HALFWAY TO 40

Most would say "I'm halfway done with this pregnancy", but my circumstances are a little different. I considered myself halfway done last week. Since I'll be having a c-section my doctor would like to schedule them at 38 weeks. (If they don't come on their own)  I say my "due date" is March 1, but really 38 weeks is February 15th. Which would work out GREAT because Matt comes home from work that day.

How far along? 20 weeks 3 days

According to What to expect when expecting: Baby is the size of: a banana!!

Total weight gain: total gain FOUR POUNDS!!! That's something to brag about!!! (For now)

Maternity clothes? yes. I wish I could wear my nightgown alllllll the time!!

Stretch marks? Still NO!!!

Sleep: well...it's 3 AM right now. I have heartburn and I can't get enough water. So nope no sleep tonight!!

Best moment this week: nothing exciting. Just moving along!

Last time you cried over something ridiculous:  haven't been emotional much either. 

Movement: here and there. Twin Girl was on top of Twin Boy by my lungs. I had a REALLY bad night one night and couldn't breathe. It felt like I was breathing through a straw. Horrible experience!!

Food cravings: not much lately. Still sweet stuff. Now I'm thinking about that DELICIOUS pumpkin bread sitting on my counter......

Anything making you queasy or sick: still the same...Mac and cheese, avocado

Labor Signs: Nope! Thats a good thing!

Symptoms: RLS, heartburn, insomnia, heavy belly, itchy skin...should I keep going???

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or Moody most of the time: This week I have been tolerable. (Again)

Looking forward to: CHEESE DIP CHAMPIONSHIP!!! This weekend with my BPF, Rachel! 

You pee an estimated ___ times a day: probably 8 or 9

Belly button in or out: it's working its way out. Lets call it flat. 

What's baby doing this week? Swallowing!

Best moment this week: I started feeling the babies with my hand! It's crazy because left baby will kick then right baby will kick.  It's like constant kicking going on!
