20 weeks, and we’re halfway done with this pregnancy! Baby is as long as a banana, or about 10″ from crown to heel. All the previous lengths were crown to rump since the baby curls his/her legs up, but from now on it will be crown to heel. Baby also weighs over 10 ounces now.
How far along: 20 weeks
Gender: No idea
Weight gain: 4 lbs
Symptoms: Back pain, headaches, and fatigue are the main ones. I also have been having some sinus pain/pressure and headaches. I don’t know if it’s a cold or a pregnancy symptom (I read that sinus issues are really common in pregnancy), but it is really contributing to my fatigue. Not being able to sleep well sucks when you have to get up and go to work.

Maternity clothes: Yep!
Stretch marks: No
Belly button in or out: in
Sleep: Not great… mostly because of the nasal congestion. My body pillow arrived in the mail though, so I’m eager to try that out.
Best moment this week: Andrew was officially promoted to Staff Sergeant in the US Air Force! It was a long wait… I think we found out that he had passed last August, then he went through ALS that fall. And then we just had to wait for his line number to come up… and he finally got to sew on his new stripe! I’m just so proud of him!!
(I forgot my camera, so we had to make do with cell phone shots. Hoping to get some better ones from the person photographing the event later!)

I thought back to his BMT graduation back in January of 2011 and thought, Look how far he’s come already! I can’t believe it’s been about 3 years that we’ve been in England and just a little longer than that that we’ve been an Air Force family. I’m so thankful for Andrew and for what we have together!
Miss anything: I was feeling jealous of Andrew when he was drinking a hard cider the other day at a cook-out we went to!
Movement: Pretty much every day now, just not consistent times of day yet.
Cravings: Unhealthy things, haha… pizza rolls and Bagel Bites look/sound SO good right now. But I’m really trying to be good!
Looking forward to: Having a 4-day weekend for the 4th of July… I can’t wait to sleep in and relax! Also looking forward to our ultrasound next week!

I am loving that dress in my picture! It’s a maxi maternity dress from Old Navy, and not only is it super comfortable, but it also looks good on me. 🙂 I may be ordering another one soon!
