21 weeks

Baby's now the size of a banana!

Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion, and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. 

or for those not familiar with the fruit variety ... thebump has given us some new (supposed to be dad-related) references. HA!

we are getting closer to a name, at least i think. we have a few that we like with one being pretty high on our list. excited to share once we decide!

i had my first scary experience on memorial day. i was having constant cramping - almost like period cramps and really weird colored pee. then i thought about the past two days and how i drank absolutely no water. i thought i could be somewhat dehydrated. i started chugging water and wouldn't ya know ... the cramping went away and pee turned back to it's normal coloration. phew. don't forget to drink water, kaley! 

i'm also having CRAZY pregnancy dreams. i mean, craaaaaaaaazy. most of the time i can remember them but couldn't dare describe them to anyone without stumbling all over the place. 

20 weeks!

your baby's the size of a banana!

Baby weighs about 10.2 ounces and measures about 6.5 inches. She's still got a lot of growing to do though. Can you believe you're halfway done?

How far along: 20 weeks! half way mark.

Total weight gain: zero as of doctors appointment last week - but i did eat strawberry shortcake and a HUGE bowl of ice cream last night so i'd say i've gained. ha!

Maternity clothes: still not entirely there yet, i hate maternity bands. 

Stretch marks: nothing new.

Sleep: good, as long as i have my boppy pillow.

Miss anything: eh, feeling 'light'. ha!

Movement: oh yes, quite often! :)

 Food cravings: terrible things ... like ice cream, soda, 5 guys. ha!

Anything making you queasy or sick: nope.

Have you started to show yet: yeh.

Gender: boy!

Belly button in or out: still in .. somewhat.

Wedding rings on or off: on, always.

Happy or moody most of the time: happy.

Looking forward to: picking a name!

i'm so happy that i'm at the halfway mark. although it still feels like this pregnancy is going slow ... knowing i'm halfway there makes it all the better. 

i love feeling him move and kick all day long ... and mr kullen is still desperately trying to feel him as well [although its hard with an attention span of a gnat!] the heat is already taking it's toll though .. can't wait for the pool to open! 

aside from adam feeling the baby kick - nothing new this week! here's hoping by next week we have a name! ;)

How far along: 15 weeks!

Total weight gain: zero. i was actually down a few ounces. not sure how since my belly looks oober fat. :/ but standing strong at 138.

Sleep: still good ... sleeping half on side/half on tummy [while i still can!]

Best moment of this week: hearing baby's heartbeat.

Movement: i think i have felt him/her move but nothing definite.

 Food cravings: still cereal ... life, cocoa pebbles & fruity pebbles. nom.

Wedding rings on or off: on, always.

Happy or moody most of the time: this week, more happy.

Looking forward to: finding out what this orange is!

things are still going good around here. starting to get a little heart burn here and there but trying to stay away from foods that trigger. sleep is still alright but seems to be getting a tad worse (positioning wise) each night. 

my hair and skin is terrible .. i get a new zit every day (okay, maybe slight exaggeration but still ... a lot more than usual) and i feel like my hair is so flat and dull. blah! 

but, energy is creeping back around .. i find myself motivated to do things a lot ... even if i don't end up doing anything .. at least motivation is back! haha!

Looking forward to: doctors tomorrow!

everything is going good so far. feeling okay aside from having some pregnancy depression symptoms [which, i know, is the worst thing EVER to say but this is my blog and i'll be honest]. i never had these feelings with my other pregnancies before so it's hard for me to deal with but things have been getting better. 

we have an appointment in two weeks to find out the gender. can't wait. ever since our NT scan where i thought i saw a wenis, i have this feeling it's another boy. and if it is - it's not the end of the world - it'll actually work out great because everything from rhys can be reused but lets face it, i wants a girl! 

according to those dumb theories ... all signs point to girl [chinese gender predictor, baking soda, cravings, bad skin/hair] but i guess we won't know until our appointment. but, if i had to put money on it - i'd say i'll be having another boy. ;)

it's a ...

BABY :)

yep!

most of you following my instagram already know this

BUT

just in case you missed it

the poags are growing! 

obviously, i waited on 'announcing' because of last time

but currently we are 13.5 weeks and everything is going great so far.

[and hopefully - baby GIRL!]
