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.

  • #AD I love seeing kids get opportunities to learn by doing. 🔨

The Home Depot just launched Skills Explorers, a new Path to Pro curriculum created in partnership with Scouting America for youth ages 11–17 that introduces them to hands-on skills like carpentry, electrical work, and other skilled trades.

It’s a chance to build practical skills, confidence, and maybe discover an interest or future possibility they hadn’t considered before.

If you have a kid or teen who loves building, making, or figuring out how things work, this is definitely worth exploring. 🤍

  • 🎃 Halloween gift ideas just got a whole lot cuter.

These Halloween icon glasses make the BEST little Halloween gifts! 👻 I filled each one with an eye mask, hand sanitizer, lip balm, candy + a mini clip for a gift that’s fun, useful, and actually leaves them with something they can keep.

Perfect for Halloween parties, girls’ night, teacher gifts, coworkers, or neighbors. 🧡

  • IYKYK… 👀🎄 An icon-style glass for $5?! At @pOpshelf?! Say less. #pOpshelfPartner

And it wasn’t the only find that had me doing a double take—the $3 dish, $5 drum candle and $10 décor find were TOO good.

I’m loving how these affordable Christmas finds came together to create that high-end, collected look without the high-end price tag. ✨

If you’re decorating for Christmas, head to your local pOpshelf before your favorites sell out!

  • Advent can be such a beautiful season, but it’s easy for the busyness of Christmas to take over. 🤍

This year, I’m being more intentional about slowing down, focusing on Jesus, and creating meaningful moments with my family and The Daily Grace Co.’s new Advent Collection is such a beautiful way to do that. ✨

The 2026 Advent Collection is officially here!
