20 weeks!! (HALFWAY!!!)

my view now-a-days.

I know, I missed week 18. Turns out "pregnancy brain" is real because I just completely forgot ;)

How big is baby:  Mango! 

Total weight gain/loss: +7lbs so far (I'm starting to hate how this asks me my weight gain/LOSS every time....who on earth loses weight at 20 weeks?!?!)

Maternity clothes: Yes! I've been going buck-wild over maternity clothes. I even bought some jeans from some random lady I found on a Facebook group. (you would have too if you'd seen they were only $2!)

Clearly maternity jeans are completely flattering and sexy

Best moment this week: We just got our 20 week ultrasound, which means we got to see the anatomy of the baby, the heart chambers, the parts of the brain, the amount of amniotic fluid, the (lack of) cleft palate, all the fingers and toes, the kidneys, stomach, and yes, the gender!! But more about that on the next post ;)

Food cravings: Gyros and greek food in general. I woke up Tuesday morning just thinking about gyros. SO I looked up greek food in Provo (which there is an extreme lack of, by the way..) and found a little food truck nearby, so I took the girls on a little adventure as we walked all the way to the food truck so I could get my $4 gyro. And it was soooooo worth it. Best craving ever.

Food aversions: Chick-fil-A & all burgers in general. This one is really sad for Zach, who had just jumped on the whole Chick-fil-A bandwagon after I convinced him for so long. I'm hoping this doesn't mean baby doesn't like Chick-fil-A, because it might be hard for him/her to fit into our family if that's the case.... just kidding ;)

Gender: I really do think it's a girl, for a lot of reasons. Mostly mother's intuition, but we'll see :)

Names: Anders Michael Wagner

Everly "to be decided" Wagner

Pregnancy symptoms: So these past few weeks I've started having a lot of "round ligament" pain. Pretty much, when you get pregnant (especially the first time) your uterus has to grow and stretch a lot, which means the ligaments on the side of the uterus stretch a lot, which, as it turns out, is really painful. It happens most often when I get in and out of the car, or when I work out or right after I've done a really intense workout. But the other week it started hurting a lot, especially when I walked. It even got to the point where I thought I was going into early labor, so I was about ready to go to the hospital to have it checked out, but I decided to wait it out and rest and everything turned out to be okay.

What I am looking forward to: I can't wait to finish the nursery! I've been debating a lot about this one, since the baby will be due in June and we move in August, so will it really be worth it to set up the whole nursery? But it's like a deep-seeded desire in me, to set up my baby's nursery. So even if we have to move a few months later, it will be worth it!

Funny Moment: Crying over this commercial. Have you seen it? Watch it now. No, really, watch it. I watch it over and over, and I cry every. single. time.

Milestones: I now feel baby kicks!! They feel like little bubbles, but stronger. I can only feel them when I sit down or lay down. It's the best feeling in the world. And when we saw the ultrasound and saw they baby kicking, I could feel them! It gives me such a peace of mind to feel baby kicking throughout my whole day at work, just to remind me that baby is healthy and doing great!

Half baked because baby is "half baked"....heh heh heh. punny.
