20 Weeks

With 20 weeks comes a very heavy heart. I don't know what the future has in store for us or Nemo but for now I have to have hope.
Halfway there!
"Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had via amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you'd like your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch."

How far along? 20 weeks 2 days
Baby’s Size: A cantalope- 10 1/2 ounces and 6 1/2 inches.
Total Weight Gain: If any...only a few pounds.
Maternity Clothes: Sometimes.
Gender: We're having a boy.
Movement: His little kicks have a whole new meaning now. Things are most certainly changed. I'm  happy to feel the kicks, reminds me he is in there and moving all around.
Sleep: Has been fine. Last night was the first night of sleep since finding out the results of our ultrasound and I slept alright, when I woke up I was sure it was all a nightmare. When I realized it wasn't I just sobbed in bed.
Symptoms: not too much
Best Moments this week: Finding out we are having a boy :)
Food Cravings: popsicles
Food Aversions: nuggest
What I miss: the "before"
What I am Looking forward to: Hearing from the specialist, completing all the tests so we can get some answers.
Milestones: I'm halfway through the pregnancy. The baby will come before my due date so maybe even a little less than halfway left.
