Half way there! I feel like I really popped this past week. Everyone keeps commenting on the belly. Can’t say that I don’t like the attention š
The down side to this growing tummy is my uniform no longer fits. Well I haven’t been able to button my pants all the way up for a while, but now the rubber band I have holding them up is stretched tight and threatens to snap at any minute. I finally decided to purchase maternity ABUs and to my dismay, they are not carried in the stores and are on back order till MARCH!! Sad panda.
Here’s what my body thinks 20 weeks should look like
I’ve gained a total of 10 pounds already! I really hope I can maintain this weight gain rate for the next 20 weeks, but that’s wishful thinking. I usually blow up the last few weeks. Eh. It is what it is.
I started sleeping with a pillow between my legs and one propped up against my back as I sleep on my side, but it never fails that I end up on my back. I’m told that laying on our back for any amount of time is not recommended and puts too much pressure on major veins in your body. Hopefully I can get use to staying in right position.
Big ultrasound appointment tomorrow. Really excited to see our baby again. It will never get old.
