20 weeks & "big" ultrasound

Today was our 20 week anatomy scan. The tech was amazing! She explained everything as she was looking at it. We got to see her kidneys, heart, stomach, bladder, etc. She was already being a little stubborn (just like her Daddy, hehe) and we couldn't see the out going ventricles of her heart. The nurse wasn't concerned and said they would just check them at the next appointment. She also confirmed we are still having a girl! When the nurse was looking at our little girl's arm, she flexed it and we got a great picture! I'll try to add them tonight from home. Baby girl Lewis currently weighs 10 ounces and she said she would expect her to double in size by our next appointment!

How far along? 20 weeks 3 days

Total weight gain/loss: About 11 lbs. The books say I should be gaining one pound a week from here on out! That seems like a lot though! Trying not to gain too fast!

Stretch marks? None- and hopefully it stays that way.

Sleep: Well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Snoggle (pregnancy body pillow) for Valentine's Day. It seems like no matter how I fall asleep, I wake up on my back and my hands are asleep. Here's hoping!

Best moment this week: We put together the hutch and changing tower for her nursery! The painting is finished. Getting the carpet from Lowe's has been a bit of a nightmare but hopefully they will come and finish the closet sometime this week. It's really starting to come together.

Movement: I feel her wiggle around everyday, probably about 2-3 times a day. Addam still hasn't felt her yet though. Every time he puts his hand on my tummy she stops moving!

Food cravings: Still nothing that I just have to have but I pretty much eat all the time. Oh wait, I did that before I was pregnant! :)

Gender: GIRL!

Labor Signs: None at all and hopefully not for a long time!

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach

What I am looking forward to: Still the same thing- picking out her name! I think we've narrowed it down to two names but we don't agree on the spelling for either one!!

Weekly Wisdom: I got so much help from my friends that already have babies when it came time to register. Libbie and Cortney answered a lot of questions!

Milestones: We registered! It took way longer than I thought. We'll still probably read reviews and change a few things before it comes time for my shower but it's a great start.
