Halfway There!

This week I am 20 weeks pregnant. I cannot believe how fast the first 20 weeks have flown by. I know the second 20 weeks will be over before I know it and we will be holding our baby girl. Here is a brief  summary of my pregnancy so far (mostly for my own records because I am not keeping any kind of pregnancy journal)...


  • At 20 weeks I have gained 6 pounds.
  • I am wearing some of my maternity clothes and some of my regular clothes.
  • Luckily, I haven't had any morning sickness at all (except for my 48 hour stomach bug).
  • I have had a little bit of dizziness, especially when I stand in place for a long time or am hot.
  • I sometimes have trouble sleeping. 
  • In my first trimester I craved chocolate milk and pizza.
  • I haven't had any specific cravings in my second trimester, however, I did notice that our Dairy Queen will soon have Orange Julius drinks and I may have driven through the parking lot several times to see if the "coming soon" signs were gone yet so that I could get an Orange Julius...Kip even went through the drive-thru one night to ask when they would have them.
  • I started feeling a few little flutters during week 18, but starting at week 19 I could feel our little acrobat all the time. She moves around a lot...it's a crazy feeling. 
  • We start our Prepared Childbirth classes this coming Saturday (we are doing 2 full Saturdays instead of 6-8 weeks for a couple of hours at a time because of Kip's work schedule). 
I think that's about all for now. I will post a 20 week belly picture later this week.
