Size of Baby: A small cantaloupe (6.5 inches). That seems large -- a lot larger than the heirloom tomato last week.
Gender: Baby girl!
Weight Gain: Up two pounds this week, so +4 from my normal pre-pregnancy weight, +7 from my lowest pregnancy weight.
Maternity Clothes: I stopped at Goodwill to look for a tacky Christmas sweater and ended up spotting a maternity rack -- no shame in my game! I found a hardly-worn pair of Pea In The Pod khaki bootcut pants for $3.99! And they have a full tummy panel which is so comfy on me. They are in the wash now and they will be perfect for the work travel I have coming up in January and February. When you see how much stores charge for maternity pants, you know how much of a steal this is -- most Pea In The Pod pants are $85 and up.
Nursery: Still an office.
Movement: Baby girl moves around quite a bit, especially when I eat something sweet or change positions from standing up to sitting down. It's so dang sweet. Love this feeling.
Symptoms: Besides this growing belly, not many symptoms to report upon. No wonder people love the second trimester!
Sleep: Sleeping really well and loving my Snoogle pregnancy pillow.
Cravings: I still love sweets. Ordered Belgian waffles with bananas and walnuts for breakfast Saturday morning when we were in DC and they were the jam. Not exactly "normal" April, though. I typically would have gone for an omelet!
What I Miss: Can't think of a thing. Well, maybe an occasional glass of champagne. ;)
Best Moment This Week: Talking about baby girl with Ian's grandparents! They are so excited and happy. I can't wait for them to meet her.
Looking Forward To: Deciding on a name. Ian and I have knocked a few ideas around but committing to a name is certainly overwhelming! For someone who has always kept a running list of baby names in her phone, you'd think it would be easy for me. :)
Glad to know that I'm not the only one who keeps a running list of baby names on their phone! I justify the list by having a another list for potential puppy names, just in case :)
ReplyDeleteI love these updates :) Good find on those $4 pants!
ReplyDeleteCute mommy!
ReplyDeleteHa! I keep a list too and I'm not even married or expecting yet :) I have about 15 girls names and 4 boys names...hopefully baby #1 will be a girl for me!
ReplyDeleteNames are tough for sure. Brad came up with Shelby. I think I recogonize that shirt :)
ReplyDeleteI am so ready for Baby R to have a name!!!! I can't wait to find out what you end up picking!
ReplyDeleteAnd also, i agree on how outrageous maternity clothes cost. Ergh! Great finds!
Can't wait for our walk! xo
Oh how I adore you...! I am an omelet girl too. AND I definitely have a running list of baby names under Notes in my phone!!!!
ReplyDeleteAHHH! LOVE IT! Love hearing about your grandparents' excitement too. So precious!! xx
I love that you feel her now! :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you keep the running list in your phone too.. you never know when you will hear a good one!
ReplyDeleteI swear it sugar carbs were the best when I was pregnant with SS. My husband referred to her as baby pancake for a long time, and I usually prefer cheese to sugar. Good score on the pants! Total steal!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing - seriously! Can't wait to see which name you decide upon - I can only imagine the pressure!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you are 20 weeks already!
ReplyDeleteYou're glowing!!! Can't belive you're already 1/2 through your pregnancy! Can't wait to hear baby girls name!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a list of names on my phone too!!!! We didn't end up deciding until labor, right before she was born. :)

It sounds like everything is going so well! It's so special that you were able to share in the excitement with Ian's grandparents. I can only imagine how happy your families must be!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Good-Will find! And yeah for being half way there :)
ReplyDeletegreat good-will find! maternity pants are ridiculously priced...but growing mommas have to have them!
ReplyDeleteAnd names are so tough...such a big responsibility!
Yay- you're halfway there!! We had the hardest time coming up with a name. It's much more serious when you're naming an actual human and not just making an arbitrary list of baby names for fun :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad the second trimester is not being difficult on you! You look wonderful as always and yay for cheapie pants!
ReplyDeletePicking a name is SO hard!! I always thought I'd know (I had a list too!) but as soon as I peed on that stick, all my ideas went out the window. I did not want to commit to something without meeting her first.
ReplyDeletethat is STEAL on your maternity pants! shoot, i'd go back to that goodwill and check the maternity section often!
ReplyDeleteGirl, you look fabulous, especially that hair! Tutorial please? And $4 pants? Rock on!!
ReplyDeleteyou look adorable!!
