20 week chalkboard - halfway there!

Hi sweet little baby,
It's here. The halfway point. It honestly feels like we just found out that I was pregnant again, and now we're 20 weeks in and halfway there. I know people say that kids grow up really fast and you'll miss it if you blink, but I rarely hear that about a pregnancy. Except this one. This one has gone by so incredibly fast and has been so easy! I know the hard part is coming up in a few months, but I hope you know how much I've enjoyed this so far.

How far along: 20 weeks
Gender: Little baby girl <3
Maternity clothes: I rocked maternity leggings, yoga pants, and maxi skirts all week. No shame.
Sleep: Nope. In fact, I started drafting this at 3:30am, if that tells you anything.
Best moment this week: Pemberley took her first steps on her own! Also, the Royals won their first World Series in over 30 years, and school was cancelled for the celebration parade on Tuesday. It was a good week.
Worst moment this week: The mood swings I came home from work with on Friday. Holy shit, these hormones are no joke. I legitimately almost ugly cried at the dinner table because Raleigh didn't put enough vegetables on Pemberley's pizza. Ridiculous.
Miss anything: Being able to sit in the car for longer than 15 minutes and not have to move to get comfortable. And the couch is an impossible space to navigate around, which means I pretty much end up in bed by 7pm.
Movements: They're getting more frequent and stronger every day <3
Cravings: Cold strawberries, and iced tea with crushed ice from QuikTrip.
Queasy or sick: Just moody as hell that one day; otherwise feeling fantastic.
Looking forward to: Our anatomy scan on Tuesday!!! Grannie gets to come with me, and I'm really excited to share that with her :)

I'm sure next week will be huge for us, baby girl! I can't wait to keep you updated!
So much love,

      Thank you for the compliment! These mood swings are NO JOKE lately. It's weird because I've been totally fine up until now. You'll know what I mean someday, and then you can email me! Although I'm sure there's nothing you love more than random emails from pregnant mamas, right?? ;)
