Bump Day Baby #2 - Week 20

(face gets covered after a 14 hour day)

• Baby is the size of banana (nana as Turner calls it).
• Halfway there...wow, just wow.
• Baby is practicing swallowing and digesting by gulping down ounces of amniotic fluid.
• We had our ultrasound yesterday and loved seeing our lil' miracle.
• Baby has 10 fingers and 10 toes...we got to see all the organs, his or her very nice long spine, and even his or her nose and lips.
• We looked away when the ultrasound tech looked at the bladder and groin area so that we would not accidentally see the gender. I don't think I would have known either way...but just to be safe we looked away.
• I have no idea if the ultrasound tech knows or saw the gender and I didn't want to ask. I am going to pretend she doesn't and that only God really knows.
• Baby was super active and moving so much. It was adorable. Arms moving around....kick legs, twisting and turning. The tech was finding it difficult to get some pictures because the baby was moving so much. 
• My doctor told me that the baby is already in the 83%ile for growth and so we will be monitoring that closely (I have no idea what that really means so I'll have to ask about it at my next appt).
• The baby measures at 21 weeks 1 day...but I don't think they plan on changing my due date.
• I've officially retired the belly band and non maternity clothes. It's just too uncomfortable. Thank gosh the weather is warming up because most of my maternity clothes are NOT winter friendly.
• Still no stretch marks and wedding rings still fit. I anticipate they will fit the entire pregnancy because they did with Turner and everything seems to be the exact same for this pregnancy.
• Getting only about 6-6.5 hours of sleep because of tax season. Deadline #1 is on Monday so I am hoping I can scale back a little bit with work so that my body has time to rest. Working 75 hour weeks is not ideal for a pregnant woman (or anyone for that matter).
• Started hitting up the gym again which my body thanks me for. I do 10 minutes of warm up cardio (elliptical, stair master or cycling) and then do some lifting of weights.
