The Baby Bump Chronicles – Pregnancy Week 20

I have reached the halfway point! At first, I felt like this pregnancy was creeping by but now, the weeks just keep flying by. Before I know it this baby will be here and I still have a lot to do!!

Black Lace Dress

How far along? 20 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: This past week I was up 7 lbs, I’ve been gaining a pound a week pretty consistently now. As much as it pains me to see that scale going on, I’m on target to gain roughly 25-30 pounds which is what I gained with my first pregnancy without any problems, so I’m ok with it!
Sleep: Sleeping pretty well lately, a couple of weeks ago I had a few nights in a row I would wake up around 1am and couldn’t go back to sleep until 3am or so, that was fun. Luckily, this past week I haven’t had any of those episodes.
Best moment this week: This isn’t pregnancy related, but celebrating Maddox’s third birthday was pretty special, he had so much fun and this momma loves nothing more than seeing him happy!
Movement: Lots! This baby wiggles around a lot more than Maddox did, nearly every time I eat, baby does the happy dance.
Symptoms: I’m still having issues eating. Obviously with my weight gain I’m eating enough, but I literally don’t want to eat. Everything makes me feel awful, I basically eat because I have to. Yet, I’m still starving all the time.
Food cravings: I’m really not craving much at the moment, except a turkey sandwich which I can’t have haha.
Food aversions: Still onions and rice big time, but like I said, I’m really not enjoying much of anything lately.
Gender: Our gender scan is this week!!!!
Labor Signs: Nope!
Belly Button in or out? Still half out. I almost feel like my belly hasn’t grown much over the last few weeks, I popped fast, but now I’m holding steady at somewhat the same size.
What I miss: Starbucks coffee, turkey sandwiches and the ability to drink a ton of water. <--same as a few weeks ago! What I am looking forward to: Still so excited about finding out the gender, will be revealing that later this week! Thanks for reading girls, can't wait to share the gender with you soon!! -Brooke

    Looking good, Momma! Have you tried eating smaller meals throughout the day? Maybe your getting hungry because you aren’t getting enough protein in?

    Love your lovely dress. You look great in it. What a fun time 20 weeks is. I especially love it as it is baby gender learning time. 🙂 I felt similar to you not wanting to eat much in my last pregnancy. Hopefully in a couple of weeks, your appetite will improve, and you’ll take advantage of eating for two. <3 Looking forward to hear boy or girl 🙂 XOXO, Elif
