Week 20 Bumpdate

Week 20 Week 20 Bumpdate

 

size of the baby: Banana – 6.5 inches

 

total weight gain: I think around 6 or 7 pounds now.

 

gender: GIRL!! I am still beyond excited and can’t stop shopping for baby girl clothes. I also may be obsessed with planning how her nursery is going to look now too!

 

maternity clothes: Still just pants. I am looking a little more pregnant but the average person probably can’t tell yet. The doctor said it’s coming soon and that I should I enjoy it now.

 

movement: Still so so ready for Kevin to be able to feel her moving around. I love laying in bed at night or sitting on the couch and feeling her move around. Best feeling ever. I am starting to feel her so much more and so much stronger.

 

sleep: Sleeping has been much easier this week except trying to remember to sleep on my side now. Some nights I have even slept through the night or almost through the night. I should probably not jinx myself.

 

missing: nata. my heart is full.

 

craving: sweetarts on the real.

 

symptoms: nothing really this week. breaking out a little again but not too bad.

 

kevin is: glad we got to see so much family for Christmas.

 

looking forward to: spending time with my parents this weekend!

 

best moments: feeling baby girl move so much this week and getting to see all of our family for Christmas. I just love family time!

    you look great. I looked a lot like you around 20 weeks, and I really didn’t ‘show’ until about week 28. I was upset in the moment – but after baby came I was really grateful and decided it was a good trade.

  • Easy summer lunches don’t have to be complicated ☀️

This lunch took just a few minutes to put together, but the real excitement came when the kids saw their new rainbow @ahimsahomeusa mindful mealtime sets 🌈 We loved our original stainless steel sets so much that I ordered four more, and they’ve quickly become a favorite around here.

I love that they’re durable, easy to clean, and designed to grow with our family. Sometimes the simplest swaps end up being the ones you appreciate the most. 🤍

What’s your go-to easy summer lunch for the kids?

  • #Ad FrogTape reMOVEables™ helped us turn an ordinary movie night into the cutest little “Hop Into Movie Night” 🐸✨

Using @frogtaperemoveables made decorating SO easy — we used the poster strips for our Disney and Pixar’s Hoppers movie poster and wire hooks for the vines and garland around the mantel with no tools and no wall damage 🙌

The kids had the best time following the lily pad hop challenge straight to our cozy movie setup 🍿💚

  • #ad I’m constantly juggling so many schedules and lists, so I’ve been trying to create routines that feel a little more intentional instead of overwhelming ✨

Lately, I’ve been using the Pilot FriXion Vibe Erasable Pens to color-code everything from content planning to appointments and meal prep and I love how each pack creates a different vibe while I’m planning.

The DreamGlow shades instantly put me into a more creative, positive mindset when I’m brainstorming ideas, while the ZenFocus colors help me slow down, focus, and organize everything on my to-do list 💙💚

And because they’re erasable, I can adjust plans throughout the day without my planner looking chaotic by the end of it 😅

Productivity…but make it aesthetic 💕 Available at Office Depot Office Max! What’s your vibe?
