Woah, livin’ on a prayer.
So excited to reach the 20 week milestone. For me, this is big. 24 weeks or viability week will be a milestone for me too. I haven’t been walking on egg shells but there’s always a feeling of concern when you’ve had multiple losses in the past. I’m so thankful to God. So prayerful to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for keeping us healthy thus far. I also feel like both of my grandmothers (who both had a slew of children) are watching over me.
By the by, his name is official: Dax Connery. 🙂 I’m so excited and cannot wait to meet this little guy.
Here’s the 20 week Bumpdate in case you were interested…
How far
along? 20 Weeks
along? 20 Weeks
Total weight gain: still not gonna tell – luckily, it seems to be all baby related and not so much me ballooning up (yet). Belly is big but measuring right on target. Guess I just have a lot of new blood weighing me down??
Maternity
clothes? Yes and I need to do some more shopping. I’m running out of things to wear. And I hate maternity jeans. So meh.
Stretch marks? A few new
ones

Sleep: Still being a
night owl even though I’m so tired. The
bathroom trips are tolerable – barely.

Best moment(s) this week: Knowing I’m technically half way through! Feeling Dax kick or punch for the first
time. I felt him move since about week
18 but the little kicks are pretty cool. Felton just beaming at the anatomy scan. He almost started crying when he saw Dax’s little feet.

I’m sleeping. That’s my dude!
Food cravings: Cream
