we've hit the half way mark in this pregnancy, and i say we cause we're all in this together! ;) i'm technically 21 weeks now and we have t-minus 18 weeks until baby girl arrives.... or maybe sooner if she wants to be like her sister olive! ;)
baby girl is the size of a large carrot. my favorite baby app to track this pregnancy is the 'what to expect' app. i went and bought my first pair of maternity jeans a couple weeks ago for when i'm not wearing my amazing align pants from lulu lemon. i found that h&m has a really great selection of maternity clothes all around. i loved everything i saw!
we had our 20 week big anatomy ultra sound last week and it was so fun to see her!! i am so obsessed with her already and imagine holding her in my arms all the time! she was in a very uncomfortable position the entire time (see photo above!!) she was a bit incorporative and the doctor wasn't able to see everything she wanted so i get to go back next week! (insert clapping emoji!) we learned that she has been extremely low, in fact basically right behind my incision from my previous c sections hence the reason i have barely been feeling anything but flutters (if anything at all!) luckily this week she has been kicking a lot more and i have been feeling it which i am loving!! dave and i went to see power rangers over the weekend, baby was moving around in there like crazy and dave was able to feel it for the first time!! yayyy!! olive was able to feel her kick this morning as well and she was in heaven!!
best moment of the week? being able to feel her move. i haven't really been craving anything specific except dr. pepper. i am definitely getting nice and plump, and i've gained just about 20 pounds already. i expect to gain at least 20 more! i gained about 50ish pounds with scotti lou and only 20 with olive!! although it's not my favorite, it's not a big deal to me. i know i will be able to lose the weight once baby girl arrives! and stretch marks? still no new ones! i have been using coconut oil all over to help prevent anything new!
