Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy except for the 8 straight hours I threw up every 15 minutes. I’ll spare you the gory details, but…yuck!

Graham Moment this week: He says so many funny things. He told his Mims this week, “I have a baby in my belly and it’s a wonderful experience.” Where in the world does he come up with these things?

The look of "awe" in his eyes!

Halfway there!

How far along?  20 Weeks

Total weight gain: Back to 0…again, thanks to the stomach virus…I’ve developed quite the bump. See picture
Maternity clothes? I love having an excuse to wear stretchy clothes all the time!

Sleep: When my toddler allows it, I’m not sure why or how he wakes so frequently, but it would be awesome if he slept like a toddler instead of an infant!
Best moment this week: Christmas! It was the most wonderful Christmas we have had yet. We finally got the opportunity to wake up in our own home on Christmas morning. Graham was able to verbalize his excitement which makes Christmas so much more enjoyable. I can’t wait to share it with you next year!

Miss Anything? No, my life is pretty normal

Movement: Flutters, Kickboxing, Fist Pumping

Food cravings: My appetite has decreased significantly from that dreaded stomach virus. I’m eating half of what I was before.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Sweets. What a time of the year to not want or enjoy sweets. Bummer!

Gender: Surprise!
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: None

Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Who could be anything but overjoyed at Christmas time with a 2 yr old?!?

Graham’s Best Moment This Week: Christmas. Have I mentioned how much he loves his blue tractor??
