Maddox {20 Weeks}

How far along? 20 weeks... 1/2 way!!!   Jacoby 20 Weeks

Total weight gain: 7 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yep, most everything is maternity but I'm really feeling a lack of diversity in my maternity wardrobe. I feel like I wear the same thing all the time. Oh well :)
Stretch marks? Not yet. Keeping myself well oiled, haha.
Sleep: Sleep is pretty good. I have mostly stopped sleeping on my belly. I was sleeping fine but found myself waking up with a sore back, probably due to the weird angle I was positioning myself. So my sides (and back some times) are where it's at. I still sleep well like that, so no complaints!
Best moment this week: Nothing in particular. I've been feeling really good. I started decorating for Christmas today so I consider that my favorite moment, even if it's not pregnancy related!
Miss Anything? Not this week.
Movement: Off + on all day. I felt like I wasn't feeling him move enough and then just in the past 2-3 days he's been moving much more often. He must listen well already! haha
Food cravings: All food. I stay busy running around with Jacoby so I don't find myself eating non-stop, but I think I would if I didn't have him as my distraction :) 
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.
Gender: baby boy
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: The one thing I've noticed over the past week would be my heightened sense of smell.  I kept telling Nate that an onion he chopped smelled rotten + like fish. He kept telling me it didn't. Then at work I was really sensitive to a stinky dog (a stinky dog in my line of work is way too common), so I came to the conclusion that Maddox is messing with my nose sensitivities. Could be worse though, right? 
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! I've been feeling good. Also...Thanksgiving is this week. Hello  holidays :) I mean, what girl doesn't want a holiday where she can eat as much as she wants + no one will judge her because she's "eating for 2"? ha!
Looking forward to: On Monday, we have our echocardiogram for Maddox. Not sure excited is the word I'd use but I'm ready.  I think that it'll be fascinating to see {nothing like seeing the little life growing inside of you up close + personal}. I'm praying that he is in a position that the doctor can see everything he needs to, and that Maddox has a beautiful + strong heart! I haven't felt stressed or worried about the situation. I think mainly because I think there are 2 things that can come out of this: 
1. His heart is perfect :) 
2. His heart is not "perfect" as far as doctors see, but I KNOW that my perfect God has got it taken care of. 

So no need for this mama to worry. Stress just adds more pressure on baby ;)  I love you Maddox. You have captured MY heart. I can't wait to yours in a week!
