This blog was started to allow friends and family to see what is going on in our lives. Sit back, hold on and stay a while. It's going to be a bumpy road with a four year old and a newborn on board.

20 Weeks: Half Way There!

Facts About Baby:

  • length is 7-9 inches long
  • weighs about one pound
  • ears are developed and he can recognize sound
  • I feel movement all the time. Especially at night.
Facts about Mommy:

  • Total weight gain: 10 pounds. I'm pretty happy with this because I gained a total of 48 pounds with Mason and I'm trying not to gain as much this time. I'm half way through this pregnancy with only a ten pound gain.
  • Symptoms: No more morning sickness. Don't let these words fool you because it's not just "morning" sickness, it's all day sickness. Actually, I never actually got sick but I was nauseous all day, every day. Which to me is worse.
  • If I'm on my feet for a long time they hurt and go numb.
  • I'm hot all the time.
  • I can't lay on my back any more or I can't breathe.
  • I get out of breath easily.
  • I'm hungry all the time. But I'm supposed to be. Right? I'm eating for two.
