Half way:)

That's right- we have officially reached 20 weeks!!!  This is a milestone in and of itself, but this week also marked the first time we felt our little sweet pea move:)  It's so surreal and I'm left with feeling both excitement and anxiety(there's so much left to do!)
Size of baby: A small cantaloupe or a large banana (these two are very different but whatever)
Belly button in or out: IN
Stretch Marks: NO
Best moment of the week: Feeling you move!  I thought I felt a little flutter here and there last week but it was gone as quick as it started and I was never for sure.  Then on Saturday night I was laying down after Christmas shopping with my family all day and I thought I felt a little kick.  I quickly placed my hand on my lower abdomen and felt two more kicks, each one a bit stronger.  Unfortunately, Adam wasn't quick enough to feel it at this time.  The next morning right after waking up, Adam and I were laying in bed talking and the baby was little miss wiggly.  Adam was goofing off and singing (if you know him-he sings alot, you've probably received a singing voicemail from him at some time!) and the little one loved it!  She was dancing all over the place and Adam felt a few kicks (not too strong but a bit stronger than the night before).  It was crazy!  Ok so we secretly joked that maybe she didn't like daddy's singing and was kicking to make him stop please haha!
Food cravings/aversions: Still no real food cravings-finally had me some oreos!  No aversions either but I've been paying a bit more attention to what I eat.  Trying to avoid spicy foods or anything that may cause indigestion.  I have indulged in a bit more dessert than usual:(
Sleep: Sleeping pretty good at night.  Still getting up at least once during the night to empty the bladder but quickly fall back to sleep.  Sleeping mostly on my side and trying to avoid the stomach
Side note: This weekend while shopping I picked a few cute things (off the clearance rack nonetheless) for baby girl next spring/summer:)  So exciting!
This weekend we plan on looking at furniture again and possibly registering!
