20 Weeks | Our Little Banana | Baby BOY T#2 {Half way there!}

20 weeks

How far along: 19 weeks

How big is baby? Banana

Symptoms: Had no nausea at Disney (which I have been worried about for the last few weeks since that’s been a constant for me...yay! Tailbone pain was at a minimum the whole time which is crazy for the amount of walking we did. There were a few mornings it bothered me (probably from sleeping without my pregnancy pillow or with little Eli feet UNDER my back) but tylenol actually helped. Really no other symptoms this week.

Maternity clothes: Yes

Sleep: Sleep was okay this week but only due to the fact I slept with Eli almost every night and ended up with feet under my back or in my face. I was up pretty early every day (even before E some days) which was a little surprising since we were go-go-go during the day.

Miss anything: Being able to sit/lay down without tailbone pain.

Movement: Still here & there - mostly felt it while laying down at night - we were too busy during the day for me to notice.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing - yay!

Have you started to show yet: Yep

Labor signs: None

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Mood? How could I not be happy in the happiest place on earth?!

Feeling boy or girl? Boy this week...because we found out IT’S A BOY!

Looking forward to: Escaping hurricane Irma & getting back into our routine...and our 20 week ultrasound!

Best moment of this week: There were so many great memories made this week at DisneyWorld (I mean, did you SEE Eli’s face on Mine Train?? HAHA!!) but the absolute best was finding out Eli is getting a baby BROTHER & surprising everyone! When we walked into Magic Kingdom Tuesday I pulled Lauren aside & told her I had a mission for her & I needed her to not react. I handed her the envelope & told her I needed her to get either a pink or blue Mickey ear hat and she could either look in the envelope or have it be a surprise for her too. We stopped at one of the photographers on Main Street and after taking a few group pics I said that we wanted to do a family pic. I quickly told the photographer what we were doing and she was AMAZING! She got some great pictures (Kristin’s face was priceless in the one before she realized what was going on….she told us after that she could not figure out why on earth we were opening the bag of Lauren’s souvenirs on camera) and Lauren captured it on video. My mom was so surprised we were finding out and telling them! To say we were shocked when we opened the bag and saw BLUE would be an understatement! We debated waiting or finding out at Disney & decided it was a once in a lifetime opportunity for us because this is probably our last baby and the timing just worked out perfectly so we couldn’t pass it up. I’m SO glad we found out this way & can now try and prep Eli for having a brother!!

20 Weeks...Our Little Banana...Halfway There!

Baby T is the size of a Banana!

How far along: 20 weeks

How big is baby: Banana

Symptoms: Mild headaches are creeping back – nothing terrible but still not fun. And I forget to mention it since it’s so constant but I still have the pain in the back of my pelvis.  

Maternity clothes: Yes…and I had to go into the office 3 days this week instead of 2 and had run out of maternity pants – good thing it was Friday because I was forced to wear shorts! haha

Sleep: Just okay this week. I wake up multiple times a night on my back (even though I go to sleep on my side). Not sure what is waking me up because I haven’t even been doing a bathroom trip every night

Miss anything: First time I’ve actually wanted a drink after my bad day at work on Friday!

Movement: Yes I feel peanut mostly at night but occasionally during the day or when I’m in the car I feel him/her where my seat belt is.

Food cravings: Still not having any particular cravings. I actually feel really lucky that I don’t have any food aversions or any crazy cravings.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week!

Have you started to show yet: Yes, even had a lady come up to me in Target and tell me Carter’s was having a baby sale hehe

Labor signs: No

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Mood: Great! I can’t believe this pregnancy is halfway over. I know the second part will fly by even faster than the first part since it’s only been 8 weeks since we told the world (and we have known for 16) and we have so much going on between now and October it’s going to fly! 

Feeling boy or girl: I think boy – I feel like I’m carrying low but I think it’s really too early to tell

Looking forward to: Our 20 week scan! It’s funny because most people go into this scan worried they won’t be able to find out the sex – I’m worried that we WILL find out! I just can’t wait to see that baby move around! And going to the X-Games this weekend with my dad!

Best moment of this week: Finding Blue Bell Dos Amigos ice cream at the store for Justin! Long story short {ok so it turned kind of long} – I got Justin hooked on this ice cream when I met him and a few months later Blue Bell stopped making it. I am not exaggerating here when I say every time {every time} we go into a store that has an ice cream case we have to check and see if they have Dos Amigos. This has been going on for 7 years. Last Wednesday I had to run into Walmart before our workout to grab a dessert (my pregnancy brain had already forgotten twice that day) for our neighbor dinner. I was settled on Klondike bars but had to do my routine Dos Amigos check and holy moly there it was! Justin was waiting for me in the car and I couldn’t even wait to get out there to tell him so I called him while in the aisle. It’s a good thing he wasn’t there because I’m pretty sure he would have caused a scene. We have happily found the ice cream in every store we’ve gone in since Wednesday so hopefully it’s going to stick around. If you have Blue Bell in your stores – go try it now! It’s Mexican chocolate/Mexican vanilla mix…with a hint of cinnamon. SO GOOD
