Week 20 - halfway there!

Have you started to show yet? Yes definitely now :)
Total weight gain/loss: Not sure! I haven't weighed myself in a few days :/
Food cravings: Mac and Cheese!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope! 
Miss Anything?This week will make no wine really tough. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times to crack open a really nice bottle of wine :(
Mood: Great! A little stressed out lately, but the 4 day weekend will help with that.
Sleep: Little man has been kicking my bladder in the middle of the night, so that makes it a little tough to get a full night's sleep. I'm getting up twice a night to pee.
Best moment this week: Having my family come to visit!
Annoyances: Nothing I can think of :)
Maternity clothes? Oh yeah!
Stretchmarks? Yep :(
Symptoms: Feeling a little more tired than normal, but it's probably from getting up a few times a night. Lots of growth on my tummy and getting tougher to get comfortable.
Movement: He's super active! As I type this, he is kicking my belly button.
Belly button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Gender Predictions:  IT'S A BOY!!!!
Looking forward to:  My family being here! They are enroute right now, and will be here until Sunday. So happy to have them during a special holiday.

Week 18 - It's a BOY!

Have you started to show yet? Yep! Even as I write this 2 days after we took this picture,  I'm even bigger. It's great, because I finally feel like I LOOK pregnant. 
Total weight gain/loss: Gained 6lbs total.
Food cravings: Nothing really this week.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope! 
Miss Anything?All of it! WIne, sushi, cocktails, abundant amounts of coffee (or black tea!).
Mood: Pretty good! Mostly happy and perky (finding out the sex and seeing baby on the screen really has lifted me up!)
Sleep: Eh, it's hit or miss. Some nights I sleep soundly and some I wake up at 3am and 5am for absolutely no reason. 
Best moment this week: Seeing our perfect little man on the screen, and finding out it's a boy!! :)
Annoyances: Being in Las Vegas while pregnant. It's pretty shitty. 
Maternity clothes? I've caved and started wearing some maternity tops. I try and make as many pre pregnancy clothes work as I can, but sometimes it just feels good to wear a stretchy shirt that fits well. I'm wearing a maternity top in this photo.
Stretchmarks? Just a few, but I'm hoping they go away (hah!)!
Symptoms: I've felt great this week, except I'm constantly starving. I guess little man is growing a lot. I'm also super stuffed up all the time, but the Doc said I'm allowed to take Claritin if it's really bad.
Movement: Lots now! Mostly when I'm sitting/relaxing, but even when I'm walking I'll feel a good jab. He's an active little man!
Belly button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or off? On, but all of this traveling has made my fingers a little swollen.
Gender Predictions:  IT'S A BOY!!!!
Looking forward to:  Thanksgiving. My family is coming up to celebrate at our house this year, and I'm more than excited :)
