20 Weeks: What I Know Now

- I can't believe how much I have popped this last week! Literally it comes out of nowhere. I think I am probably about two weeks ahead of where I was with rowan. It's crazy how big I feel already since i've made that pop.... but i know it's just begun ;)

- This little guy's kicks are getting stronger and stronger and it's so amazing. I am surprised how low they are, though. And maybe that's why my back hurts more with this pregnancy. Maybe he is just sitting lower than Rowan did.

- I'm not gonna lie, I thought the exhaustion would go away with the second trimester but it hasn't. I am tired all the time. And i'm grateful that rowan is still taking naps because I usually sleep during her nap, unless i'm busy with something else. I really enjoy sleep these days.

- I've gained 6 lb's so far. That hate seeing the scale go up ;(

- We are slowly, but surely starting to collect boy things and it's so fun! Jord doesn't like the financial part of starting over, but it's still fun and exciting.

- The dreaded heartburn as already started. I have woken up from naps almost choking because it's coming up my throat, and sometimes out my nose. I'll hopefully get a prescription from the doctor this next appointment, because to think i have 20 more weeks of heartburn is really not-so fun.

- We have tried to tell rowan about her baby brother and she kind of understands, and kind of doesn't. When we ask here where the baby is, she usually points to the ultrasound on the fridge. But the most embarrassing thing she does is when we try and ask her in front of other people. I'll say "Where is Momma's baby?" and she'll point to the wrong bump on momma. ;) it's very lovely. I'm very excited for her to be a big sister though!

- We went to St. George with our friends a couple weeks ago, and we went to St. George again this week with my side of the family to spend a last vacation with the twinners before they leave on their missions. It's been HOT, but im grateful for a swimming pool to relax and cool off. Pregnancy + Me + Heat is not a good mix. My circulation is out of control, especially when it's HOT!

- Our 20 week ultrasound is coming up in a few days and we are really excited to see our babe! I hope everything looks good, and that he's healthy. We'll see!

- YAY FOR BEING HALFWAY!!!!
