Pregnancy Update: 20 Weeks

It's been a few weeks since I've posted about this, but to be honest, being at home for the holidays is so darn relaxing, I just did not want to get out my computer and write. I think I finally "popped" over Christmas, although I'm still trying to convince myself it's because of all the food I ate, and not because of the baby!How Far Along: 20 weeks (and 3 days)What is Baby G Up To?: Baby G is the size of a banana - well, I guess the length of a banana. He/she is moving a lot, and I feel movement all the time.How I’m Feeling: I feel good! I'm getting bigger, which is a strange feeling, especially for someone like me who has always been very conscious of my size. I'm hungry ALL. THE. TIME. I just cannot curb my appetite. I try to trick myself by eating smaller meals throughout the day, but baby is smarter than that. I eat everything in sight. I'm back at work this week and despite the cold weather, I'm feeling refreshed. Sometimes you just need some down time to appreciate the busy days. In the next coming months I'm going to be working my butt off to get a bunch of projects finished before I go on maternity leave. As daunting as it can seem, I'm prepared for it. I just know I'm going to have to fight the exhaustion!What I’m Wearing: My mom spoiled me a bit while I was visiting and bought me some great maternity clothes. Fortunately, we hit those after Christmas deals, and I was able to find some great dresses for work. The store we went to had a pillow in the dressing room that was supposed to put on "3 months" and I could hardly believe I was going to get that big!What’s On My Mind Lately: I've been thinking more about parenting lately. For a while, I was just thinking about how the pregnancy was going to effect my life, but now I'm thinking even more into the future about our baby. What will he/she look like? Will they play sports? What does my career path look like so I can be around to watch him or her play sports? I'm also thinking a lot about my sister, who is about six and a half weeks ahead of me. She is due in early April, which seems so close!What I’m Craving: I think I'm at the point where I am not craving much, just eating it all.What I’m Looking Forward To: Our second trimester ultrasound on Thursday! I can't believe it's finally here. David and I are going to find out the gender, but we are going to have the tech put it in an envelope so we can open it over dinner that night. I'm not going to announce it here since my dad doesn't want to know, but we are going to tell our friends and family - I don't think I can keep it a secret!Best Moment of the Week: David finally felt the baby move! For weeks he's been holding his hand to my belly trying to feel the subtle movements I feel, and this week he finally felt them. It was so cute to see the smile of his face. I think he is starting to think about being a dad, too!
