Bumpdate {20 weeks}

• How far along? 20 weeks 4 days
• Weight Gain/Loss: I finally gained some weight! I'm up four pounds
• Sleep: I'm coming to terms with the idea that sleep will never be the same
• Best moment this week: our anatomy scan ultrasound on Wednesday! It couldn't have gone better, and yes, we know the sex of baby Bolinger! Ill spill the secret soon :)
• Movement: more and more each day. Our ultrasound tech said because of my placenta location, it's absorbing a lot of the movement. 
• Food Cravings: the usual. I'm excited to eat all my favorites this weekend at our mini gender reveal on Sunday with our family :)
• Food Aversions: ground meat
• Belly Button: Actually noticed it's looking more shallow this week, probably because baby's head is right underneath
• Stretch Marks: Nope
• Symptoms: aside from some morning dry heaving, or anytime I'm hungry, it's been a pretty good week
• What I miss: feeling hungry without feeling sick
• What I’m looking forward to: my family's reaction at the gender reveal! They are so excited and it's so nice. I don't feel like many other people (aside from my "mom friends" of course!) are that excited so we decided to just keep the party to family. Luke's family had their own opinions when we told them we were finding out, so it kind of makes me feel like they are only coming to be nice. Whatever! Luke and I need all the positive warm-fuzzies we can get during this pregnancy - surprises aren't so great when all you know are the bad kind during previous pregnancies. We love that we know, and it's helping us feel like it's really going to happen!

This last week has been aaaamazing! I already shared a few pictures from the Avalanche game and our Steamboat trip. I was really excited going into our doctor appointment, but as it got closer the nerves started up as well. I don't think I'll ever get away from that. We started with the ultrasound, and I told Andi, the tech, that I wanted all the good news she could give me as we went along. She was great about telling us what she was looking at, and that everything was good. One of the first things she told us, after letting us hear the heartbeat, was the gender! We were both pretty silent (aside from some teary-eyed "wow"s and "oh my gosh"s) when she told us, just because it was so crazy to hear! She thought we were disappointed and jokingly told us to start getting used to it, but I told her it's just that we've never made it to this point in a pregnancy so it doesn't seem real. We are both beyond thrilled and either way would have reacted the same way! Baby was measuring exactly on track, and is estimated to be in the 50th percentile for weight at 11 oz. Is that not crazy?! I keep thinking that a block of cream cheese (you can tell I'm a healthnut ha) is 8oz, and baby is almost one and a half of those. That's heavy! No wonder I'm getting uncomfortable :) 

Here's a picture from Thursday. I purchased this dress from Marshall's and I'm totally buying into the whole maxi dress for preggos thing! Normally these dresses are anything but flattering on my but I'm loving them now! Dont mind the puppy tail, he's my shadow most days :)
