20 Weeks and Button's Name

Button's a BOY!  And his name is: Jackson David Hill
Jackson (according to the interwebs) means "God has been gracious; has shown us favor"
David means "beloved."
 
This week, Button is the size of a: banana (and almost weighs a pound)!

How far along? 20 weeks

Due date: August 26, 2013

Total weight gain/loss: I ended up losing a total of 10 pounds in the first trimester and I've almost gained it all back!  141lbs 

Maternity clothes? Nope.  I did buy a maternity bra extender, however.  And when I tried to wear pants yesterday and they refused to button (I am usually always in dresses/skirts).

Sleep:  Wake up at least once a night to tinkle.  Wake up frequently to roll over.

Best moment this week: Reminiscing with hubby over our engagement anniversary (is that even a thing?).  And finalizing the name of our child!

Movement: he's moving in there!  I'd felt little flutters but now I'm feeling frequent bite-sized kicks daily!  I love it.

Food cravings: salty things still.  a box of candy or two thrown in.  potatoes.  had a strong craving for semi-burnt hot-dogs that was FULFILLED!

Food aversions:  not as much as the first trimester.  I'm still not a fan of mean (especially sea food) and I'm still not feeling my former favorite food of french fries.


Symptoms: some nausea still; stretching in my uterus; slight back pain; having to pee


Gender: It's a BOY!


Labor Signs: Thank goodness no!


Belly Button in or out? Strangely seems filled with something...it's weird.


Feeling toward Pregnancy: I hate it a LOT LESS!  I'm excited and feeling J move makes it feel way more real!  I feel encouraged by his kicks.  =)


What I miss: I still hate having to eat so much and so often and not knowing what will taste good today.  And there's so many things you can't do when you're pregnant that I didn't think of.  Ex: roller coasters!  BUT I do get to create a brand new life inside of me so...there's that.=)


What I am looking forward to: Hubby being able to feel him move too.


Milestones: Choosing baby's name

Daddy says:  "Daddy's jealous of mom because mom can feel Jackson.  But I look forward to seeing my boy face to face."
