21 Weeks

How far along: 21 weeks
Gender: girl, Rebecca Carolyn Haley
Weight gain: -12 pounds
Maternity clothes: Yes, please! Current rocking a really cute black maternity maxi dress!
Stretch marks: Nope
Belly button in or out: In, however, I can definitely tell a difference in it's depth.
Sleep: Again, yes please! Loving my sleepy time.
Best moment this week: Seeing Andrew's reaction to the 20 weeks ultrasound. He hasn't been able to make a doctor's visit since December and oh how this sweet girl has changed! It was so sweet to see the delight and surprise on his precious face.

Worst moment this week:Sciatic pain is real. Luckily, I've gotten some nice advice from fellow mommas and a chiropractor and I'm finding some relief.
Miss anything:Usually this is my place to complain about missing booze, BUT I found a delicious sorbet at Jeni's Ice Cream-Reisling Pear. Jesus Mary and Joseph. It hit the spot.
Movement: YES! Even from the outside! Poor Andrew hasn't been able to feel it (he has to learn some patience haha), but my sister has and one of my sweet girls at school did too!
Cravings: Orange Juice. Yum.
Queasy or sick: My heartburn has returned and I've had a few mishaps from it, but otherwise still doing well.
Looking forward to: My cousin Jana and my baby girls growing up together! Jana is the closest in age to me in my huge extended family. We grew up together and I'm so excited for our girls to grow up together too! She is due one day after me and I can't wait for Becca and Monroe to meet!

20 Weeks

How far along: 20 weeks
Gender: girl, Rebecca Carolyn Haley
Weight gain: -15 pounds, still. I attribute it to my need for salad and fruit.
Maternity clothes: 100% of the time. Trying to skimp by wearing non-maternity shirts, but usually it doesn't work out. They just aren't long enough to cover the elastic waistband.
Stretch marks: No! I put the lotion on the skin every day.
Belly button in or out: In
Sleep: Like a freaking angel. I've been feeling more energized lately (Thank you Jesus) but am usually in bed around 9.
Best moment this week: Friday night while laying in bed, I made Andrew poke my belly and leave his hand there hoping he would feel her moving. He didn't feel it, but I sure could! She would kick right where his hand was! I'm calling this our first family interaction. It was so cool!
Worst moment this week:Monday. I'll leave it at that.
Miss anything:TMI Time! Normal bras. I'm having a hard time accepting my recent...developments.
Movement: YES!
Cravings: Food in general. I've been hungry this week.
Queasy or sick: Randomly sick. I think I've been bragging about not being sick too much and karma came back around. Even still, I will take the occasional sickness over constant puking any day.
Looking forward to: 20 weeks ultrasound on a nicer machine! I'm hoping for clearer pictures! Also, getting in to my exercise routine. Andrew and I are joining a gym as his valentine's present. I'm hoping to get moving and help me stay in better shape to prepare for Becca's arrival.
