20 Weeks...Halfway There!

So, I didn't get around to taking a 20 week picture (I'm 21 weeks tomorrow). Too much going on, with too little motivation to get decent for a pic. This little guy will have to do for this week!

How far along? 20 weeks exactly
Total weight gain? 8 lbs...I gained one pound since my last appointment, 4 weeks ago. I find that amazing since I feel huge but I'll take it.
Maternity clothes?  I'm wearing the jeans more and more.  It's weird how much more pregnant I look when I wear the maternity jeans vs. regular jeans. I guess it has something to do with the panel?
Sleep? Still sleeping good and the The Snoogle is keeping me safely on my back for the most part. I love sleeping!
Best moment of the week?  Just today, Michael was able to feel him kick! I knew it was going to be any day. He was so excited and his face just lit up! I was so happy! And, seeing him on ultrasound to find out he's perfect!! I can't believe how much he's grown!
Miss anything?  Nothing!  I really am loving every moment of this!
Movement?  See above! All the time! He is such a good little boy. It's like he knows when I am a little worried something is wrong, he will give me a little kick as to say, "I'm okay, Mom"!
Food cravings?  I actually haven't had Jimmy Johns this week. I am not really craving anything this week.  Just super hungry all.the.time.
Anything make you queasy or sick? Not much.  I did feel familiarly nauseous when I went to lunch with my parents. Every bite I took, I would get a wave. That hasn't happened for a while. But overall, I have been feeling great.
Labor signs? None yet, thank goodness.
Gender?  BOY! No name yet.
Symptoms? As I am sitting here writing this, I'm pretty sure I am experiencing heartburn for the first time. It kind of hurts! I took some Tums, which seem to work pretty fast. I love the drama of pregnancy!
Happy or Moody? Happy but stressed. It's been eventful in our house lately. In the last month, Michael had a colonoscopy that found two pre-cancerous polyps so we will have to watch that closely.  Then, he had to have surgery on his ankle which was no cake walk. At his 2 week follow-up, an extensive blood clot was discovered and I was scared and sad for him. It's been pretty painful for him and has affected his mobility even more than his ankle has. He is getting tired of not being able to get around easily. The day after the blood clot discovery, I had my 20 week ultrasound. Baby boy is perfect but we found out I have a complete placenta previa which officially puts me in the high risk category. Placenta previa is when the placenta covers the opening of the cervix which increases the risk of the placenta tearing away from the uterus and causing less nutrients to the baby. Best case, it moves with my growing uterus and I can have a normal delivery.  Worst, other than the placenta tearing away, I have a c-section at 37 weeks. I will not be allowed to go into labor for risk of delivering the placenta first, cutting off oxygen to the baby. If I start bleeding between now and then, I am on bed rest until it stops. Our doctor thought there was a great chance it would move and things can progress as normal. Phew! It's been quite a month. I recently also found a lump in my right breast which is kind of freaking me out. My doctor seemed pretty unconcerned about it but said we can do an ultrasound if it was bothering me. He said there are so many breast changes in pregnancy, "it could be normal". I'm not taking any chances. It's bothering me. It kind of terrifies me. I'm going to have it checked. To be continued...
Looking forward to...?  The drama being over! I am working on not worrying so much but I have some things on my mind. I'm looking forward to seeing Michael feeling better. I am also looking forward to Michael feeling the baby more. I love his reaction!
Realization of the week? I used to think that infertility was our one trial, which is stupid.  I always said I was grateful that we have our health and that our trial wasn't cancer or something worse. Neither of us has cancer but everything that has happened has made me realize that just because infertility is one of our trials doesn't mean that is all we get. We have dodged a lot of bullets lately but having this baby makes me even more concerned for our health and even more of a worrier. I am just praying we continue to stay healthy for our little man.
