19/20 week stats.

how far along? 20 weeks, 3 days
total weight gain/loss? -1 pounds
maternity clothes? loving tank tops, shorts and maxidresses. thanks terri!
stretch marks?
nope
sleep? right now, i'm going three or four nights with very restless sleep followed by one night of GREAT sleep. my mind keeps racing to b's big boy room, blt's room, organizing the garage and folding laundry. i need to learn a new way to relax.... whatever i'm doing isn't working.
best moment this week? well, since we're doing 19 and 20 weeks, i guess i can say when we found out it was a baby girl! yay! but - we've also had two babies born this week that i've just loved holding.... AND it was great deciding on our name. {watch for the big reveal next!}
movement? yes, yes, yes!!! little miss apparently thinks that everything within reach is a punching bag. b was totally not like this - and i like to think that he's a pretty laid back boy, so i'm wondering how feisty this little girl is going to be - based on her dancing in my tummy alone!
food cravings? same as last week: anything cold. ice cream, popsicles, slurpees, smoothies, ice water. cold cold cold.
gender predictions? i'll take this one out next week - but in case you haven't seen it yet - we're having a girl!
what i miss: NOT having braxton hicks contractions 24/7. these things are way more annoying than i remember them being last time!
what i'm looking forward to: getting started on b's big boy room and the nursery. getting {and feeling} organized. making bows, tutus, bibs and burp cloths. painting something for b's room. organizing blt's closet. b. making a picture for the nursery. having energy to cook really good meals again. the holidays with two kiddos 'running' around. {can you see why i'm not sleeping?}
how are you feeling? fabulous. occasionally i'll feel like there is a lot of pressure - as if i'm at 34 weeks or something, but for the most part, i feel great.
comparisons to last pregnancy? i don't know what else to compare - i feel like this pregnancy is completely and totally different. i think it's due to so many reasons, but all in all, i'm enjoying this so much more.
milestones? i bought blt's first clothes last week. we had a box of clothes for 'baby madeline' - who we thought we were having before brady last time. so i brought those out too - but i thought she really needed something that was TRULY her own... so i went to target. :) i made my first bow. i've started my first tutu - a christmas one, i might add. we decided on a name on monday. oh, and the hubbs opened a 'wedding' account at the bank yesterday. so blt officially has $100 for her wedding. :)
