20 Weeks

Holy bump!

Along: 20 weeks.  Bump is OBVIOUS! Hah! 

Size of Baby:  Baby B is about 10 ounces and 6.5 inches long from crown to rump.  The size of a small cantaloupe... no wonder the bump is getting so big!   

Wight Gain/Loss:  About 8 pounds so far.  I should have gained about 10, so I'm still feeling good about my health.  I definitely had to move to the maternity pants this past week.  Boy are they comfortable!  I'm lucky, I still wear the same size pants as I did pre-pregnancy, except these have an elastic waist!  I still have a lot of shirts I can wear, but also bought some cute shirts that will work now (with a cardigan) and into the summer.

Gender:  It's a..... BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm so thrilled to be expecting a little guy!  We have not decided on a name yet.  Still debating between two! 

Sleep:  Sleep is still really good, no complaints! 

What I Miss:  A glass of wine... and that's about it! 

Cravings:  Hmmm... this week I was craving some Oat Squares cereal (still am!), pop-tarts, and other sweets.  I could really go for some potato chips right now too, haha.

Symptoms:  I have started to feel the 'flutter' of Baby B which is so exciting!  Jimmy is a little jealous that he can't feel the baby move yet, but he will soon.   

Best Moment this Week:    Definitely finding out the gender and seeing the little guy on the ultrasound screen.  The doctor checked every little thing and he looks perfect!  Size is just right, no deformities, and he is active!  I couldn't ask God for anything more!  Here are some of my favorite pictures from the ultrasound:

I'M A BOY!!!

Aren't these the cutest little feet you've ever seen?!?

I love this one because you can see his mouth is open!  He kept opening and closing his mouth during the ultrasound.

Little legs all stretched out!

His forearms and hands.



Jimmy and I were extremely anxious to find out the gender.  After we did, we went out and bought the bedding that evening!  It's called 'Jackson' from Pottery Barn Kids.  We will be doing a 'Sea' theme, so whales, fish, ect.  His bedding is absolutely adorable, I'm in love!  We also went and bought some blue paint to paint the bottom portion of the walls in the nursery.  We got the perfect blue to match the bedding.  Here are a few pictures of the nursery and bedding so far...

The paint is still drying, so excuse the green tape!

The quilt that came with the bedding set.

Well, it was a wonderful past two weeks with lots of exciting things going on!  I'm so excited to shop for blue/green things now!!!  I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Love,

Judi and Jimmy
