20 weeks and counting!

How Far along? 20 weeks

Size of the Baby? some sights say banana, some say cantaloupe!! 

Maternity Clothes? Yes

Gender? Little Levi

Movement? All the time. Mainly at night when I lay down but lately I feel him when I am sitting up. He is actually kicking like crazy right now as I am typing this

Sleep? Getting harder to get comfortable. I cant really lay on my back because he just sits on all kinds of things inside of me, and getting up in the middle of the night is tough because it is SO hard to sit up. My core now consists of a baby

Cravings? Chocolate milk shakes and candy. Not good. I am trying to not eat so much sugar but it is crazzzy how bad I want it!

Symptoms?  Just going to the bathroom a lot. Anddd some moodiness :) thank the Lord for my husband's patience

What I miss? working out/ being active. I wasnt working out regularly when I got pregnant so I wasnt able to start something. But I can walk! Haha soo exciting!

Milestones? Reaching the halfway point! It is crazy to think that baby boy will be here in just about 4 months!

Weight Gain? 8 lbs

What I’m excited about? Starting the nursery and registering!

Baby Center update: 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).
