Ok well here is the 19 week post that turned into my 20 week post! Isn't it supposed to be a slow time of year? Why the heck are we so busy then? School, work, life, we definitely have this balancing act down though, however my blogging has been lacking due to that. 

20 WEEKS!!! YAY! Half way there baby. I am so excited. I'm not quite sick of being pregnant but i'm sure i will developing that feeling within the next 20 weeks. We are just so excited to meet our little guy.  Some days I feel huge, and super pregnant and the baby is kicking around like crazy, but most days he is mellow and I forget he's in there until i look down and see that tummy. 

We went to mesquite over presidents day weekend to meet up with Ty's folks. It was really nice to see them and spend quality time. But that drive....oh man what should have taken 5 hours turned into 8 on the way there and 6 on the way home. We were so ready to be out to the car. It's funny how when living in Utah mesquite was such a nice getaway for weather purposes in the winter but coming from California there really wasn't a change. Funny how climate can change your vacation perception. It was still so nice to be there though. So quality reading time, golf and movie watching!

This past weekend was pretty nice. I had a late night at the office on Friday so i didn't get home until late so we just stayed in and watched some TV and went to bed kinda early. Saturday was nice I started a pre-natal yoga class with my friend Laurie. I am so glad I was able to convince her to go with me. It surprisingly is an amazing workout. So i signed up for every Saturday until i give birth.  We'll see how long i can keep going but hey there were a couple of chicks in there that were 39 weeks, the were "queens", if they can do it so can I! Sunday started off to be a sad day but to cheer ourselves up we took the pup to the dog park, his absolute favorite place and then down to Laguna beach to do some shopping and bird chasing (another one of his favorite pass times). It turned into THE BEST DAY.

 This cool pier that we found tucked behind some houses. 
Seriously B could chase birds for hours if we let him. Haha he also though it would be a good idea to stand in the sand and let the tide come up until it was in front of him and drink ocean water. That was a first. 


How far along? 20 Weeks, 1 Day
Total weight gain/loss: 18 lbs 
Maternity clothes? Yup, still the same as last time. I mostly wear sweats around the house, maternity leggings to the store and regular jeans to work, unbuttoned of course!  
Stretch marks? Nope, still going strong! Thank heavens.
Sleep: Sleep is alright. I started getting rib/back pain so i toss and turn a lot. 
Best moment this week: Knowing that i have a doctors appointment to see our sweet baby this week. 
Miss Anything? Sushi, and sandwiches, really nothing else. I love just about everything i am able to eat. 
Movement: Ya buddy. Still wigglin and kickin but really not as much as before. I have only felt him a handful of times in the last few days. 
Food cravings:  Still spicy stuff. You would think this babe was Mexican! Chocolate milk, this started at the beginning or the pregnancy and has held steady.   
Anything making you queasy or sick: Triscuts, oh man i hate those things right now.   
Symptoms: Round Ligament pain, heartburn, minor feet & hand swelling. 
Have you started to show yet: Oh ya! Showing for sure.  
Gender: Boy
Development: Baby is the size of a Banana! Baby is working on swallowing. Practicing for when he makes his big debut. Baby also has pretty developed taste buds so what i like right now baby is likely to like when he gets here (better eat more broccoli). Our little man sleeps about 12-14 hours a day. He's pretty lazy ;)  
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to:  Doctors visit!

 Oh ya see how my feet aren't showing...that takes some getting used to!

Maternity clothes? Yup. I mostly wear sweats around the house, maternity leggings to the store and regular jeans to work, unbuttoned of course!  
Stretch marks? Nope, still going strong! -

Best moment this week: Celebrating Valentines Day with Ty and feeling the baby wiggle when i ate yummy chocolate covered strawberries. 
Miss Anything? Still Sushi, and sandwiches.

Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to:  Still my 20 Week ultrasound.

Better Late Than Never

Well BOY am I  sorry that I am late getting this post up. Our weekend was really busy (but fun) and this week has been busy so far too. I feel like life needs to slow down for a few seconds so i can catch my breath. Luckily we have a trip coming up to meet the in-laws in Mesquite. I am super excited. Unfortunately it is a golf trip and i'm not sure i will be able to golf so we will just have to see. 

 Our eventful weekend was so much fun. It started out with my super cute step-dad sending us a baby book that made me cry because it was perfect. I cant wait to record all his first things in it. It was so incredibly thoughtful. Thanks Dad! We enjoyed dinner on Friday with a couple of Ty's employees, he totally owed them a meal! On Saturday we had a date night with the Kelhi's where Laurie made and awesome dinner. Can i just say it is amazing having a friend that is pregnant, oh California has been good to me. Then Sunday we enjoyed the Superbowl and a friends house.

 So far this week has gotten off to a good start. I starting "nesting", yup you hear it right NESTING. So what is nesting you ask? Duh...it's getting ready for the baby. They say it happens frequently throughout your pregnancy. Well me being the neat freak that I am i think it will happen throughout the entire pregnancy. Take a look at what i started to do yesterday....just a sample of what's to come. As you all know we have a tiny place with a S#!&* ton of stuff, so this was needed. 



Here is an updated belly pic! Wahoo --- Not very good but i was totally running late this morning so this will have to do. I will post a new one of course next week. Who knows maybe i'll post a few!

Maternity clothes? Yup. Maternity leggings around the house. They are just so comfy!! I can still wear my regular jeans just unbuttoned.

Sleep: Sleep is ok, cant decide if its the baby making me uncomfortable or just waking up frequently to change positions is just my thing. 
Best moment this week: Starting to nest and make room for him! And feeling him wiggle around inside my belly. Still so incredible. 
Miss Anything? Sushi, i don't think i will stop missing that.

Food cravings: Oh man still just extremely spicy stuff. I want it all day everyday!
