Baby's size: A banana, (but really bigger since they start counting the legs) Our u/s tech said about the size of a barbie doll!
Weight loss/gain: Haven't gained any since last week.
Sleep: Actually a little better since being on Christmas break. I think I'm not as stressed and know I can sleep in, so it's been pretty good.
Gender: Shim revealed to the u/s tech what they are. We are having a gender reveal party Sunday after church!
Movement: I definitely feel Shim the most in the mornings and in the evenings when I'm laying down. It's still not very often, but the movements are maybe a little more noticeable this week. Still waiting for them to be strong enough for Zach to feel!
Best Moment of this week: Having our u/s and seeing that Shim has a beautiful, pumping 4 chamber heart, kidneys, a bladder, a stomach, and a beautiful spine! A big relief, even though we had no reason to think Shim was anything other than healthy! I drank a lemonade and had Christmas candy before the Dr. and it may have been too much sugar. Shim was crazy in there kicking and moving. Haha!
Looking Forward: To our gender reveal party. I still don't really want to tell everybody, but since I went ahead and found out, I figure what's the point? We will not be telling Shim's name, however, until they are born. And on this, I am remaining absolutely unswayed.
Food cravings: Not really.
Weirdest Food I ate last week: Not a thing. I've never been a big enthusiast on trying weird things, and don't plan on starting now!
Anything making you feel sick or queasy: We ate duck that Zach killed the other night and it was so delicious, but right after I was convinced I was going to throw up. Luckily, I didn't!
Symptoms: Round Ligament pain is real. And I don't care for it! haha. It's not the worst, though, and gives me a good excuse to sit down!
Workouts: Non-existent. I am so not proud of this.
What I miss: Calling Shim "Shim.": (
Things that stink: I'm not going to lie, I am wishing I could have convinced Zach to not find out. I realized though that his plan of finding out and me not was just not going to work for me. I think it would have driven me crazy and I've just been sad about it all. Which I know is terrible. No judging!
Things that don't stink: Being 20 weeks. It's hard to believe we're halfway there, maybe a little more or less!
Mama's Thoughts: It has been a draining week. I know I should probably be saying how wonderful it was and blah, blah, blah, but apparently I'm letting the hormones kick in. I am thankful to the Lord for a healthy baby, though!
Daddy's Thoughts: Zach gives Shim pep-talks about moving and kicking stronger so he can feel. He says he is over-the-moon about what Shim is, but of course that was my wording in a question, so he just replied, "Yes." I'm still going to count it as him saying it, though.
Baby: Shim measured ahead by 6 days on the u/s! They said weight was around 12 oz when my baby app said it's usually around 8.5. I should have known with Zach as my child's father our baby could be big! Who knows, though, things might slow down or speed up even more. We will just have to see! Shim also really didn't want us to see their face. They kept their arms up in "tornado drill" position for a lot of the time and barely moved them for a us to get a semi-decent picture of their face. The one we did get is pretty precious, though.
