20 Week Bumpdate!

Posted on the 15 May 2013 by Wifessionals @wifessionals

I am officially 20 weeks and 1 day! So I have less pregnancy left that I have already gone through (:

I am so excited to say that this morning it was confirmed that we are, in fact, having a little girl.
A few of you have asked about names, but we aren't telling anyone (not even our families) until she is born. I love her name and it has a very special meaning behind it.

This past week I had really bad cramps for about 4 days. The doctor thought I might have had a bladder or kidney infection, but when they tested, nothing showed up. Ryan's mom said that it was probably just growing pains. Every time she would get bad cramps all of a sudden her belly would pop out more. A day or two later, my stomach definitely looked bigger.

I also have FINALLY started to feel her move. It isn't very strong yet, but I have even felt it from the outside. I will be really excited when Ryan and others can feel it too.

So how does the bump look?


I am happy to say it is starting to become a bump!
The left picture is 13 weeks and the right is 20 weeks.

In other news, my boobs are getting huge. I started at a small B and am already completely filling a D.
What the heck?!
I bought one bra when I moved to a C and then I finally had to buy two more this week and I could not believe that I am already that big. Considering I have only gained 9-10 pounds, I am convinced that at least two of those are my boobs alone.

The app said the baby is 11 ounces this week, but today at the ultrasound she was weighing in at 13. That means she almost weighs a pound all on her own. She was very photogenic during our appointment and I even got to see her little nose and lips.

I got this bathing suit today:


It is really flattering and I plan to wear it with my pre-pregnancy bikini bottoms I already have. We are heading to Florida next week to see my family. I'm not big enough to where I feel comfortable just wearing a regular bikini and having a "belly". Right now it is in an unattractive "middle phase" and I am whiter than I have ever been in my life! So I decided to get this maternity bathing suit top instead.

Besides that, I am just so excited to start loving pregnancy more. Feeling her move and knowing that she is a girl has made me so happy and I feel like I can really relax more.
