20 Weeks: Halfway!

I can't believe I am halfway through this pregnancy already! It has gone by so fast! I am finally starting to look and feel pregnant. I felt the baby move for the first time (at least that I recognized) a little less than a week ago :) Now I notice it all the time and I love the feeling! Every now and then it hits me how soon baby E will be here!

So now for an update on me and little baby Epperson:

Let's start with baby E:

He or she is 11oz right now, with a heartbeat of 141 BPM. We have a very excited baby in there. We had our anatomy/gender ultrasound today and it took forever to do because little E would not hold still. Finally baby E calmed down so we could see everything :) The baby is doing great as far as we can tell. He or she is healthy and looks great so far!

We have a very active baby :)

 

So how am I doing at 20 weeks?

1. I can still wear my regular clothes. My jeans still fit but aren't too much tighter which has been nice. I can also still wear my normal shirts. I'm sure this won't last too much longer but I'm enjoying it while I can.

*As a side note: A HUGE thank you to Amber for lending me her maternity clothes! They are so cute and I'm excited to really start using them! We appreciate it so much :)

2. I can still eat anything and I still haven't had any sickness! Yippee!

3. Sleeping is still going pretty well. I have always slept on my side so no problems there. Baby definitely likes left side best. Some nights I get up to go to the bathroom a lot but I can usually get back to sleep just fine.

4. I'm still exercising 5 to 6 days a week. I love being able to exercise, its really helping me to be able to relax. I know I probably won't be able to do it for the entire last 20 weeks so I'm enjoying it while I can. 

Overall, I'm feeling wonderful and doing great. I'm measuring exactly where I should be and its wonderful that I haven't been sick. I am constantly thinking about baby E and planning for the big day!
