19 and 20 week update

19 & 20 weeks

Baby is the size of a:

Mango and then Banana, which I find incredibly weird, don't want a baby as skinny as a banana ;-)

Total weight gain:

1lbs on/off...it changes back and forth every day

Maternity Clothes?

A pair of maternity jeans, shopping for them was a nightmare and I ended up in tears in the changing rooms, hormones! The ones I ended up buying turned out not to be very comfortable but will have to do until I can brave going back to the shops

Stretch Marks?

No new ones yet

Sleep?

Pretty good, never even waking up to go use the bathroom

Best moment of the Week:

received my first baby present, a lovely outfit from a nanny friend

I've been feeling what I think might be tiny kicks, can't wait to feel stronger ones

Greasy food, burgers, fries...

Belly Button in or out:

In.

Lovely baby girl!

Nothing much

Have you Started to Show yet?

Some days I'm really bloated, but I still just look chubby, a friend called me 'tiny' today(considering I'm halfway through pregnancy)

Nothing

Going to Germany for Christmas

We couldn't be happier!

Now begins the battle of agreeing on a name, apparently all of my suggestions are too posh...

17 and 18 week update

I decided to combine 17 and 18 weeks as not much has happened really:

How far along:

17 & 18 weeks

Baby is the size of an:

First onion and now a sweet potato

 

 

Total weight gain:

none, which I find amazing, but to be honest it's not unusual when you start a bit heavier

The box of German Christmas goodies that arrived in the post today might change this though...

17 weeks

 

 

18 weeks

 

 

Maternity Clothes?

None yet, but really need to get some jeans as mine as starting to become very uncomfortable and the hair tie is no longer doing the trick

Stretch Marks?

No new ones

Sleep?

Have been trying to sleep on my left side as it's best for the baby but I just don't find it comfortable and keep waking up on my back
 

Best moment of the Week:

Attending our gender scan with my partner, it was the first time she was able to come along to a scan and I think she quite enjoyed it. Baby had hiccups which was cute to watch. The little monkey was a bit shy at first keeping the legs closed but we found out we're having a .... stay tuned ;-)

Movement:

Still nothing

Food Cravings:

Still meat and the other night I really wanted cucumbers

Belly Button in or out:

In

Gender:

Will be revealed soon!

Symptoms:

Nothing really, I don't feel anything at all other than some ligament pain/stretching pains every now and again and the odd bit of queasiness, but my tight jeans don't help with that

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?

It's random what makes me feel queasy really but it's nothing like it was in the first trimester, so I just accept it

Have you Started to Show yet?

No, just look like I need to really start a diet 

What I miss:

Sleeping on my back

What I'm looking forward to:

My next scan at 20 weeks

What I'm not looking forward to:

Telling work that I'm pregnant, so still the same
