First off, we had our 20 week appointment yesterday, and all was fine. The baby's heartbeat was 140 (normal) and our test results all came back great. Less than 1 in 5000 chance our child have some birth defect/genetic disorder. I did, however, begin the process of gaining weight. Since my 16 week appointment, I have gained 9 lbs! Not used to stepping on the scale and seeing that number pop up! HA. I am right on target, most women gain 10lbs by 20 weeks. So, even though a little shocked, I'm right where I should be :) From now on, I should be gaining about 1 lb. a week.
As far as my sour addiction goes, it is gone! That little craving lasted about 2 weeks, thank goodness! My allergies, however, are something I am going to have to struggle with through the whole pregnancy. I have began taking allergy medicine, and I am feeling much better. The only other thing I have "complained" about is the constant need to pee! That, thankfully, has subsided a little. I know they say it gets worse the further along you go, but mine has actually gotten a little better. I am only waking up once, maybe twice, a night now to go...before it was 3-4 times. Such relief, I need all the sleep I can get!
We are very excited for tomorrow and can't wait to find out the sex of the baby! I think we are both just praying the baby doesn't have its legs crossed! HA!
