I am pleasantly surprised at how quickly the first half of my pregnancy went. Here are some highlights, lowlights and Jon details for the first 20 weeks of my pregnancy!
Highlights:
*Not feeling nauseous the first trimester, I feel so lucky to have breezed through the first three months with only the occasional dizziness or faint feeling.
*Enjoyed eating lots of cheetos, fruit, and of course sweets.
*During week 19 a stranger at the gym telling me congratulations and pointing to my belly, this may not seem exciting to most people but to me it meant it was finally obvious that I am pregnant and not just gaining holiday pounds.
*week 20 finally being able to determine movements that come from the baby.
*All three ultrasounds, but the first was my favorite. Jon and I were amazed to see how much the baby moved around already, and hearing the heartbeat for the first time was amazing.
Lowlights:
*Constantly worrying if the baby is okay, gaining weight, headaches, and giving up alcohol of course!
Jon:
*He can’t wait to decide on a name, he makes me rate names from 1-10 constantly and asks me almost daily if I have read the Baby Name book and added any names to our list of favorites.
*He decided we need a visual of how big the baby is each week, so each week we have a different fruit or vegetable that sits on top of the TV which shows how big the baby is in length (not width). We started with a grape and are now to a small cantaloupe (this makes the baby approx 6.5 inches long from head to butt and weighs about 10 ounces.)
