20 week bump update


Total weight gain: 10 lbs

Maternity clothes: Wearing maternity pants and most of my tops are maternity but a little big still. I can wear a few of my pre-preg sweaters. I'm loving that the weather has been cooler to wear fall clothes.

Stretch marks: Using a combo of Palmer's cocoa butter, Mustela, and bio oil twice a day. It worked with Blake, so fingers crossed it will work again.

Sleep: Still waking a few times a night to go to the bathroom, but I have had a few nights without interruptions which was awesome.

Miss anything? Sounds bad but alcohol (cosmopolitan in particular.) When we were in NYC last week I had the waiter shake cranberry juice with ice in a martini glass to feel like I was drinking a cosmo.

Exercise: I've been traveling so much lately, I haven't done anything. We walked over 35 miles when we were in New York so I don't feel terrible about skipping the gym the past two weeks.

Movement: Yes! I think I skipped the flutters and went straight to feeling taps/light kicks. They can't be felt from the outside yet, but I feel them a few times a day.

Food cravings: No real cravings lately. I had a few days that I was eating caramel apples but that's it. Still have a sweet tooth and love spicy foods.

Anything make you queasy/sick? I've been feeling good lately thank goodness! I did feel carsick in New York, but I would have even if I wasn't pregnant. Those cab drivers and the traffic is not a good combo for someone who gets motion sickness.

Have you started to show yet: Oh yes the bump is pretty visible now.

Gender: Boy
Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Symptoms: I have been super tired lately, but I'm sure that's from so much traveling lately. I wish the acne on my forehead would go away, but overall I feel good!

Looking forward to: Thanksgiving, decorating for Christmas, and cooler weather.
 
Labor signs: No
