20 Weeks

Sorry for the exhausted look! Forrest took this picture for me after I spent the day in Apopka!

Weight gain: +6 lb 

Maternity clothes: I'm wearing mostly maternity clothes...same 'ole same 'ole but I did buy a few new things this week. 

Stretch marks: Yes! Teeny tiny ones have been spotted on the back of my left calf! I'm not sure what this is about?

Sleep: I'm starting to get uncomfortable at night if I'm not in just the right position. In order to be comfortable, I have to lay on my left side with the body pillow in between my legs and under my belly. 

Best moment this week: The most exciting thing recently is how excited Forrest is getting about my growing belly. I will walk past him and he will tell me to show him my belly. He always rubs it and says "our baby's growing."       

Miss Anything: Falling asleep at night and not waking until the morning! (Don't get me wrong I still sleep like a champ for the most part!)

Movement: I usually feel kicks inside about 2-3 times a day! I have starting feeling a "tapping" right at my belly button then a few second later very low. I'm wondering if Aiden is doing flips in there?
Food cravings: This week all I want is Publix BBQ Rotissurrie Chicken, Salads, Milk and lots of pears/apples!
