Week 20 baby #5

November 8th-14th

20 weeks with Trent

20 weeks with Rose 

At 20 weeks baby is the size of a banana or about 10.5oz and 6.5 inches long.

We had our 20 week scan this week and most importantly everything looked great! Our sweet baby was all types of curled up and squirming around making it impossible to take measurements, which made the ultrasound take over an hour. Our baby weighs 12oz which is in the 64th percentile and their heart was beating at 154 beats per minute. Rose was 10oz and Trent was 13oz at this scan so baby #5 is right on track.

Weight gain: Started out at 96.3lbs and as of this morning I weigh 98.0lbs!

Sleep: Sleep has been much better now that I am finally getting over this cold. The time change though has me going to bed even earlier than usual and waking up very early.

Eating: I have been so hungry this past week! Specifically eating turkey sandwiches (meat heated), pizza, carrots, pretzel bagels, chips, string cheese, fries and halloween candy!

Movement: Many big movements this week I have even been able to see some from the outside. I also noticed the kicks are higher much closer to my belly button.

What I am loving: The bigger kicks and the bigger belly!

Symptoms: Stuffy nose, itchy growing belly, exhaustion, random headaches and braxton hicks. I know I can't believe it either... I already feel braxton hicks contractions a few times a day. I brought it up to my doctor and he wasn't concerned and he said as long as they aren't a few times an hour it is fine.

Days until next ultrasound: 11 days

Days until next OBGYN appointment: 20 days

Days until Thanksgiving: 14 days

Days until due date: 139 days

Total pounds gained this pregnancy: 2
