16 & 20 Weeks

How far along? 20 Weeks! We’ve hit the halfway mark (I’m actually in denial-but oh so excited)

Baby Stats: Baby is the size of a mango and weighing about 10.58 oz (20 weeks).Doctor says its a very active baby.

Maternity clothes? Still mixing some maternity and some regular clothing, non maternity shirts are starting to get a tad short though.

Symptoms: At 17 weeks I started feeling this little one move, by 18 weeks Josh could feel the movement too. Feeling a lot of movement this week from baby, as the weeks go on. I'm feeling a bit tired but I think that’s just from moving and trying to get all our boxes unpacked. Other than that I feel completely normal, other than my growing belly and feeling pressure from my round ligament.

Looking forward to: Getting started on the nursery! Or a crib set up in Lincoln’s bedroom. I just want to get the rest of the house unpacked first.

Gender:  Still Unknown. We find out this week :)

At my 20 week appointment, I meet with Dr Kahn for the first time for this pregnancy. She advises me to have a c-section. Due to my history from my last two labours and my placenta not wanting to come out. Dr Kahn said if I try a vaginal birth, I will most likely need a hysterectomy and a blood transfusion.
