20 Weeks {Banana}

HALFWAY THERE!!!

 

How far along? 20 Weeks

Maternity clothes? For sure! Went and bought a few more tops this past weekend.  It is quite expensive to get a new wardrobe for just a few short months.
Stretch marks? Not yet, Thank goodness! Hopefully they will stay far, far away.
Sleep: Still sleeping pretty good. I do wake up at time with stiff shoulders and back.  All around, not to bad though.

Best moment this week: Ordering Aubree's nursey decor and bedding! Can't wait for it to come in! Next major purchase... the bed to put the bedding in! :)

Miss Anything? A nice glass of wine or margarita! A fun night out with friends at a local bar.
Gender: Girl
Movement: Rolling and a "wave" like movement. Anxiously awaiting major movement though!
Food cravings: sweets and my usual mexican food. But whats new, those are always my cravings.
Anything making you queasy or sick: pasta.  I have tried it twice and both times it didn't really hit my taste buds.
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Feeling sluggish and very top heavy.  It's only going to get worse.
Belly Button in or out? In
Looking Forward too? SHOPPING for Aubree and Christmas vacation with my family!

Nursery Decor

After finding out that we were having a sweet baby girl, I QUICKLY started shopping!! I have always loved this bedding, so I knew I had to get it.  It doesn't scream pink, but it's gorgeous!

 

It should be in very soon and I can't wait to get it all set up! Next major purchase.... the furniture to put it on. :)
