Maternity clothes?
Still wearing maternity pants & continuing to squeeze this tummy in my normal shirts.
Sleep:
I probably get 2 nights a week where I can get a good night sleep; the rest are pretty restless & I toss and turn constantly.
Best moment this week:
Getting to see our baby boy at our 20 weeks anatomy ultrasound. He is a healthy boy - thank God!! I literally was in a daze just staring at him. He was stretching, moving around & he was trying to suck his thumb. I am so in love with him - I cannot wait until July.
Have you told family and friends:
Everyone knows & excited to meet him in July.
Miss Anything?
Sleep.

Just call me Big Momma !! I am getting so large. It is so bittersweet. I am so beyond grateful & thankful for this sweet baby boy. And the bigger my tummy gets, that just means that he is growing big & strong.
But with this being so new to me, I am insecure at the growth and largeness of my stomach. Like am I too big, am I going to get in trouble at doctor for weight gain? I am just constantly worried and happy all at once.
Gender prediction:
Little boy.
Labor Signs:
No
Belly Button in or out?

Happy or Moody most of the time:
I've been super emotional this week - happy, sad, overwhelmed, anxious. It is just part of this journey. I have had anxiety about my body growing at a rapid pace - I love that my belly is growing because it means that he is growing but it is hard because it seemed like it was overnight. I am also just constantly wondering what life will be like once he is here. And quite overwhelmed with everything that he needs & what we have to do before he gets here.
Also, the closer I get to July the more I become absolutely terrified of labor. Not the actual pain.. but what is going to happen to my body.
Looking forward to:
Putting up his little shelves in his room with decorations.
Starting to wash all his little clothes.
Setting up his cute little crib.
Our doctor's appointment next week (22 weeks) so we can meet another doctor in the practice & hear B's heartbeat.
