Today is my 20 week mark - we are half way there to meeting this miracle. I'm still in shock that we've made it this far. It doesn't feel real. I am cherishing every single movement of having Peanut with me. I know how quickly it can be taken away.
I'm still having anxiety about this pregnancy. I came home this past Thursday and told my husband I feel like I should be feeling Peanut move more. I am almost 20 weeks. He calmed me down and asked if I wanted to hear the heartbeat. Sure enough the heartbeat was around 150bpm. I'm so thankful for my husband to have been there to calm me down. I am feeling Peanut moving but maybe not as much as I had anticipated. I'm trying my best to be patient. Its just hard to not have that anxiety creep up on me.
August 31st can not get here soon enough. I want to see Peanut again to ensure he/she is growing properly. I am also very excited to find out the sex.
Here is a photo of my belly at 20 weeks. I've always had a flat stomach so this is big for me.
You look great and very similar to me right now! :)
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for you to find out the sex :) I know how hard it is waiting for those next appointments. Love the belly pic.
ReplyDeletebeautiful belly and hi peanut! Glad to hear you have the reassurance of the doppler - my Sprout moves around quite a lot but when s/he is quiet - I poke at it to get a reaction (I'm so bad - I'm going to get pay back one day, I know!) Rest assured that your lil' peanut may just be a thinker - and it's very peaceful inside your belly :) yay 20 weeks!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!! I can't wait to find out what Peanut is!
ReplyDeletecute cute baby bump :)
ReplyDeleteYAYYY for 20 weeks!!! Don't you just LOVE dopplers? They are so reassuring to have when you are feeling anxious. I'm sure the major kicks will be coming soon enough :)
