pregnancy updates pt. 2

20 WEEKS

January 1st: I'm halfway with baby girl!!! It seems like time is flying by! And big news--I officially felt some little kicks last night as I was going to bed and Sam even got to feel them too! Everything else I felt before was just little flutters so things are getting real. I actually have a baby inside of me!

21 WEEKS

January 8th: I have a super nice old man patient who loves me and sent his whole family to come see me as new patients and every time he comes in he yells, "Well hello prego!"And it doesn't help that my scrub tops probably accentuate my belly and will have to be retired pretty soon for maternity tops.

 22 WEEKS

January 15th: Been trying to get some regular exercise in most days to stay healthy and help baby girl. I don't do much (just a little treadmill walking, some squats, and light weights) but it helps to have a good workout buddy like Sam and to be able to walk down the block to the gym at mom's clubhouse.

23 WEEKS

January 22: Fun fact: I could literally eat Taco Bell bean burritos all day everyday! Or my slightly healthier alternative is 2 grilled cheese sandwiches (yes 2! you aren't living until you've had a havarti grilled cheese on sourdough bread) and apple slices.

24 WEEKS

January 29th: This is the first week that baby girl's movements are so strong that I can see them on my belly. Also she had hiccups for the first time during church and it was WILD! It literally made me jump up out of my chair. 

25 WEEKS

 February 5th: Celebrated 25 weeks in Hawaii for our babymoon! It was the first time to the island for Sam and baby girl and they both couldn't get enough acai bowls. Baby also loved whenever the sun hit my belly (a first for her)-poor thing has only know the cold Utah tundra. But that just means she's gonna be a beach girl like me and we will have to visit a lot.

26 WEEKS

February 12th: Flew home from Hawaii on the most uncomfortable 6 hour red eye flight. If we do a baby moon for future kids it definitely needs to be when I'm smaller or a shorter flight. And it didn't help that I was in a middle seat and the lady sitting had the most nasty mucusy cough. So hopefully I don't get the coronavirus!

27 WEEKS

February 19th: I've been getting gnarly headaches recently which are not fun and I get so uncomfortable at night. There is no more room--the baby is going under my ribs and I can't breathe! And I still have 13 weeks left to go!  Also going to have a baby shower this weekend!
