It's All Downhill from Here!

We've reached the halfway point in this pregnancy. I am officially 20 weeks pregnant (even though I'm almost 22 week as I write this...) The last few weeks have been a little rough (see previous post), but I'm hoping we are through the worst of it.

20 weeks...not loving this picture, but it'll do!

Biggest Cravings: I have been craving gummy worms & cottage cheese (just not together)! I've also been dreaming about Red Bean's Bayou Grill & their Firecracker Pasta. They're officially closed now, but I did get a chance to have one last taste!
Biggest Food Aversions: None!
Clothes: The past few weeks, my staples have been t-shirts and shorts. Pretty fancy stuff.
Body: Since 3 complete strangers asked about my pregnancy this week, I'd say there's no hiding it! Time to embrace the bump!
Energy/Mood: I've been super sick (see previous post), so my energy has been at a low point and I am an emotional mess.
Movement: We can see him kick now! Pretty fun to watch my stomach move around! Evidently, we've been talking about it a lot because Reese lifted up her shirt this morning and told me her baby was growing and kicking. :-)
Sleep: I've been sleeping upright on the couch because of my cough. I miss my bed and hope to be reunited with it again soon.
Best Moment this week: Although this has been a pretty crummy week, Reese and I still managed to do a few fun things- like visit the splash park, go to the library, visit the farmer's market, attend 4 birthday parties, and enjoy lots of snuggles.

Miss Anything?  Being able to breathe! Every day gets a little better, but you really take your health for granted until something like this knocks you down.
Looking forward to: Healthy days ahead!

 

We made a birdfeeder this week as part of our summer bucket list. Reese loved painting and hanging it. She points it out every day and says, "I painted my birdfeeder." So far we haven't seen any birds enjoying it...might have something to do with our cat. ;-)
