20 Weeks

How's Mom Feeling?

Wow another week has already gone by! It's crazy to think that I am halfway there! This week has been a good one, no complains. I've started exercising and walking a lot this week. We had our baby appointment Friday and that went very well. Told my midwife I was interested in having a water birth so she gave me information on that! I already know labor is going to be just excruciating pain but I heard having a water birth is a great way to cope with the pain naturally. I am looking forward to having a water birth and I am so glad IMC offers water birth for women. Knowing it's in a hospital is reassuring "if" anything goes wrong. But overall, just another great week of feeling the baby move and kick! :) 

Baby is the size of a Banana

 

Your baby at 20 weeks

• He's got working taste buds.
• Now, he's gulping down several ounces of amniotic fluid each day -- that's significantly more than before.

 Best Memory this Week? 

The best memory this week was spending the weekend up in Park City with Zach. It was technically for our two year anniversary but we kind of made it our babymoon trip as well! 

On Friday we had our baby appointment so after that we left to Park City! When we got there, we checked into our hotel. It was called the Marriott hotel.  It was very nice, of course the room we got wasn't anything fancy, we just wanted a place to sleep pretty much. But overall we were very happy with the hotel.  They surprised us with chocolate dipped strawberries and sparkling cider for our Anniversary! That was so sweet of them! 

The next day we went for breakfast and then to the outlet mall and we shopped til we dropped! haha it was a lot of fun because we also bought baby stuff and got some really great deals on clothes! Afterwards we went to the movies and saw Iron Man 3 (which was really good by the way)! After the movies we went to a nice dinner.  At dinner, Zach surprised me with great news and told me they offered him the job position and pay raise at Theradoc! In case you didn't know Zach was actually a "contract-to-hire employee" which pretty much made him a temp. We pretty much knew he would get the job at the start, we just had to wait for the HR to get the paper work done! But after a long wait, we are so grateful to know that he will be a full time worker with benefits!  :) 

We both had such a great weekend in Park City! It was so simple and so stress free. I am glad we didn't go anywhere far or expensive! It was just nice to just get away and have a change of scenery. I definitely want to do this again!
