Baby #2: Week 20 Bumpdate & the GENDER!

How far along? 20 weeks. HALFWAY!

Total weight gain: I'm exactly back to my pre pregnancy weight.

Maternity clothes: Give me all the maternity pants! I didn't even start wearing maternity pants until 25 weeks with Hudson, but I'm definitely embracing it this time. I just wish that they wouldn't fall down so much. I still wear my normal shirts. 

Sleep: Two words: pregnancy dreams. I have such vivid and strange dreams. Sleep really hasn't been bad yet except for Hudson waking up at night lately.

Best moment this week: The anatomy ultrasound! Everything looked great, but I get to have another ultrasound at my next appointment because she couldn't see all of her heart with the way she was facing and the baby was not willing to move for her. I'm super excited to get another ultrasound.

Miss anything? Not feeling and looking so fat. I'm fine with looking pregnant, but I just feel like I look fat half of the time. 

Movement: I have felt so much movement with this baby already, and I love it. I didn't feel any movement with Hudson until I was 20 weeks. I don't have an anterior placenta this time which means that I should feel lots more movement.

Food cravings: I can't think of a specific craving, but I'm so hungry allllll the time.

Anything making you sick or queasy: I was finally able to stop taking my nausea medicine at 18ish weeks. (I was only nauseous until 15 weeks with Hudson) Occasionally I will still get nauseous if I haven't eaten or if I eat too much, but it is perfectly manageable.

Gender: GIRL!!! Our private early ultrasound we had done was confirmed :D Although, we both thought that it was going to be a boy.

Labor signs: None.

Symptoms: Acne (at least it started later this pregnancy), heartburn, hip pain-my hips feel like I'm 35 weeks pregnant, emotional 

Belly button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: I like to think happy, but there are too many days where I am moody whether it be with Hudson, Taylor, or both.

Looking forward to: Getting the nursery ready and buying all things girly! A striped wall and refinishing a dresser will be the first things to get done in the nursery. We already have the crib and glider from Hudson. 

This pregnancy has been so similar and so different from Hudson's. I'm amazed at how much earlier I am showing with this pregnancy and truly amazed at all of the movements I feel already. I love doing the dishes and feeling her move around and kick me. 

Hudson is still 90% clueless that anything is going on, but I know that he will make a great big brother. Give me allll the big brother shirts for him! I can't help myself but look for them every time I go shopping.
