20 weeks

What's been happening: More like what hasn't been happening!! He is growing at a ridiculous rate at the moment. He now weighs approx 360gms and is 27cm in length. Which is nearly double the length from the 18 week update! As for me, I am feeling great! My skin has finally cleared up, thank god as that was beginning to take a serious toll on my confidence.. I'm feeling really energetic & fit, and I'm sporting quite the cute wee bump now. Loving every minute of it lately. 

Weight gained:  I don't know & I don't really care. What I do know though is that all of the variety of exercise lately has been making me feel loads better so I'll just stick to that rather than hanging out by the scales. 

Workouts: Lots! Went to the gym 4 times last week, mixing up cardio & weights + yoga and spin. Yes spin. Somehow on Sunday, I felt the urge to return, I think I like it? Even if I do feel slightly harassed afterwards... 

Movement: All day everyday! He is a busy boy that's for sure. Oli felt his first kick over the weekend too & I think it finally dawned on him that we are going to have another baby! Should have seen his face... 

Food Aversions: Nada really, I am loving my food lately, I can work with anything. 

Food cravings: Over the past week I have had; 3 paddle pops, 2 snickers icecreams, 1 drumstick and 1 gelato. So if you do the maths, I've had icecream everyday. I fear as the temp rises these numbers will rise with them.. How freaking good are snickers icecreams though? 

Sleep: Blake has been waking at 2am consistently for a cuddle lately, it used to be cute but the novelty has kind of worn off now. What I don't get is how Oli sleeps through it every single night? Unless he's just a pro pretend sleeper... Either way- I'm well and truly ready for a full nights sleep. 

Miss anything: Same as last time- beer. 

Fun/ interesting things for the week: When we went to the beach yesterday I got some hilarious looks, I was holding Blake on one hip in my bikini and I think people couldn't figure out whether I was pregnant or just hadnt lost the tummy from Blake yet. Some people just stared for an awkward amount of time & some looked so confused, I had to laugh. I think of the pregnant belly like a balloon though, surely people can tell the difference? When you're pregnant it looks inflated, and after you give birth it looks deflated and saggy, unless you're Miranda Kerr, but she's not human. Fembot for sure. 

Stretchmarks; None yet, I didn't get any on my belly last time but I already have a fair amount on my hips/ thighs, I hope they don't increase. And there's just no hope for my boobs, they were stretched beyond return when my milk came in last time. 

Happy or moody: Happy as a hippo

Looking forward to: Bali!! I'll be 6 months preg when we go & what better time to kick my feet up by the pool, read & eat copious amounts of food. It'll be a babymoon- how Hollywood of us!

Bump update: This morn pre breaky (I probably should have put some pants on but I couldn't be bothered dressing for the shoot) I definitely feel bigger at this stage than I was last time but I'm enjoying this size immensely. Can't bloody believe we're already halfway either!
