20 Week Bumpdate

I can’t believe I am officially halfway done with my first pregnancy! It’s crazy how slow it went in the beginning and now I feel like it is racing by. Brock and I have been traveling a lot more now that I am feeling energized and all around better. There have just been a lot of exciting things happening the past few weeks so I’m excited to share with you guys and answer these questions!

How Far Along ?

– 21 weeks!

Weight Gain?

– I have gained 14 pounds so far. I think I gained the most in the first trimester because I actually had to eat every 45 minutes all day and night to avoid getting nauseous. Now I am eating 4 or five smaller meals a day since I don’t have nausea anymore.

Maternity Clothes?

– My mom got me a few pairs of maternity leggings and jeans right away so I’ve been wearing them but I probably don’t need to yet. I will say that I don’t like anything super tight. I can’t wear my normal size in Lululemon leggings unless they are a stretchier pair. My favorite things to wear currently are t-shirt dresses or zelle’s ultrasoft leggings!

Sleep?

– Sleep hasn’t been too big of an issue. I’ll have to get up to pee at least twice but fall back asleep right away for the most part. I have been using a pregnancy pillow that makes it easier to get comfy without sleeping on my stomach or back. I am normally in bed super early around 9 or 10 and wake up around 7 am. So even if I don’t sleep too well I still get a decent amount of sleep in.

Best Moment This Week? 

– I think he is starting to recognize my voice more! I hadn’t felt him kick in a while so I started talking to him and asking him to kick for me and then he gave me a couple of big ones. It made me so happy whether he was responding to my voice or not just to know he was still moving around in there!

Baby Movement?

– Yes!!! I felt him for the first time around 16 weeks but was unsure if it was really him. Now at 21 weeks, I feel him all day and night especially after I eat! My doctor said the placenta is actually in the front of my belly so he is just kicking that but because I am thin it makes sense I feel him so much. He definitely is a kicker and a puncher!

Food Cravings?

– I haven’t had any weird cravings but I have been wanting Taco bell a lot more than normal. And while I’m trying my best to eat healthily, but baby boy has a bigger sweet tooth than his momma! He makes me eat all the sweets…I think I have ice cream or a chocolate shake almost every night.

Babymoon?

– Brock and I are leaving for our Babymoon next weekend actually! I am so excited to be going to Maui, Hawaii. We just got back from his cousin’s wedding in Playa del Carmen, Mexico so that was a mini babymoon in itself. But I’m excited to get some alone time and relax on the beach before I start feeling sluggish again and baby boy makes his appearance.

Something You’re Looking Forward To?

– Meeting him! It all feels so real now and I absolutely love being pregnant and still have halfway to go but I just can’t wait to hold him and see his little face! I’m also so excited to see Brock become a dad. He was seriously born to be one and I know he is going to be amazing.

I hope you enjoyed my 20 week bumpdate. I’ll hopefully keep feeling good so I’ll be able to update your more as baby and belly grow!

    You are looking fabulous at 21 weeks! With my first two, this was the time I really felt like I could enjoy being pregnant and finally had that “pregnancy glow.” Before you know it, your little one will be here in your arms!

How to Relieve Stress

Hi, I’m Kelly!

When I became a mom I completely lost myself. I was exhausted and anxious and knew that I could be more than just a tired mama. Now I've built a life I'm proud of as a stay at home mom. I want to show tired mamas that you don't have to choose between yourself and your kids. You can build a life you're proud of too!
