20 Weeks update
How far along: 20 weeks! 140 days down, 140 to go!
Symptoms: Heartburn!!!!!! and tingly hands that fall asleep when I'm in bed! I've heard that can happen...just not used to it! Also having hip pains, again, extremely common. The hormone relaxin (in every pregnancy, but higher in some women) softens your bones making room for baby and preparing for labor...well mine is high and my hips etc. hurt a lot. Tylenol does the trick. Also, Matt reminding me I am pregnant and shouldn't be doing all that I try to do helps as well!
Maternity Clothes: Matt and I went to the outlets last weekend and picked up a bunch of cute fall and winter-y ones! :) So fun!
Stretch Marks: Despite the cocoa butter and other "miracle creams"...already getting some above the belly button...I'm not too worried though :)
Sleep: Sleeping great!
Best Moment Last Week: Finding out we are having a BOY! Also watching Matt paint the room and put together the dresser/changing table so I could put the clothes in it (they were taking over my closet!) I love that it's starting to be a nursery and no longer and office/spare bedroom!
Movement: Oh yes! Again when I eat or after my tummy growls real loud. Baby boy is saying "FEEEEEED ME!"
Food Cravings: Milk. More milk. Tons of milk. I am going through a gallon in 2 days.
What I miss: Still sleeping on my back. Also being able to stand up out of bed and not ROLL over the edge.
What am I looking forward to: Well, non baby-related, we are going to Jimmy Buffett this weekend here in VA right near our place! Our good friends are coming down from MD and PA to go with us and stay over! YAY! Also, our 4 year dating anniversary is tomorrow! And in a week, our 1-year anniversary is coming!!
Milestones: Passed the halfway mark! Oh yeah, we picked a name...will be revealed soon!
How is Daddy? : Hmm...tired! He's been working a lot and sleeping little! (Just getting used to when the baby comes!) He has started to read our collection of books to the baby at night, it's so cute. Last night was "Green eggs and Ham". :)
have a good one!
-Bre and Matt and Baby Boy Bogert
