Weeks 17-20

Size of baby: onion --> sweet potato --> mango --> banana. December 23-January 13. I reached the halfway point carrying Baby Dub #2 on Gabriel's 2nd birthday!!!

Gender: Perry and I went for the official anatomy ultrasound at 20 weeks exactly... the specialist was right! We're having a little GIRL!!!!! Georgia Jane :) 

Total Weight Gain: 9 pounds.

Maternity Clothes: Maternity pants and a mix of regular & maternity tops. I got several new tops for Christmas!

Movement: On January 2, I woke up to pee around 7am and had trouble falling back asleep. As I was rolling over in bed, I felt my stomach get tight like Georgia was pushing up to the surface, and I felt her kick for the first time!! Then later that same day, as Perry & I were getting into bed, I could feel her moving around again so I had Perry put his hand on my stomach to feel her!! Since then, she is most active early in the morning and late at night.

What I miss: Nothing specific.

Symptoms:
Week 17- Tired, headaches.
Week 18- Dry, itchy skin. Persistent nausea is gone! Getting up during the night to pee started.
Week 19- One episode of sudden nausea, then I vomited. I think it was the 3 clementines I ate on an empty stomach...
Week 20- Felt pretty good! Yay!

Doctor's Appointment:
Her heart rate was 143 at my 20 week appointment and she measured 19w6d on ultrasound- right on track!

Cravings: Pickles.

Best moments: Christmas! Our big boy Gabriel's 2nd birthday!!! Seeing our precious baby again. Her heart rate was 143 and she measured right on track (just 1 day "small").

What we are looking forward to: Gabe's party; working on our registry... for girly stuff!; setting up the nursery.
