My Big Fat Belly- 20 Weeks

How I'm Feeling at 20 Weeks: Anxious!! I'm so ready to know the gender! Other than hyped up anxiety about Wednesday (4 more days!) I'm feeling pretty great. They belly is growing and the baby is really starting to kick a lot more. Chase felt the baby move for the first time yesterday! It was so sweet. We were laying down to take a nap and Chase laid his hand on my belly for awhile before going to sleep and that's when he finally felt a few kicks. He smiled so big!!

Baby Movements: I can tell that the baby is getting stronger because every now and then I feel kicks that are a lot harder than the regular ones. They kinda catch me off guard sometimes. I love it!

Gender: Boy or Girl? What will it be? On Wednesday we will see!!!

What I'm Looking Forward to: I've been on Pinterest a lot lately coming up with really cute ideas for the nursery so I'm ready to get started on it. This means that we've got to buy Brantley a twin bed and move the crib into the nursery. I've also decided that we're going to swap Brantley's furniture, aka the nursery furniture, with the smaller more grown up furniture that is in the nursery now. There is a desk and dresser in there that will go well in Brantley's room. I'm hoping to have the twin bed by BR's birthday and get started on the nursery in February.

Baby's Development at 20 weeks:

Baby is about the size of a cantaloupe this week!!

Baby weighs about 10.6 ounces and measures about 6.5 inches from head to bottom (about 10 inches from head to heal). She's still got a lot of growing to do though. We are halfway done!!

• She's got working taste buds.
• Now, she's gulping down several ounces of amniotic fluid each day -- that's significantly more than before.

I'll be back Wednesday night to announce gender!!
