I realized I am way behind so I'm catching up today I'm actually 21 weeks but will catch you up.
How Pregnant am I?
20 weeks
Gender
IT's A GIRL!!!!!!!!!
Maternity Clothes
I'm wearing maternity pants/shorts all the time or I can still wear my workout pants and leggings. I am still able to wear some normal shirts but I do wear a lot of maternity shirts. I can't complain I have some really comfortable clothes and I'm very thankful I can be very casual and not have to dress for work everyday.
Movement
Our baby girl is moving, I feel her almost every day several times during the day. The kicks and punches are becoming stronger each day. I still can't tell between a hand and a foot but I believe she is moving her hands a lot because of where she is positioned and where I feel movement.
What I Miss
I was talking about this just yesterday with a friend of mine that is pregnant as well..As far as food I think I just miss not having to worry about everything I put in my mouth whether or not it's safe. To be honest I have been very lacked about what I have eaten for example I have started eating lunch meat again.. some women feel very strongly about what we can and cannot eat but I just really don't worry about it.
It has begun to be difficult to bend over and get things or get out of Adam's sports car so I miss being able to move about with ease but really I can't complain and I am really enjoying this season of life!
Cravings
I figured out a craving.. for a long time I have wrote that I really don't have specific cravings. Well the other day I figured it out. The only thing I can honestly say I have craved more than anything is Ice Water, with a LOT of ice. It has really been the only thing I have wanted to drink and I am very thankful for this craving I hope it continues after she is born!
Symptoms
I am happy to report no more headaches. If I have headaches they are very mild. Like I said before I am having a hard time bending over, I can still do it but it's really uncomfortable. I have been having some growing pains which have been pretty uncomfortable and my feet hurt and are sore everyday. Even if I do everything the books say, elevate them, rub them, etc.. they still hurt so I am just getting used to them being this way. I am looking forward to wearing my Uggs this fall they are so comfortable. Last but not least, is my belly, I swear it gets bigger everyday. Sorry there isn't a pic I am really bad at taking pictures.
Fears
Since we found out it's a girl I have noticed I have had more fears. Just thinking about her life and my life and things that I went through. It is all overwhelming but I am so thankful the Lord and I can deal with these feelings and thoughts before she arrives. There is also some anxiety about the future, stuff with the Navy is coming to a close and we should know within the month if God has Adam starting a career with the Navy. It has been such a long 2 years and to see a light at the end of the tunnel is exciting and also overwhelming. God has been good to be very near and I can say for the most part I have peace!
Best Moment of the week
Finding out "the kid" was a GIRL!!!! We are both really excited and thankful for a healthy baby girl and looking forward to meeting her!
