20 Weeks

Week: 20

Baby Size: About 6.5 inches or the size of a banana.

Movement: She gave me a few hard kicks this week. I could even see my belly move from the outside. One especially hard one was when I was standing in the checkout line at Target - I couldn't believe how hard she kicked me!

Gender: It's a little lady!

Food Cravings: Spicy parmesan shrimp pasta. It's so good.

Food Aversions: None really, but I probably won't be eating salad or uncooked vegetables for a while after a recall scare this weekend.

What I Miss: Not being able to eat things freely without worrying if it's going to harm the baby.

Looking Forward To: Adam being able to finally feel the baby kicks. I've tried, but he just says he can't tell the difference between the kicks and his hand twitching or my belly moving from breathing.

Best Moment of the Week: My parents came out to visit and we went out for Adam's birthday to one of his favorite restaurants and then we came home and had paczki for dessert.

19 Weeks

Week: 19

Baby Size: About 6 inches or the size of a mango.

Movement: This week I can definitely tell that the baby is moving. She seems to be most active in the morning and later on in the day. I get a bunch of kicks all in a row!

Gender: It's a little lady!

Food Cravings: Reese's peanut butter eggs and pizza again. UGH.

Food Aversions: There are things that just don't sound appealing, but I steer clear of whatever it is that doesn't sound good to me at the moment.

What I Miss: Sushi and alcohol. Still.

Looking Forward To: Feeling some real baby kicks, not just soft pokes, and having Adam feel them too.

Best Moment of the Week: Getting to see our active little girl on the ultrasound!

18 Weeks

Week: 18

Baby Size: About 5.6 inches or the size of a sweet potato.

Movement: Same as before. It's tough to tell what is baby and what isn't.

Gender: Don't know yet! Our appointment is this week!

Food Cravings: Reese's peanut butter eggs! Easter is coming.

Food Aversions: Nothing really.

What I Miss: Sushi and alcohol. Two things I couldn't have on my vacation this past weekend. :'(

Looking Forward To: Finding out the gender!

Best Moment of the Week: Being able to take a vacation to Florida and just relax. We had a great time walking around the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival.

17 Weeks

Week: 17

Baby Size: About 5.1 inches or the size of an onion.

Movement: Sometimes I think I can feel a kick, but I honestly don't even know what they feel like.

Gender: Don't know yet! We just scheduled the appointment for March 19th. Hopefully the baby cooperates.

Food Cravings: Skittles and Chinese food (terrible, I know).

Food Aversions: Nothing really.

What I Miss: Not having sore hips/back in the morning when I get up.

Looking Forward To: My upcoming trips. I'm really looking forward to warm weather.

Best Moment of the Week: Finally packing up and moving the stuff out of our condo. It's been a long time coming and hopefully that means we'll find a place here soon.
