20 Weeks

I feel like I look smaller compared to 18 weeks.  Representing both teams with the pink & blue.

How far along? 20 Weeks 3 Days
Total weight gain/loss: +10 pounds
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? No.  I bought some Palmer's Cocoa Butter for stretch marks.  We'll see if it works.
Sleep: Good
Best moment this week: Getting a three day weekend for MLK day!
Have you told family and friends: Yes
Miss Anything?  No, this week has been good.  I'm pretty happy right now.
Movement: Yes.  As soon as I hit 20 weeks, it's like I started feeling much more movement.  The flutters tickle and I love them!
Food cravings:  Fruit - I feel like I could eat a gallon of mandarin oranges!
Anything making you queasy or sick: No
Have you started to show yet: Yes
Gender prediction: Husband says boy. I'm leaning toward girl.  We'll see...
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: I woke up 2 days ago to discover one of my nipples had leaked.  I didn't realize it could happen this early.  I showed my husband and he said, "eww, gross."  I was about to retort, then I realized I was kind of weirded out, too.  Apparently it's normal around this time.  I also had a horrible charlie horse/leg cramp in my right calf earlier this week.  I woke up at 5 am, yelping from the pain.  My husband later told me he thought I was going into some horrible preterm labor.  Thank goodness that was not the case!  I've been told that I should get more potassium, so bananas are on the shopping list.
Belly Button in or out? In...for now.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy
Looking forward to: Our ultrasound!  This having a baby thing is becoming so real to me.  I look at my husband differently now.  I'm more in love with him every day, just knowing that we created life together.  He has been wonderful to me throughout this pregnancy, and it makes me feel like we are really in it together.  So far he has been able to come to every appointment and will be coming to the next 2 that are already scheduled for January.  I love sharing this experience with him.

Here's some info. from babycenter.com on pregnancy at 20 weeks:

How your baby's growing:

Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)  He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).
