20 weeks/Halfway!



I'm really tired today and didn't feel like taking a pic, but B made me so you get what you get today!


HOW FAR ALONG?:  20 weeks

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN?: I've gained 6 pounds to date. I think that's pretty good. Most of the books I've read have said its normal to have gained 10-13 pounds by this time. However, I'm supposed to expect to gain 1 pound per week for the next 20 weeks... so there's that. 

STRETCH MARKS?:  I hope never to see these beautiful things ;)

SLEEP?:  It's glorious, and I'm still able to do it! I've always been a big sleeper, so I'm not sure I'll ever have problems with this until I get too big to be comfortable. 

BEST MOMENT/S THIS WEEK?: My week was quite uneventful, but I actually felt well enough to put in some extra hours at work this last week. I was called in Saturday night to do secretarial work/resource nurse (break nurse) work for 12 hours. For nursing time and a half, sure thing! Sign me up to do that job a few nights a week!  I also finally got my hair cut and eyebrows done this week after 5 months of neglect.... oops!  

WORST MOMENT THIS WEEK?:  Well, remember last week when I mentioned my bank account had been hacked? That money was returned, however, the bank neglected to cancel my credit card as well, so they've started using that. Idiots! It's now in the process of being fixed. It's so frustrating, why are people so stupid? 
I did get a small laugh out of the situation though... Saturday night, when I was at work Brett called me to ask me if I'd ordered anything from mediamail (?), I said no that it was probably junk. He said, it's a package and opened it to find some crazy work out DVD about how to get a ripped body and six pack. I really thought someone was playing a joke on me, until I found out that was one of the many charges on my hacked credit card. Which, now that I think about it, makes me a little nervous that my address was known.  

MISS ANYTHING?: Cooler weather... nothing pregnancy related, I'm just so sick of temps 90-100s every freakin' day when I'm trying to sleep!

MOVEMENT?:  She's on the move! It's so fun to be able to feel her moving around in there!

FOOD CRAVINGS?:  Not really.  I am really loving Jamba Juice/Robeks but maybe because it's a sauna outside!

LABOR SIGNS?:  No and hopefully not for a very long time. 

SYMPTOMS / MOODS?:  After getting my hair cut, I realized my hair has just built up a tolerance to my current shampoo/conditioner which is why it's appearing greasy immediately post shower. Also, my hair is falling out like crazy and I know it's supposed to be opposite so I guess it's time to get my thyroid level checked again, otherwise I may be bald soon. 
I about had my first real emotional, pregnancy related meltdown this week.  I was called in late to work Saturday and I really wanted to get to the grocery store before I went. Why? Because they had huge packs of toilet paper on sale for $3.77, which is SO cheap! Anyway.... I went to the store, got some snacks for my coworkers and saw that they were out of said TP, so I went through the line hoping to get a raincheck. While in line, I was sweating to death because it's a million degrees, even inside the grocery store and I had on support hose for work.  Then I started feeling dizzy like I might pass out, probably because I had yet to eat, so I grabbed a water out of the cooler and started chugging it. Finally, I made it through the line and was instructed to wait for the raincheck, but they weren't doing rainchecks.  Instead they were subbing another TP. So I said I wanted 2 (the limit) and continued to wait. They finally brought them up to me and expected me to wait through the line again, which was now longer. So I was hot and pregnant and hungry and irrational and almost started crying; I put the TP on the ground and slowly walked out. But I NEEDED that TP, so my superman of a husband went and picked it up for me later. Thank goodness! I just couldn't let the deal pass me by! What a nut!

BELLY BUTTON IN or OUT?:  In.

WEDDING RINGS OFF or ON?: On.

LOOKING FORWARD TO...?: I don't have too much going on in the near future. We have tickets for the Book of Mormon next month but that seems so far away!  

Oh and Nana Nancy bought baby girl this adorable little thing:
