Oh Boy... or Girl?

We are 20 weeks pregnant and Monday is the BIG Day!  Well... not "the" big day but close.  We get to find out if we are having a little miss or a little man :-)

So far our mother's are guessing it might be a girl.  I have two younger brothers... Alex is certain it is a boy and he will teach him how to play soccer before he is able to walk.  He says that our little boy will be the next Lionel Messi :-).  David, however, is certain we are having a little girl.

What is YOUR prediction?  Don't forget to cast your vote!  

(Our survey is on the top right hand of the blog... but it is only visible when viewing our blog on an actual computer).

How far along? 20 weeks.

Total weight gain/loss: Around 9lbs.  I keep thinking wow... that is too much isn't it?  Nope, when I do the math or look at the weight gain by week calculators I'm right on target.  Phew

Maternity clothes? Of course!  Although some of my yoga pants are getting uncomfortable because the waist band is getting too snug :-(

Stretch marks? Nope!

Sleep: Still sleeping great - minus the frequent trips to the bathroom and the bizarre dreams

Best moment this week:  Same as last week.. I feel our baby move a lot more now than I did a few weeks ago :-)  I love feeling little nudges throughout the day.

Miss Anything? Not really, I was at a training for work and they had a large salad bar for lunch... the meat was all deli meat.  I miss not being able to eat some things safety when thats all I have as options.

Movement: Yes :-) Usually morning and evening I feel nudges and what I can only assume are flips and sometimes in the afternoon I will feel a few here or there if I am sitting down.

Food cravings: I am just coming off of my lemonade kick (still sounds pretty tasty) so I am sure within a few days I will have something new I want to eat every day.  

Anything making you queasy or sick: I can't eat ice cream :-(  I know, right?  It just gives me awful nausea/indigestion so I have just given up on it.  I have an unopened pint of Ben and Jerry's "Everything But The..." that Jake bought me a few weeks ago but haven't been able to eat it. 

Have you started to show yet: Most definitely   I think finally this week I look like I have a belly in a normal T-shirt instead of just looking chubby although it may still is a toss up.  I had my first person acknowledge my pregnancy that didn't know me at Costco this week :-)  

Gender: We will find out tomorrow :-)  I plan to have a snack shortly before and bring a bottle of ice water just incase our little miss or mister needs some encouraging to move around.

Size of baby: Banana or Mango (Around 6.5 inches from head to bottom... they start measuring head to feet after 20 weeks)

Weight of baby: About 10 ounces 

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!... and Hungry?  This week it seems like I am always hungry.  I am trying to eat healthy and have lots of fruits, nuts, cheese for my many snacks.   My mom and I ate lunch at Pancheros on Friday before our Costco trip, and she thought it was hilarious that before she had even half of her burrito finished my plate was clean.  She told everyone "it was the first time I'd ever seen that child finish a plate of food in her life."  What can I say... baby's hungry!

Looking forward to: Our Ultrasound tomorrow!  I can't wait to get to see our little one, our first ultrasound at Mid-Iowa fertility was at 4 and 6 weeks to make sure we had a viable pregnancy and baby was no bigger than a little blob on the screen with a barely able to see flicker of a heart beat.... oh yeah and finding out if it is a boy or a girl ;-)
