Baby Floris: Week 20

Hey hey hey!! I’m coming at you a day late with my 20 week pregnancy update because even though it’s only Tuesday this week has been crazy already! 

Yesterday I had an early morning head coaches meeting, track practice, had to clean the apartment, study for a test, take a test and go to the make-up birthing class that I had because I skipped out to go to brunch with my SIL on Sunday. 

I think a nap is definitely on the agenda for today – but first let’s check in on Lavinia. This weekend we hit 20 weeks, I can’t believe we are halfway there!!

WHAT’S BABY FLORIS UP TO?

Lavinia is about the size of a banana.

She is approximately 10 inches long (head to toe) and weighs about 10.2 ounces. 

She now has working taste buds and is swallowing several ounces of amniotic fluid everyday, practicing for when she enters the real world.

WEIGHT GAINED

Haven’t weighed myself in almost a month.

WORKOUTS

Felt pretty good this week! Hit 20+ miles of running for the second week in a row and got in a somewhat long run. You can read my full training summary here.

SYMPTOMS

This week was pretty good in terms of symptoms – nothing to report on. 

MOVEMENT

Ohhhh yes! Now I’m 100% sure that the “bubbles” I talked about last week were her moving and now she is dancing up a storm in there! I get a couple jabs throughout the day but she really starts to move in earnest when I lay down at night to watch a show or go to bed. It is one of the coolest feelings in the world!

FOOD AVERSIONS

NONE! I’m so glad that my sweet tooth seems to be back. It’s definitely not as strong as it used to be but it did let me eat this coconut french toast on Sunday!! Soooooo good!

FOOD CRAVINGS

None. I was really looking forward to pregnancy cravings but so far nothing has really stood out to me. At the moment an In-N-Out burger sounds really good but I’m trying to hold out until Henri gets home because I know it will be one of our first stops once he gets home.

SLEEP

Sleep has improved the past few weeks and this week was even better. I slept through the night with no bathroom interruptions every night and was even able to wake up easily for some early morning wake up calls that I had. The pups aren’t allowed in our bed when Henri is home so I’ve been letting them soak up a few extra nights of cuddling me in bed! 🙂

MATERNITY CLOTHES

Oh yeah! I got my first maternity StitchFix this week and loved everything so much I kept all 5 items. I want to share a post soon about what I got but I’m thinking it might happen after my photographer (aka Henri) gets home. 😀

STRETCH MARKS

Still none yet! 

MISS ANYTHING?

Spicy foods – every time I eat something slightly spicy I get some mild heartburn. It’s nothing bad but it’s enough to make me steer clear of anything even a little spicy. 🙁

BELLY BUTTON IN OR OUT?

Out!

BABY ITEMS PURCHASED

Nothing this week BUT I was this close to buying this tub. The sinks in our apartment are too tiny for any of the in sink tubs so this seems like the perfect solution. 

FAVORITE MOMENT OF THE WEEK

Having popped enough for people to know that I am pregnant just by looking at me. It’s been fun to finally look pregnant all the time and I’m really loving this growing bump of mine!

LOOKING FORWARD TO

Henri coming home (2 DAYS!!!) and our anatomy scan on Friday. I can’t wait for our last peek at our little one and to make sure that everything is in tip-top shape with her in there!
