20 weeks

Today marks 20 weeks of pregnancy down, 20 weeks left to go!
It's gone by so fast, but at the same time it seems like I have forever to go until I can hold my baby girl!

We found out a few weeks ago that baby is a girl. There's a small chance that was not accurate, but I feel pretty confident she is a she. We have our anatomy scan on April 23rd to confirm it :)
We have decided on the name Ryann for her. Yes, we like boy names for our girls :P

So far this pregnancy has been pretty dang easy. No morning sickness, no real growing pains *yet*. The only things I have to complain about are acid reflux, headaches, and I do have Symphysis Pubis Disorder- where the ligaments holding my pelvic bones together relax too much and cause some pretty UNWANTED pain :P. So far it's been fairly mild, but I'm sure as my belly grows it's gonna get worse. 

Ryann is now kicking and moving all the time. I started feeling her little movements around 11 weeks but they were just light, swift movements, like a fingertip brushing across your skin. Then it turned to popcorn like movements and now she's got tiny karate moves going on. Sometimes I can feel her flipping about. 

I think I read online that at 20weeks they start measuring baby from head to toe instead of head to rump and she should be about 10 inches from head to toe now! That's insane! :) They grow so fast! 


My belly has sure popped in the past week or two! I'm getting nervous thinking about how large it's gonna get! lol

We've started buying baby things here and there. Not a lot, since we really don't need much. We have started on her newborn cloth diaper stash. So far we have 7 newborn diaper covers, and 6 aio's. We just need to get the 30 prefolds and a few snappis and she's set. I've been trying to think of what else we will need, the list is pretty short since we kept most everything from Emmie. I think I need a new nursing cover, a swing, and she'll need some winter clothes-gotta figure out what sizes once I go through Emmie's clothes. Other than that I don't think we really *need* anything. I think I've decided no on the double stroller. We can't seem to find one that is compact enough to fit in our trunk and there's really no point. I can carry one kid in my Ergo and push the other one...so why waste the money?

I'm just blabbing about now. Emmie is napping and I have nothing else to do :P
