20 Week Bumpdate

img_070920 Week Bumpdate

 

size of the baby: banana– about 6.5 inches

 

total weight gain: 9 pounds

 

gender: so incredibly excited for our little man

 

clothes: I am wearing my shop pink blush maternity jeans more right now, and my leggings a few times a week.

 

movement: I am feeling him everyday now, multiple times a day and Kevin felt him this week too! He is getting pretty strong already.

 

sleep: I’m still waking up at least once or twice in the night but its has been okay this week.

 

missing: nothing.

 

craving: french fries. outback bloomin onion.

 

symptoms: my nausea and headaches have been a lot better this week and are almost gone. I am still having a lot of tailbone pain and discomfort. Also, since Brooke was born so early, our doctor thinks the little guy might try to come earlier, so we started injections this past week to hopefully help keep him in my belly. I was pretty nervous about it at first, but once the doctor showed Kevin how to give them to me, and I got my first one, I felt a lot better. Who knew my hubby was handy with needles? lol

 

kevin is: excited about having a boy this time but not super excited to give me shots every week. I told him he did great, but it wasn’t his favorite.

 

looking forward to: thanksgiving and seeing our family again soon!

 

best moments: After a busy week, Brooke got a stomach bug at the end of the week that landed us on the couch for a few days, but we ended our weekend with family celebrating our nieces baptism so that was great!

    It’s crazy how close it is to Thanksgiving already! I have a lot of tailbone pain too and have to place an ice pack on it quite often. Glad your Doctor is taking precautions to try to get your little guy to stay put longer!

    I love reading your bump dates! It’s so fun to see just how different pregnancies are from not just person to person but from pregnancy to pregnancy. And go Kevin! I know my husband would do it if he had to but I think he would have a really hard time! I know I would!

    You look so cute! I’m sorry you have to have injections, but I’m glad your nausea is gone.

  • Life with you is certainly never boring! ❤️

Through every hard season and every joy, you’ve been right by my side.

I’m so thankful for the man and husband you are. You encourage me, push me, lead me and always serve our family. 

You are an amazing example of Christ’s love to us and I’m incredibly proud to call you mine.

You’re my very best friend and doing life with you is so fun. You always bring the smiles and the laughter.

I love the life we’ve built and I can’t wait to experience the rest of this life with you. I love you so much, Happy 15th Anniversary @kevinclarke15!
  • The older I get, the more I realize wellness doesn’t have to mean a complicated routine. 🤍#BarleansPartner

I’m focusing on simple habits that actually fit into my everyday life — morning walks, staying hydrated, and adding @Barleans Seriously Delicious Omega-3 Fish Oil into my routine.

I love that it’s a liquid format, tastes great, and feels like an easy swap instead of adding another pill to my day. ✨

You can find Barlean’s at Walmart!🛒

  • Back-to-school shopping for a junior high girl is about so much more than checking supplies off a list. ✏️🎒✨ #pOpshelfPartner

As moms, we know it’s about helping our kids feel prepared, confident, and excited for a new school year.

Brooke and I found so many cute, affordable back-to-school finds at @popshelf — from school supplies and organization must-haves to accessories and fun extras.

I love that we could find everything in one stop, and at prices that let her pick things that fit her personality without blowing the budget. 🤍 Those little details really do make the first day feel a little more exciting.

Visit your local #pOpshelf for affordable, stylish finds that help your kids feel ready for a fresh start! 📚✨
