Halfway there.

How Far Along: 20 weeks and 3 days!! :)



Size of baby:  A cantaloupe.  Baby weighs about 10.2 ounces and measures about 6.5 inches.

Gender: Girl!!  :)  & it's so cute how much Mallory talks about her little sister now.  I think it is really beginning to click for her that there is going to be another baby in the house soon.  Also, I am almost positive that we have picked a name.  I came up with two names that I really liked - Hadley and Malone.  Someone suggested we put them together for Hadley Malone and Patrick and I both love it.  I am leaving the middle name up to Patrick though since I picked Mallory's name and also picked Hadley.  So the first name, Hadley, we are pretty certain of and I feel like Patrick will take his time on confirming the middle name just because I know him so well!


Maternity Clothes: All pants are now maternity.  Still a mixture of regular shirts and maternity shirts.  I never bought a belly band with Mallory and I don't know how I lived without it.  I wear it every single day with Hadley. 


Weight Gain: I have not been on the scales much, but I think it is around 10 pounds now.  I have really "popped" in the last week or two. 


Movement: Lots of movement.  Hadley is a mover and a shaker which is by far my favorite part of pregnancy.  Love the feeling of her moving around. 



Sleep: Sleeping is good except I am wide awake at 6 am every morning and dead tired by 9 every night. 


Symptoms:  I've become a lot more hungry in the past week or two and that's about it.  I started swelling around this point with Mallory.  Hoping and praying that doesn't happen this time!



What I miss:  I can't complain about anything this week. 


Cravings:  Dr Pepper with lots of crushed ice.  I craved it with Mallory too.  I limit myself to only having one occasionally. 


What I am looking forward to:  Our last Christmas as a family of three.  We just had some family pictures taken and Hailey noted that these would be our last family pictures as a family of three.  I had not thought about it before, but we are just cherishing these next few months with Mallory being an only child and enjoying our time with her.
