Half way there!!! 20 weeks down, 20 to go!!! Started painting the nursery! Every time we go to the store, we buy 2 packs of diapers so we will have a nice supply! 20 week MFM ultrasound next Thursday.. So excited yet nervous!!!

20 week ultrasound went well! Baby looks healthy! After 2 out of 3 of the Bunn test came back good, there 1 that had elevated levels and small levels of concern but the 2 dominate tests were good. Still, in my mind I had some concern and worry! So relieved and happy everything looks great and no signs of any genetic or chromosome deficiencies! Even got a cute video clip of the baby yawning! Also relieved that they did not slip on the sex!!! I have been worried too because I have read people really feeling the baby move starting at week 16 and I have not felt it much at all..  They say it feels like a flutter or gas bubbles and I have just felt a flick here or there.

Dr appointment today. Went well. Love these quick 5 minute appointments. Weight, blood pressure, measure the stomach and listen to the heartbeat... Love that sound!!! Next visit is in a month and have to have the gestational diabetes test before! Yuck!!! Fingers crossed!!

Still feeling great! Starting to get bigger and have moved into some maternity pants! Thank goodness for yoga pants! They are stretchy and still fit... Even more thankful that I can dress them up with a cute top for work!

No complications or issues!

Doctor appointment. Heartbeat sounded great again! Doctor said I gained a few more pounds than my last visit...Dang it! Should have taken my boots off! I think I did not gain that much my 1st trimester because I already had the "pouch" just now it is filled with a baby! Did not have to stretch my stomach out so now that it is growing, I am growing with it, so will gain more!

Been eating healthy... No cravings yet... Been doing a great job getting my 80g of protein a day! Double protein whole grain bread, protein granola, protein pasta, greek yogurt with extra protein.. Protein, protein, protein!! If I do find myself short, I drink a Premier Protein shake.. They have 30g of protein and taste really good! Showed it to the nutritionist who said it looked ok to drink and did not have anything alarming to her! Woohoo!!
