20 weeks was an exciting marker for us! It was crazy (and a little scary) to know that I was already halfway through my pregnancy. It made me a little sad because I have really enjoyed my pregnancy so far and like having the little guy with me all the time.
Right before I turned 20 weeks we had dinner with the Hayfords and we really enjoyed getting to see little Samuel (funny moment of the night - when Samuel tried to get some milk from David). I felt relieved after visiting their house and seeing how we are really going to use all the stuff we register for. It made it a little less overwhelming ... but I am still trying to finish our registry and sometimes there are just too many options!
Here is my pic and status update from 20 weeks.
How far along: 20 weeksOther fun stuff around the 20 week mark:
Total weight gain: 12 lbs
Maternity clothes: Definitely need to make another shopping trip. One of my non-maternity skirts I was getting away with no longer fits... I almost cried :( I found some cute new dresses at Dillard's though!
Stretch marks: None so far
Sleep: This has been hard for me lately. I can't seem to get comfortable. I'm not supposed to sleep on my back but it's the only position that doesn't cause pain. Right now I try to keep myself on my side with my Snoogle pillow and a few other pillows surrounding my body. I pretty much take up 3/4 of the bed... sorry David.
Best moment of this week: Feeling the baby move a lot more frequently. He likes dinner time! (non-pregnancy related-- watching Season 2 of Orange is the New Black)
Miss anything: My shoe size!!! I went shoe shopping and had to buy an 8.5 shoe!!! I'm just going to blame it on the shoe running small :)
Movement: Quite a bit these days!
Food cravings: BBQ and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies this week. I blame the BBQ baked potato craving on Jennifer :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Have you started to show yet: Yes!
Gender: BOY!!!
Labor signs: Nope
Belly button in or out: In!!!
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy this week!
Looking forward to: Figuring out a name for him!

Now for my 21 week update!!!
This has been a pretty crazy week. We are in the midst of our garage renovation and we also had Lady spayed on Friday :(
She looked pathetic when we picked her up with her cone around her neck, but a few days later and she is back to normal. The vet sent us home with some doggie tranquilizers making it a point to tell us to use them since Lady is such a "crazy" puppy (and she is crazy.... dog has been eating drywall lately. I'm about to submit her to the "my strange addiction" show).
Don't feel too bad for her though... she was hand fed the first few days, was served water out of a ramekin and has had lots of treats!
Our garage renovation is going well. So far we have had windows and a new door installed, laid plywood down for the attic, had insulation installed and drywall put up. David is now priming and painting and finishing the floors. We will call the contractor one last time to finish out the trim work, install some doors and the attic ladder and build/install some cabinets. It's been a huge task but will hopefully be worth all the work and money in the end. Luckily David and Ross are handy electricians and were able to do all the electrical work themselves!
I will post my 21 week pic soon... but here are my pregnancy updates:
How far along: 21 weeks

Maternity clothes: This is happening almost full time now... can only get away with super stretchy non-maternity clothes
Stretch marks: None so far
Sleep: Sciatic nerve is killing me, but I did manage a 3.5 hour nap on Sunday :)
Best moment of this week: Anatomy ultrasound and finding out that Baby S is healthy and symmetrical (yes they used that word)
Miss anything: Getting a buzz off of wine... not gonna lie.
Movement: I feel him quite a bit. I think he is mostly awake from dinner time until the morning. Hopefully that changes before he is born!
Food cravings: Fruit, especially nectarines this week!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
