bump #2 - 20 weeks!

I can't believe I am halfway there!  This week has been crazy busy.  We are all moved in and LOVE our new house.  It feels enormous after living in an apartment for 4 months.  My parents were able to watch Emerson during the move and we got so much done.  We even went out on a date which we never do because it feels strange to hardly see her during the week to then get a babysitter for the weekend.  I am late taking this picture and am actually 20 weeks 5 days in it.  Notice my little girl wanting to be picked up.  She has been sick again and refusing to eat or drink.  She knows how to worry her parents and how to keep them from sleeping!!  I am so ready for Spring so she can feel better and stay better.

Total weight gain: +8.  Nice and steady. 

Maternity clothes:  I need to buy skinny maternity pants.  I really hate maternity pants (other than jeans) but I am a hot mess tugging and adjusting on this belly band all day at work.

Stretch marks:  Nada!

Sleep:  Emerson is still waking up early.  It is to the point now where are waking up naturally at 4:30.  We are going to bed really early to make up for it though…like 8:30 one night and 9 another. in with it. 

Miss Anything?  Too excited with the move to miss anything!

Movement:  Yes!  Not all the time yet, but more and more each day.

Food cravings:  Spinach salad with egg, avocado, and my honey mustard dressing.  I could eat that everyday.  Still being fat with my lemon pound cake!  I am trying to get back to eating my oatmeal for breakfast but I really just want salty foods in the morning.

Anything making you queasy or sick?  Just overeating pound cake so my own fault.  Bleh.

Gender:  BOY!

Symptoms: Insomnia is back.  Such a cruel joke.

Happy or Moody:  Happy!  We moved!  So ready to start nesting!

Looking forward to:  Punta Cana right after Valentine’s Day.  I am the most excited about sitting on the beach reading while possibly taking a nap.  I seriously can’t wait. 

Exercise:  Elliptical and T25 two days although I am going to have to stop these soon.  I might have another month.  I just need them to get me through the rest of this winter.  Once I can run again I am golden.
