....but seriously, we are halfway there! ALREADY!!!!! 20 weeks! here is the photographic evidence to prove that my belly officially enters a room before i do.
How Far Along: 20 weeks! halfway there!!!!!
Size of baby: baby ben is the size of a small cantelope {10.5 oz and 6.5 inches!}
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 10 pounds! holy moly!
Maternity Clothes: bring on the maternity pants and sundresses!! still wearing my old tops but those elastic waistbands and flowy dresses are my best friend these days :)
Gender: it's a boy!!!! Benjamin Ryan Murphy, we can't wait to meet you!!!!
What I miss: sleeping on my belly!
Cravings: grapefruit and cereal! and i'm not gonna lie, if you offered me a chocolate chip cookie, i'd be hard pressed to say no ;) hint hint.
Symptoms: sciatica! thanks to the laxity of my muscles from the first time around and ben's position....i get treated to funny tingly feelings in my leg. lovely. thank goodness for body pillows and the most wonderful husband ever {who has totally perfected the way i have to be "tucked in" with all my pillows at night!}
Best Moment this week: feeling ben's continued acrobatics ~ his kicks and jabs have turned into full on twists and rolls and the little dude loves to move!!! the way emma hugs and kisses my belly. making it to the gym regularly....really helps the sciatica. we are looking forward to seeing our little man on the big screen again next week!!!
all in all, i feel great. some minor aches and pains here and there.....but despite having done this just once before, i'm totally amazed at the process and the way our bodies are made for this!! it is truly magical.
here's hoping the next 20 weeks will be as easy as the first.....hey, a girl can dream right?? ;)
