Stats for Week 20 - Halfway Point!

 Baby's size:
Little Lucas is now 6 1/2 inches long and weighs 10 1/2 ounces!

Total weight gain:
10lbs. Yowza!!

Maternity Clothes:
Since my last post, I went to the Motherhood Maternity outlet in Smithfield and was able to find a pair of jeans and khakis that worked so great for me! I love the jeans almost as much as my designer jeans before the pregnancy! And, might I add, they look great with my cowboy boots!

Food cravings:
Butter Pecan ice cream and I have established a really close relationship this week! And Maola is the ONLY way to go (weird, I know!)
 
Movement:
Well the movements remain sporadic, but they have changed from "flutters" to "thumps"!! I can feel distinct kicks now, but only when I'm lying flat or sitting still. If I am up moving around, it's not strong enough to notice just yet.
Best moment of the week:
Going broke buying baby clothes at the Smithfield outlets! Watching Dee get excited about all of the clothes definitely made my heart smile!

What I'm looking forward to:
This week I am actually looking forward to heading out of Greenville! We are leaving on Friday for Charleston for the American College of Cardiology conference at the Wild Dunes Resort! I am looking forward to learning alot and also spending some time on the beach. I don't necessarily care to sun bathe (seeing as I probably couldn't fit into my bathing suits anyway!), but am looking forward to just seeing the ocean and doing some beach walking : )

What I miss:
Sleeping on my stomach!! (And a good night's sleep!)
I guess my body's getting me ready for after baby arrives!

Symptoms:
Still having some low back pain, but about a week ago I started prenatal yoga and this has seemed to help already. It's great for stretching my back and helping me remember to keep my posture right throughout the day.

Belly Button:
Still moving its way outward! The belly button ring is officially taking a rest break in the jewelry box. (My dad would be so happy!)
