{b}U{m}PDATE: 20-21 weeks

I had my 20 week appointment two wednesdays ago {June 20th} 

Everything looked great! The baby was healthy and developing properly.

I was measuring a little small- 19 weeks & 2 days. 

I have gained 14 pounds from my pre pregnancy weight {I'm sure it's quite a bit more now}. 

It was so much fun to see the babe on that little ultrasound screen. I could stare at it all day everyday. 

It just melts my little heart. Tyler loved it too. He was all smiles the whole time. 

The day before my appointment I learned I can't stop taking Zofran. I thought I was okay to not take it anymore cause I had been feeling so great, but I learned the hard way early tuesday morning. I started throwing up around 6 am and continued about every thirty minutes till 12:30ish.  I was having a terribly sharp stomach pain with it as well and I hadn't felt that before so we were a little concerned as was my doctor. So we Went in to the office so I could get prescribed more Zofran and to make sure that pain wasn't an indication of something serious. Luckily it wasn't. I just pulled a stomach muscle from vomiting so much. Once I got the Zofran in me along with some food I was back to great again. 

I cannot tell you how grateful I am for that little pill. It's magical.

Our doctor here in Louisiana is absolutely wonderful. We love him so much. He is a very sweet, christian man. He kept saying he hopes God changes our plans because he really wants to deliver our baby. He is just the sweetest and funny too. I am excited for my next appointment. 

I was worried that the doctor wouldn't care about me because I was just going to be here for a couple of visits but he is probably the most caring doctor I've ever had & it makes me so happy.

I started feeling the baby at 20 weeks, or thats when I began to realize those flutters were the baby. I think I really started feeling the baby move around 18 weeks maybe and just didn't realize it.

The babe moves a lot now! 

Tyler got to feel it for the first time last week & it was an exciting moment for us! 

I am absolutely in love with feeling the baby move. I never want it to end. I'm positive I am going to miss it once the baby is well and born. 

I still haven't had any cravings. I just have to eat often. 

I am still incredibly thirsty all the time and nothing is better than water. 

Smells don't typically bother me.

Other than my growing belly I really don't feel all that pregnant. I just feel like myself for the most part. 

I don't get all that tired and seem to have a lot of energy most of the time.

I am still exercising a little- light weight lifting and some swimming for cardio.  

I feel like I have grown a lot this past week and that I have kind of popped. I am definitely starting to look pregnant to others now.  I am so excited for this belly to keep growing. I have been so anxious about it the whole time. I love pregnant bellies. They are beautiful.
