Pregnancy updated

Well I'm 20 weeks! Woo Hoo!!! I made it to the half way point! SO I thought I would do a little pregnancy update on how my pregnancy has been so far!

Cravings:

I swear I get a new one every day but my first real craving was Pickles with cream cheese on them! Gross huh? Well not really, that still sounds good to me but I don't go through a jar of pickles a day anymore!

I also crave P.F. Changs lettuce wraps! And just recently I started craving chipotle chicken tacos!

Pretty much any tacos or mexican food I crave!

I also crave french fries! (applebee's french fries have been my fav as of lately!)

Morning Sickness: - sucks!!

I was extremely sick for the first 13 weeks, and then I figured out that zofran and a half a unisom before bed cures my morning sickness. But before that happened I lost 7 or 8 pounds... I'm about even with that now, I've gain 8 back since then.

Baby:

We found out it is a girl at 16 weeks. I just bought her first outfit! it's a cute lil pink one-z (?) that has giraffe print on it and in the front pocket it has two giraffes and it says "mommy and me"! It's soo cute! Brady got all teary eyed when he saw it! He's been so cute!

I started feeling her move aroung 15 weeks, way early I know! Now she is a wild child! She has been keeping me up at night lately! If fact a week ago I woke up in the middle of the night cuz she kept kicking me, and after I was completely awake I realized that she just kept twitching and then she'd through in a kick and a punch every couple minutes. But I pretty sure that she had the hiccups. It was so fun! I couldn't go back to sleep so I woke brady up and he sat up with me and felt her kick me! Sometimes she'll kick me really hard and I won't be expecting it and so I jump cuz it scares me! The next time we will see her will be sometime in July at my next Dr. appointment. Names that we have picked out are Teslee or Macee. We are leaning more towards Macee, but we really can't decide yet. We both feel like her name is such an important part of who she is and we want to make sure that its the right one.

Daddy:

He's amazing, as always! He is always telling me to take it easy. He gives me neck rubs almost every night! When I say I'm going to the pool he always will check on me to make sure I'm not getting too hot! He was soo awesome when I was really really sick! He took over all my chores, he even cooked for me like every day (if I felt like eating) I dare say he's better at doing the laundry and dishes then I am! (thanks to his mama of course!) He knew it was a girl from the second I was pregnant! And like I said early he gets teary eyed sometimes when he see things that are for her. He is going to be such an amazing daddy! I can't wait to see him in action with our little one!

Mommy:

I try not to complain because this is such a blessing but sometimes it is really hard for me to be pregnant. I get really uncomfortable at night and have such a hard time sleeping that all I can do is cry. Sleep is such an important part of me being about to function normally that when I have to go without it for a long time, I just cry... I know I am really gonna struggle once the baby gets here. But for now, I don't have a baby so I have no excuse... On top of my allergies I have really bad pregnancy congestion. (Thanks to all the extra blood in my body!) Constipation, I won't even go there! So besides the whole sleep thing I really am loving being pregnant! It's the most amazing feeling to feel my little girl moving inside! It really helps me when I'm having a hard time. I feel so blessed to be able to be a mom. It's such a great life long calling!
