Sleep: Pretty good for the most part. The insomnia is starting to creep in some nights.

Worst moment this week:  Being suuuuper sore from my workout. It's so much harder when you're pregnant. 

Miss anything: Not having sciatic nerve pain.

Gender: GIRL

Maternity clothes:  Yes! I found the best maternity "jogger" style pants on Amazon and I'm in love. 

Stretch marks: No new ones that I've found yet.

Sleep: Mostly good, I've had a bit of pregnancy insomnia but nothing too bad. 

Best moment this week:  Magically removing the crayon from a load of wash with a bunch of new clothing. Haha

Worst moment this week:  Drying a crayon in with a bunch of new clothing for the boys.

Maternity clothes:  Some. I had to order another pair of my favorite pants. 

Stretch marks: No new ones yet.

Belly button in or out:  Getting more and more shallow as time goes on.

Sleep: Pretty good for the most part. I've been pretty tired this past week, not really sure why, but I've gone to bed early or taken a late afternoon nap a few times. 

Best moment this week:  Getting to see my awesome doula and do her hair!

Worst moment this week:  Losing my voice due to these dang allergies! So random. 

Miss anything: Picking up my boys whenever I want. I have to be so much more deliberate now. 

Movement:  Tons! Baby girl is doing some serious tricks in there.

Queasy or sick: Just a few times here and there my tummy will still get upset randomly.

Looking forward to: Everett going to school full days instead of just 3 hours at a time!

20 weeks; baby is the size of a messy bun//21 weeks; baby is the size of a bottle of sriracha

The past few weeks have been flying by and we are over halfway through this pregnancy! I have been in hardcore nesting mode getting things set up for our baby girl. We are finally hitting somewhat of a rhythm with Everett's school and all the other things we have going on. We are so grateful for our families that are always willing to help out and give a hand.

Belly button in or out:  In

Sleep: Alright. Poor David has been dealing with my pregnancy snoring, but I got some nasal strips to hopefully help with that. 

Best moment this week:  Getting to see all our family over the Labor Day weekend. It's never anything super fancy that we do and it's great to just spend time together. 

Worst moment this week: Feeling all of the little stresses build up and feel like a lot at one time. I'm grateful for awesome friends and my husband for listening and helping me problem solve. 

Miss anything: Being able to pick up my kiddos without a second thought. I have to be much more deliberate and careful now.

Movement:  Tons! Little miss loves the sound of the blowdryer at work and jumps around like crazy when she hears it. 

Cravings:  AAALLLL the chopped salads!

Queasy or sick: Thankfully no.

Looking forward to: Growing and getting to feel baby move even more.

I'm sharing a few more photos here from our gender reveal since I didn't want to overpost on Instagram. This pregnancy is starting to fly by, as evidenced by the fact that I'm falling behind on my "weekly" updates.

How far along: almost 20 weeks!

Gender: GIRL! We did an early blood test so our family and some friends have known since I was around 9 weeks, but we officially announced after our anatomy ultrasound. It was good to have some reassurance that we are actually having a girl!

Maternity clothes:  Oh yes.

Stretch marks: No new ones still. 

Belly button in or out:  Still in, but becoming more shallow. I already feel like this bump is crazy for being barely halfway. 

Sleep: Pretty good most days so far.

Best moment this week:  Getting to see baby girl and hear her heartbeat. She is growing beautifully and everything is progressing as it should. 

Worst moment this week: Having a couple days in a row of awful headaches and just not feeling great. 

Miss anything: I honestly couldn't think of anything.

Movement:  Tons! She was crazy during the ultrasound and has been moving around a ton lately.

Belly button in or out:  Already becoming more shallow, but still in.

Sleep: Not great this past week since we were all sick. :(

Best moment this week:  Everett starting school!

Worst moment this week:  All of us getting sick. Sinus/ear infections for me, allergies, and colds for everyone else. I swear it should be illegal to get sick while pregnant. Just thankful it's not COVID.

Movement:  Still feeling some flutters here and there.
