Maternity clothes: 

i've been wearing some maternity jeans & still just wearing my regular shirts

Gender: 

it's a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!

i need more of it!

What I miss: 

having more energy

nothing really

• i think my vomiting is getting better (didn't have any episodes last week)
• i had a few nosebleeds last week
• constipation (ugh)
• i made a trip to the ER a couple of weekends ago due to my stomach hurting & almost blacking out (everybody was okay.. just dehydrated)

Best moment this week: 

i think we are just still trying to get it into our heads that we are having a little girl.  it's so surreal!  and we're going to kansas city for memorial day weekend.. so i'm looking forward to a little family getaway!

Pregnancy Highlights

How far along: 

20 weeks

Size of baby: 

about 6.5 inches long

size of a banana

Maternity clothes: 

i've been wearing some maternity jeans only when my regular jeans are dirty.. haha!  and i think i've worn only 1 maternity top.  i did buy some new clothes for mother's day, but they fit like they could be maternity but are not.  i love some of the tops from forever 21!!  they are very stylish & work great for maternity & don't cost an arm & a leg!!

Gender: 

it's a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!

Movement: 

tons of movement!!  i love it!  i let fox feel the baby moved & he would quickly remove his hand & giggle!  it was so cute!  and brandon has felt the baby move, too!

Sleep: 

i have been sleeping really hard the past week or so.  so much so that i have been drooling & am so out of it.. and i never drool!  heehee!  guess i'm just worn out!

What I miss: 

my Mom

Cravings: 

nothing really

Aversions:  

mexican food

Symptoms: 

still vomiting about once a week.  boo!!  and some round ligament (i think) pains.  oh & something that has been a little bothersome is getting fever blisters.  i have never had a fever blister in my life until this pregnancy.  and i am currently on my 3rd one.  it's just annoying.

Best moment this week: 

definitely the best moment this week was our ultrasound we had yesterday & finding out we are having a girl!!

i'm a U.S. citizen

after living in the united states for 23 years, i became a citizen in late april.  it was a really long process & took many years (obviously), but glad to finally become one!! and i'm proud to be an american!  :)

i carried that little flag to lunch afterwards.  ha!

sweet friends had these delivered to my house!

wee bit wednesday

{one} when was the last time you used a pay phone (if ever)?when i was younger.. like 7-10 yrs. old.
{two} did you ever fail a subject in school?yes, college algebra.. which really stinks because i was always in all the honors math classes in high school.
{three} where do you go to get your favorite hamburger/cheeseburger?hmmm, i will usually try a cheeseburger at any restaurant.  but i love red robin's burgers & the shake shack in new york.  yummy!
{four} have you ever served jury duty?nope.  i'd like to, tho!  think it would be fun! {five} how old were you when you moved out of your parents’ house?when i got married at age 22.  i wasn't dumb.  why move out of your parent's house when they pay for everything?!  i only worked to shop & didn't have to pay for anything.. there were always home-cooked meals & a clean house.  and they spoiled me.  i had a good life!
{six} what is your favorite color to wear?i like to wear turquoise & pink & purples!
{seven} do you have a pair of shoes that you wear all the time?yes, a pair of black flats.  i really need a new pair.
{eight} do you enjoy talk radio?not really, but brandon does.
{nine} if you could turn one unhealthy food into a healthy one, what food would it be?pizza & burgers.
{ten} who is the best speaker you’ve ever heard in person?hmmm, i think bill cosby.  he's hilarious & very inspirational!
