20 Weeks

Belly Measurement: 36 3/4"

We're halfway there! This pregnancy is just flying by. I can't wait to meet this little girl! Her movements are getting so much stronger and I LOVE it! She moves all the time and it's still just so amazing to think of this precious life growing inside of me. Usually when I try to have other people feel her move she stops moving, but two days ago both of my parents got to feel her move! That was so exciting because she gave them a big kick! She seems to be lower than what Avery was at this point. Her movements are pretty low and it feels like she's kicking my bladder at times already!

One thing is that I am craving cereal, just like I did when I was pregnant with Avery. I've had a bowl of fruity/cocoa pebbles every morning and night for the past week. Don't judge me. I also HAD to have Chinese tonight because I needed peanut butter chicken. Yes, needed. Since my appetite is growing, I think I've probably stopped losing weight and started gaining some back. We'll find out at my appointment tomorrow! I was still down 6lbs. at my appointment four weeks ago. 

I also wanted to share that we are naming our little girl Elise Faith. I love the name and it is so incredibly cute hearing Avery say it! She knows that Elise is in mommy's belly and she likes to check her heartbeat with her little toy stethoscope. Way cute! She is going to be such a good big sister and I can't wait to see the two of them together.
