It's a BOY! 20 week bumpdate.

On Monday January 14th, I was 20 weeks pregnant. Hard to believe we are halfway through this pregnancy! We are getting so very excited to meet our little....
BOY!

We found out last Saturday that we are having a little boy, Colin Bennett, with a beautiful baby reveal cake. We had our families over for the big surprise.  It was such an awesome moment that I know we'll remember forever. We even got it on video to share with our little man someday. We cannot wait to meet you baby Colin!

(love this shirt, but it is not flatering for pictures!!)

How far along? 20 weeks

Size? Baby is the size of a large banana

Weight gain/loss? + about 6-7 lbs. depending on the day. Still working out and eating as healthy as possible (with a few indulgences here and there). I am trying to be as healthy as possible for both of us! ;) I'm very visibly pregnant now and I get a kick out of fellow gym-goers reactions to a pregnant lady running on the treadmill. I feel like belting out "don't worry! I got it cleared by my doctor!".

Maternity Clothes? I'm in a mix of both maternity and non-maternity. I think it's nice to be pregnant now...there are so many non-maternity styles that work while pregnant!

Stretch Marks? No sign of them yet!! Fingers crossed!

Sleep? I am finding it most comfortable to sleep on my side/side stomach with my supporting leg bent to keep the weight off the tummy. I tried sleeping with a pillow between my legs but it always ends up on the floor!

 Best Moment of the Week? Finding out that we will be having a little man!! That was by far the best moment this week. At our reveal party last week we also found out about a ring that's been passed down through Hub's family. Uncle Ralph passed the ring onto Hubs so that we can pass it onto our son someday. The ring and special moments are all featured in the pictures above. I will see if I can upload the videos this week.We also enjoyed our hospital tour this week as well. It was nice to get a feel for how things will go once Colin decides it's time to make his debut! (Although I did get faint and had to sit down when the nurse was reviewing the 'pushing' procedures...minor setback. I'm sure my anxiety about the BIG day will start to subside as the day gets closer, right?)

Miss anything? I'm still missing my energy. I've been able to power through four decent workouts this week but I was BEAT by the time I took my shower afterwards. I'm learning how to balance and sit down when I need a break.

Movement?Starting to feel lots of movement!  Hubs got to feel his first flutters this week as well!

Food Cravings? Nothing to crazy. I had a hankering for Raisin Bran of all things this week. Took care of that yesterday!

Anything make you queasy or sick? Not really. Might be ready to try shrimp again!

Gender? BOY!!!

Labor signs? no way...too soon! 

Symptoms? Starting to get some shortness of breath, but not too bad.

Belly button in or out? In!

Wedding rings on or off? On <3

Mood? Excited!! We will be starting the nursery this coming week!

Looking forward to? Starting the nursery! I came up with an inspiration board and started making a list of the decor items I'd like to start purchasing this week. My parents will be here next weekend to start the painting for sweet baby Colin's nursery.
