Half Way There {20 weeks}

Bump Pics: Weeks 14-20

Last weekend I hit the 20 week mark for this pregnancy, so I am now over half way done! I am planning to do a scheduled c-section at 39 weeks, so really at this point I only have 19 weeks left. Woo-hoo! Okay but really I go back and forth between being soooo happy to be half way there and so happy to still have a good 4 months to just enjoy having only Eva. I figure most moms feel like that.
How am I doing? I am feeling a bit optimistic....
* Way less "morning sickness" Still some but not as bad as it was or as bad as it could be.
* Way less pain in general. Hooray! A lot of my nerve pain seems to be getting better, hopefully because I am working with my Dad, a rolfer, and also another great chiropractor who specializes in working with pregnant women. Less pain makes me much happier.
* Less hungry. Don't get me wrong here, I still expect to eat every 2-3 hours but I feel like in general I'm not as starving all the time as I used to be.
* Very short of breath. This can happen regardless of whether I am sitting, standing, or even lying down. I am not a big fan of feeling this way but again, it could be way worse.
* Still forgetful. The other day I ran into CVS to get allergy medicine. I went straight for the Tylenol and bought that instead. Then I walked right back in and returned it. #pregnancybrain
* Still clumsy. I drop ice on the floor every.single.time I get some out of the freezer. 
* I feel like my bump is much bigger than it probably actually is. Does that make sense? It seems to take over my body and I feel my clothes getting more snug every week but looking at pictures maybe it isn't quite as massive as it feels? Also I think I look more pregnant from the front than from just side photos.
* I am going to need to shop for some fall maternity clothes soon. You know early on in pregnancy when you think "Oh I can totally wear these loose tops as I get bigger," and then as you get bigger those tops seem to shrink in your closet? Yeah, my closet has definitely been shrinking some of my non-maternity clothes. Right now our weather is still back and forth between warm and cold days, so I am going to give it a few more weeks but I will need to get some fall clothes soon.
* I cleaned out the last of our "who-the-heck-knows-what-to-do-with-this-stuff" moving boxes out of the nursery last weekend. My parents are giving us an old dresser that I am planning to redo in red chalk paint and then I might work on sewing some curtains. I love planning out nursery decor!
* I feel Jensen moving around all the time :) This is THE BEST PART of being pregnant. {Aside from the excuse to eat extra State Fair food!} I think I could feel him now and then starting around week 14, but over the past week the movement has picked up so much! I love it! I love thinking of him healthy and wiggly, having fun and growing bigger every day.

 

This is totally my life right now. We go through toilet paper like crazy, and I know it's all me. Even Eva will say, "But you just went potty!" That's life as a pregnant lady.
