Halfway There: 20 Weeks!


How far along? 20 Weeks 4 Days

Baby's size? From Baby Center: weighs about 10 1/2 ounces and measures 6 1/2 inches about the length of a banana.
Weight Gain? OMG I can't believe I'm sharing this but I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and since my last visit I gained 9lbs!!!!!!!!!! I just can't believe that! I'm really worried about that as I only wanted to gain 15lbs the whole pregnancy since I'm already a little overweight. I asked the doctor about it yesterday and she said some people gain the most of it in the beginning and slow down at the end so for me not to worry about it yet. We have another appointment in 4 weeks and well see how I'm doing then.

Maternity clothes? Loving them and Mr. Lopez' coworker who just had a baby gave me some of her maternity clothes so I have a lot more!

Stretch marks? Yes and I've been using Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula for Stretch Mark Cream

Belly button in or out? In but getting shallow

Sleep? I've been sleeping a little better now that I bought a pregnancy pillow! Not tossing as much.

Foods I am loving? I've been eating a lot of sweets lately but I've always had a sweet tooth so not sure if that's just me or if its gotten worse since the pregnancy.

Foods I am hating? Nothing really just tired of eating fast food these past couple weeks.

Best moment this week? Mr. Lopez painted Elizabeth's room and we put her furniture together! Her nursery is almost done all we have to do is put up her wall art! Also heard her heartbeat yesterday at doctors appointment.

Movement? I'm pretty sure I felt some moving around but not an actual kick yet.

Symptoms? I had my first nose bleed last week and I've been having a lot of headaches.

Gender? It's a girl! Elizabeth Grace Lopez

What I miss? A glass of wine!

Dr. Visit: We had a doctors visit yesterday and we didn't have an ultrasound but we did get to hear the heartbeat. We have one more 4 week appointment and then we're down to every other week! I can't believe it! Time has just flown! We've started looking at childbirth classes at the hospital and hopefully will have signed up for one by the end of the month. We will also probably take an infant CPR class as well before she gets here.
