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.

@GoodWarrior Beef Sticks. I recently discovered this NEW protein snack, and it’s such an easy grab-and-go option for busy summer days.

They come in Original and Jalapeño Pepper flavors, and both are packed with flavor. Each stick has 10g protein, 100 calories, and 0g sugar.

Plus, they’re made with grassfed & finished beef, gluten free, and contain no MSG, artificial flavors, or artificial preservatives.

If you’re stocking up on summer bag essentials, add Good Warrior Beef Sticks to your list! 🙌🏻

Which flavor are you trying first: Original or Jalapeño Pepper? 🌶️🥩
  • #AD Summer hosting doesn’t have to be complicated to feel special 🤍 

I grabbed Tate’s Bake Shop Chocolate Chip Cookies,  Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Soft Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies from @target and turned them into the easiest s’mores dip board for summer nights.

The crispy cookies have that signature crunch, and the soft baked cookies have a delightfully chewy texture. Everything tastes elevated and the quality is amazing 🍪✨

@tatesbakeshop really understood the assignment for easy summer entertaining!
