pretty good. My back is starting to hurt a little bit at times though :(

What's been on my mind? Starting the nursery! All I can do is virtual shopping for things until we move and have an extra room though :(

What I'm looking forward to? Buying a house so baby boy will have a room to shop for and decorate!

Best moment this past week? Feeling baby boy moving around! Love the little flutters

How far along? 15 weeks

How big is baby? Size of an orange. About 4 inches long and weighs 2.5 oz

Physical differences from last week? Feeling like I am actually looking pregnant instead of just like I ate too much for lunch. Starting to get 'the look' from strangers where I can tell they are thinking it but don't want to ask yet.

Total weight gain/loss? 0 lbs this week and +2 lbs overall. Really surprised at this, hope I continue this steady climb and not gain as much as I did the first time :/

How I'm feeling? Seem to be feeling better as each week goes by. A little more energy and a little less 'blah' feeling.

What's been on my mind? Pretty positive I have been feeling baby boy moving around a little bit, it's exciting to feel it since I've been waiting for it and looking forward to it since I found out I was pregnant :)

What I'm looking forward to? Looking forward to feeling those stronger kicks and movements as he gets bigger!

Best moment this past week? Feeling baby boy moving around! It's reassuring to feel that he is getting bigger and stronger as each week goes by.

Physical differences from last week? No differences really. Definitely feeling pregnant but haven't felt like I've gotten too much bigger.

How I'm feeling? Pretty good. Been falling asleep really early but its getting a little easier to get up in the morning and I am getting more done at work during the day.

What's been on my mind? ITS A BOYYYY!!!!  I was so excited to see my little boy on the ultrasound screen and so glad that the tech was able to find out so early! She said he was absolutely, positively, no doubts about it, a boy!

What I'm looking forward to? Shopping and decorating! Can't wait until we move so I can start to put the nursery together. I have already been finding things on pinterest and can't wait to start some crafts.

Best moment this past week? Found out that my baby boy is a boy!! So excited to experience my little man as he grows inside me :)

Best moment this past week? Seeing baby on the ultrasound at my appointment again! This was the first ultrasound where baby was actually moving around a lot. The ultrasound tech was trying to get baby to move around by pushing on my stomach and every time she did baby would kick and swing its arms around, it was really cute :)
