How far along? 20 weeks

How big is baby? Banana, according to the week by week on this site. Anatomy scan is scheduled for July 13th at 21 weeks

Total weight gain? 0lbs so far!

Maternity clothes? Yes. Even without weight gain, my normal clothes do not fit very well. I've been living in yoga capri's and maternity shorts. Shirts I've just been buying 2 sizes too big.

Stretch marks? Old ones, and they are getting itchy.

Sleep? Insomnia is starting to kick in majorly. I'm averaging about 3 hours of sleep a night, all broken up. My youngest is starting to sleep better at night, but I'm still up with him at least twice. Plus, all the bathroom trips in the middle of the night.

Belly button in or out? In

Movement? Some thumping going on in there, getting stronger every time I feel her. I'm feeling her more and more, but it's still sometimes only every other day.

Boy or Girl? Three is a GIRL!

Food cravings? coffee, ice, nachos

Labor signs? Not yet.

Symptoms? headaches/borderline migraines, exhaustion, swelling

Engagement rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time? It's hit or miss with my moods. My depression and anxiety are flaring up again badly. I'm going to talk to my ob about it and see what she recommends as far as meds or not. I had a HUGE anxiety attack last night when our power went out at 10:30 until around 2 am.

Best moment last week? Spending all last week in Texas with my best friend.

Worst moment last week? Not enjoying our vacation enough.

Miss anything? Sleeping on my stomach, sleep in general, not feeling as big as a house

Looking forward to? My anatomy scan Monday. I'm anxious to see baby girl again.

The fruit & veggie think drives me nuts! Sorry you're dealing with anxiety. I use to have issues with it but they have slowed down a lot within the last year or so. I hope you find some relief. Good luck at your appointment! My anatomy scan is July 1th at I can't freaking wait!!!!

Summer, thank you. Normally I am able to control it fairly easy, but this pregnancy has really thrown me for a loop. Meditation and yoga usually help but lately it's been making it worse. =/

Kitten, I find it funny too! My 5 year old held a banana up to my belly yesterday and said it didn't look right and how can his baby sister look like a banana? My ob has little figures of babies at her office, so when we go Monday, I am going to ask if she will show him so he can get a better idea.

I always thought it was funny some of the fruits and veggies they use for comparison lol! I know they are just using the length measurement but it's just hilarious thinking of there being a banana in there

You're half-way there! Congrats! I have an appointment on July 13th as well. Can't wait! I have chronic anxiety, so I understand how horrible it is to deal with. Hopefully it eases up for you soon!
