Total weight gain: 14lbs! WHEW big gain since the last update.
Maternity clothes? Absolutely!
Sleep: Off and on. So much better this past week. We have been in bed by 8:30 during the week and that is really helping us stay energized through out the days.
Best moment this week: Hearing sweeties heartbeat! We had an appointment and they said weight gain and belly measurement is all on pace and everything is looking good.
Miss Anything? I would love to stuff my face with some serious raw sushi.

21&22
How far along: 21 & 22 weeks
Total weight gain: not sure, last appointment was up 7.
Maternity clothes? All day everyday
Sleep: Sleep has gotten better during the last few days!
Best moment this week: So many people have got to feel baby kick and I just love it. Baby is moving so much especially after dinner. We even got it on video which was so cool!
Miss Anything? Walking fast! I am a fast walker and I have had to slow down a lot to be more comfortable. Oh how God is using this to come after my heart.
Cravings/Aversions: Water! I can't get enough water.
Symptoms: Calf cramps every night! I got a nasty cold this week, but thankfully it only lasted a few days. Indigestion.
Gender prediction: Girl? Boy? We have no idea. Depends on the day. We have had dreams of both and Conrad said yesterday he thinks it is a girl for some reason. Time will tell. :) I am not sure if I feel anything, but can picture a boy or girl coming into our life and making it sweeter.
Weird stuff: Guys my belly button is looking super weird and almost flat now. rings are still on for now!
Looking forward to: Babymoon next weekend 😍

19&20 Weeks
We had our 20 week anatomy scan and left on cloud 9. My belly is measuring 3 weeks ahead and baby's measuring ahead as well about a week, although its legs are over 2 weeks ahead- measuring 22 weeks 5 days. The ultrasound tech said, "Well, looks like you are going to have a tall baby." Taking after daddy already :)
We got to see hands, feet, legs, arms, eyes, nose, lips and a lot more. It was so cool to see the baby kicking so hard and moving around.
I can't believe we are over halfway done with our pregnancy. God has truly blessed us with this sweet baby.
How far along: 19&20 Weeks! HALF WAY!
Total weight gain: up 7lbs
Maternity clothes? Yes!
Sleep: Not sleeping the best anymore, very uncomfortable on my sides.
Best moment this week: Conrad getting to feel the sweetest babe move! Such a cool moment! My mom and aunt also came into town this past weekend and my mom got to feel baby move too. Such special memories I will treasure forever!
Miss Anything? SLEEP! I used to fall asleep and not wake up until morning, now I am up around 3AM every day. It could be a lot worse though!
Symptoms: Calf cramps in the middle of the night- ouch! Less sleep.
Looking forward to: Our baby shower and finding out gender next month!

17&18 weeks
It's been a long few weeks, I have been having some distinct sharp pains that were concerning to Conrad and I, and to my doctor so after going through a lot of tests and ultrasounds I was able to get some medicine and it took the pain right away.
Total weight gain: 2.5lbs
Maternity clothes? Absolutely!! I am so close to not being able to wear my pre-pregnancy jeans anymore with my bellyband.
Sleep: Getting more uncomfortable as the weeks pass on.
Best moment this week: Pain relief after seeing the doctor! Feeling baby move finally on 9/20 (18 weeks 2 days)
Worst moment this week: The pain and scare that something could be wrong, thankfully baby is so fine and growing like a weed, in fact they said baby is measuring a week ahead- when they told us that Conrad cheered with joy.
Cravings/Aversions: Not really any cravings right now.
Symptoms: Low sharp pelvic pain, round ligament pain, less sleep, sweet baby movements, hair and nails growing so fast!
Looking forward to: 20 week anatomy scan coming up in a few weeks!

13 & 14 weeks
How far along: 13 and 14 weeks
Total weight gain: Haven't weighed myself since last doctors appointment
Maternity clothes? Heck yes I love them! Just ordered a few new pairs of pants from Old Navy. Still fitting into my regular jeans, just using the hair tie trick to keep them buttoned. I also tried the belly band this week and it is AMAZING!
Sleep: A few weird dreams these weeks, but sleeping so great. School started so we are so tired by the end of the day!
Best moment this week: Meeting my new kiddos and seeing my old students. It is so nice to be back in the swing of things. It's also so much fun having Conrad in the same school and we have lunch together and it has just been amazing.
Worst moment this week: Throwing up stuffed crust pizza YUCK & up all night sick one night.
Cravings/Aversions: I really really wanted pink starburst one day at school! Also still loving cottage cheese and tomatoes.
Symptoms: I am feeling good, finally feeling ready to go on nightly walks again with Conrad and grigs. I have hit three buckets of soft toss this week and NO BACK PAIN which is so refreshing!
Looking forward to: seeing my belly continue to grow and finding out the gender soon! Such a cool and fun process!
