20 Week Belly Post

...A little behind on my Belly Posts. It has been a crazy month! So a little back tracking we go....

How far along: 20 Weeks

Size of the baby:  Around 6.5 inches. About the size of a cantaloupe.

Total weight gain/loss: I gained a total of 10 pounds at my 17 week appointment. Another official weigh in at my monthly 21 week checkup.

Maternity clothes: No maternity cloths yet but I am still sporting the Belly Band with a couple of my higher waisted jeans. I still fit into all my tops, dresses, and most of my jeans. 

Cravings: No specific cravings. Just love all foods in general and have no problems in that department. 

Symptoms: The heels of my feet have started to bother me so I have purchased some Dr. Scholls foot support for my shoes. I know it sounds soo old ladyish but they say your posture and balance change during pregnancy because of your growing belly and I think that, in combination with being a nurse on my feet all day, makes for some pretty achy feet! So far they are doing the trick and I am doing just fine.  I opt to wear a bit of a heel or wedge on the weekends vs. flats because they tend to kill the feet. 

Movements: Josh finally got to feel baby! So far he has only felt baby boy a few times. The second time being a good hard kick! I will never forget his big eyes opening up and looking at me, like whoooaa!!! Pretty special moment! =)

Gender predictions: All BOY!

Here are some 3d ultrasound pics of baby Boy Manard, hence the no name yet (sore subject!).......

....and unfortunately I did not take any 20 week belly pics. I swore I would try to be good about taking a picture every 2 weeks but I have already failed! =(  I most definitely plan on taking one for my 22 week post. Let me just tell you, there is some definite growing going on!!
