20 Weeks!

20 Weeks and It's A Girl!

Week: 20
Baby: Baby Pease is the size of a cantaloupe. Really getting big :)
Stretch Marks: Nope!
Maternity Clothes: Always!
Sleep: I have been sleeping better and not having to get up to use the bathroom as often...which will only last so long, so I am enjoying it while I can! 
Movement: Yes! Every single day. It is the most amazing feeling. A few more weeks until Daddy can feel it too!
Yummy: Oatmeal, pears, and milk. 
Eww!: Not a whole lot....still not a huge fan of meat.
Symptoms: Heartburn and pretty sleepy this week.
Mood: Just so happy....feeling a strong bond now that we know we have a little girl on the way!
High of the week: Watching Justin's eyes well with tears as he opened the ultrasound envelope that said it was a girl. We had the ultrasound tech write the gender on a piece of paper and place it in an envelope. Then, we went out to dinner and opened it just the two of us while we ate at Mago (delicious Mexican downtown Arlington Heights) and celebrated. It was such an intimate way to find out, versus laying on the table covered in slime with a stranger in the room :) Not that that is a bad way to find out either- but since I had literally decided hours before, we thought this made it a bit more nostalgic. We are both so happy that we will soon be parents to a beautiful baby girl. Now the question is...will she be a blonde or a brunette?
Low of the week: Going back and forth all day Monday worrying about disappointing people if I decided to find out. Bottom line, I am a planner and don't know who I was kidding. Plus- as my awesome husband and awesome Dad reminded me- I have a  right to change my mind :) And I am so glad I did. I love picturing life with this little girl. She already has Justin wrapped around her little finger!
Most looking forward to: Planning the nursery and buying clothes- makes it a lot easier now that we know!
