Week 20.

This pregnancy is flying by. My friend Emily is doing a pretty darn good job at documenting her weeks. I am going to be a copy cat and update this every 4 weeks.

How do I feel?

I am thankful, I have felt pretty good this pregnancy. My main symptom is fatigue (and acne like a teenager), but I know it could be worse. Well, I am a bit more hormonal than I am used to (impatient, prone to tears and stress) and other symptoms that I will withhold from the blog.
What do I crave?

For the first 17 weeks, carbs. Pizza, pasta with plain sauce, croissants, bagels, buffalo chicken and blackberries (not together). I finally feel like I can control my diet again and veggies sound really great again.
What surprises me?

For the most part, I haven't felt pregnant. This past week, there is a definite bump and I am beginning to feel faint kicks and the baby moving. I am at the half way mark and I'm starting to feel behind already. (No registry, no daycare plans, no reading on my part on sleeping methods). I am planning to get on the ball in the New Year.
What am I looking forward to?
This week we find out if this baby is a boy or a girl. I certainly have a feeling, so we'll see if this mother's intuition really exists.
