20 Weeks -Halfway there

This week I am twenty weeks pregnant. So far this has been the most that I have looked and felt pregnant (naturally right?). All of the sudden my pregnant tummy seems to be more pronounced and bending down to get things has been easier. I suppose there is more of this to come?

Pregnancy has been really interesting. Once I got past 12-14 weeks I started feeling normal again and not so tired and wiped out. I've been feeling pretty good for the past six weeks. In the mornings when I get to school I am rather hyper. This is without any caffeine whatsoever.

I've also started eating two breakfasts, but after talking to people it sounds like I am eating a normal sized breakfast now. Pre- pregnancy I would just eat a fiber one bar and that would hold me until lunch. Now I am eating my fiber one bar in the car on the way to work. Then, when I get to work I get my classroom ready and then I eat a bowl of cereal. It's quite convenient since I keep bowls in my classroom and the cafeteria has milk.

People ask if I have had any cravings. I do, but it's not like any typical cravings I imagined having like pickles, watermelon, eating something salty or sweet. Whenever it's time to eat I often think gravy sounds good. G-R-A-V-Y yum yum! I'm fine eating whatever, but gravy always sounds even better, no matter what.

When we go out to eat and my husband tries to tell me to pick where to go, I just tell him you pick, because not matter what this baby is always going to pick gravy. Anything I eat will taste good, but the baby wants gravy.

Here I am twenty weeks pregnant, plus our fur baby, Swarley.



We went to the doctor this week for the twenty week ultra sound and came back with these pictures.

Our photo of the gender is being with held at this time. Most of our family is clued in, but we are waiting to tell the internet for now.
