Halfway There - 20 Weeks!

This week, Baby H is the length of a banana - 10 inches from head to heel. I'm halfway through my pregnancy at this point and as of the anatomy scan last week, everything is looking perfect.

New this week: The kicks are getting much stronger. He really likes the sensation of being in the car, because that is when I feel the strongest kicks and for the longest periods of time. I can already see glimpses into my future of putting the baby in the car seat and driving loops around our development just to get him to sleep. Uh oh. 

How I'm feeling: Awesome and tired at the same time. I haven't had caffeine in 20 weeks, so I can't depend on that afternoon cup to get me through the rest of the day. But I shouldn't complain about being tired because I truly feel wonderful other than that! 

Food: I can't get enough of peanut butter. Smoothies, apples dipped in it, PB ice cream, yum! It's tricky to find the "healthier" versions of PB, but in moderation, the baby and I are really enjoying all things peanut butter. This has been pretty constant throughout my entire pregnancy, so when people ask me what I've been craving, this is really the only answer that I have for them. 

Movement: Yes - and now Kevin can feel it (not that often, but if his hand is on my belly at the right times, he can feel him!) 

What I miss: Not much this week :) 

Most looking forward to: I look forward to the weekends the most lately. We've been catching up with a lot of friends and I find that to be the most enjoyable on my time off from work. I'm really lucky to have such amazing friends in my life! 


BUMP ALERT - Here is my 20 week belly picture!!
