week 20

Week: 20

P Size: About the length of a banana.

Total Weight Gain/loss: 13

Stretch Marks: none

Maternity Clothes?: Yep, still no shirts but pants are a yes!

Sleep: Only had a few nights of sleep effected because of my hip/butt pain.

Movement: Much stornger movement on the outside.

What I Miss: not feeling huge. I am loving being pregnant but it sure is different to have a belly! Plus I lose my breath very easliy.

Status of the Button: Swallow but in.

What I'm Looking Forward to: Prenatal Yoga! Sharon and I went last Sunday and we are now making it a weekly date. I loved it! Last week the instructor really focused on stretching and opening the hips. I needed that so much with the pain I have had in that area! Plus it reminded me that I need to take time for myself and the baby and make it a priority to go to Yoga and work out during the week!

Best Moment this Week: Feeling very strong kicks on the outside! On Monday (10/22) Little P was kicking or jumping off of my left hip bone and it was so strong on the outside. I think Warren could have felt it if he wasn;t still half a sleep.

Preggers Bod-New and Exciting!..maybe?: Nothing new here.

P Milestones: 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).

Food Cravings: Cheese.

I have been indulging a little to much in the sweets department which I think is showing in my weight gain. I have vowed this week to focus more on my health for the sake of Little P and myself through this amazing journey.

Warren, Grandma, Grandpa, and Ronpa worked ont he house this weekend. Ronpa took lots of junk left from great grandma and pa and also some contruction trash. Warrena dn Grandpa finished the pantry and moved the china hitch into the dining room. We are trying har dto get the upstairs done before Little P comes into the outside world.

It is now fall in Anchorage. With the wind and rain we have had many of the trees are alreayd missing most of there leaves. It is getting cold really quick and it has already snowed once which is crazy!
