The big doctor's appointment and weekly post

We had a bit of a surprise when we finished the ultrasound for our sweet baby girl. The ultrasound tech showed us measurements and we found out that I was actually closer to 23 weeks rather than 20. I knew there was potential for me to be about a week ahead, but I didn't know I would be over that! So, my due date was officially changed to March 10th. I'm excited that she will be here earlier than expected!!


I will be combining a few weeks because of our little surprise we received. :) I thought about skipping the post completely, but decided I would still want it in the baby book! There are also several ultrasound pics that I will include, but I've got to get them scanned first.


Pregnancy Highlights:


How Far Along: 20-22 weeks
Size of baby: We have a big girl! She is a little over a pound!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've gained 8 lbs total....I'm putting it on fast now!
Maternity Clothes: Only shirts, but I am on the lookout for some nice skinny jeans so I can wear my boots!
Gender: sweet baby GIRL!!!
Movement: YES! I LOVE it! CJ also got a nice little kick last Friday. I was very excited for him to finally be able to feel!
Sleep: Getting better...the bathroom breaks really interrupt a great night's sleep though.
Symptoms: I am officially hungry at all times.
What I miss: my clothes! :)
Cravings: milk and LOTS of it! Salads are still sounding especially good!
Best Moment this week: Finding out we're having a sweet little girl that her Daddy is going to spoil rotten! I was so glad to have my Mom and CJ's parents there as well. They got to see how active she is. She was NOT a fan of having her feet looked at one bit!
What I am looking forward to: Getting the nursery in order. My goal is pretty far off, but I know it will be here before too long!


In other news, my best friend finds out what she is having on Friday!! I am SO ready for her to know. I know our kids are going to be great friends and it would be awesome for us to have one of each!!!
