20 Weeks

That's right everyone! It's a girl!!! I have to say that I'm pretty darn excited about this.. Like even more excited then I thought I would be! Although Scott has known it was a girl for the past couple months now he admitted that when he got into the ultrasound room he realized he hoped it was a boy. Not because he didn't want a little girl. Just that he's already raised a little boy and two Jacob's would be even better then one. He also admitted having a girl makes him nervous. :) I'm sure what he is feeling is no more different then how I felt after finding out Jacob was a boy. It definitely makes you a little nervous to have a child a different gender then yourself. All the sudden it scares you that you aren't going to be able to relate to your child and you wont know how to take care of them. But I can say now from first hand experience that it's not as hard as you think it's going to be. I have been able to relate to Jacob more then I thought I would be able to and I love having a little boy! I think Scott will come to find he experiences the same feelings. It was also a good thing we were finding out the gender because almost the very first shot of our little girl was of her bum as they tried to figure out exactly what position she was in so they could do all the measurements. It was a very very brief shot, just a scroll over really, but I guess when you've already seen what a boy looks like, and there is an appendage missing, was pretty obvious. So we knew before they even got to the gender revealing part of the ultrasound that it was a girl. They said they can't be 100% sure with girls ever but the ultrasound tech was about 97% sure it was a girl. :)

So baby girl Bergy is measuring perfectly! All of her measurements were around the 40th to 50th percentile and she weighs 12 ounces. :) This is much different then Jacob's 90th percentile measurements and 1 lb 1 ounce weight, which I'd have to say I'm perfectly fine with! Her biggest measurement was her femur bone at 53%. This was Jacob's smallest measurement. And her head was the smallest at 40%. Which was Jacob's biggest measurement. It's funny they are completely opposite in that sense. She was also in the heads down position which is great as long as she keeps it that
way! Everything on the ultrasound looked perfect and there weren't any signs of complications. And can I say I just love ultrasounds and being able to see my cute baby wiggle around all over the place! I loved watching her move and feel it at the same time. It really is just the greatest! The only sad part of a non complicated ultrasound is that we wont get more of them! With Jacob because of his large size and later because he was breech we got to have many many ultrasounds with him. Looks like Baby Girl Bergy is already cooperating better! And we want to keep it that way!

How far along? 20 Weeks, Half way there people!

Total weight gain/loss: Up 10 lbs. Now let's see if I only gain 10 more in the second half of my pregnancy. :)

Maternity clothes? I'm thinking of pulling those maternity pants out soon....

20 Weeks

Sleep: I've still been sleeping great!

Movement: Love feeling her move! Love having Scott feel her move as well!

Feeling sick? Yup, still throwing up every 4-6 days.

Other pregnancy symptoms? Some heartburn here and there. I also feel like some of those food aversions that I've had through my whole pregnancy are starting to leave me. Like eating bread, cheese and ground beef. I still don't have any desire whatsoever to eat a hamburger. I also really think salad looks soooo good. But it still doesn't taste good. Also I have started to feel so full after my evening meals even when I haven't eaten that much. I hate it. It feels so uncomfortable.  It's like it doesn't matter how little I eat it feels like I just ate a whole pizza by myself. I got this with Jacob as well. But I don't know if I got it this early...

Have you started to show yet? Yes I have. At 19 weeks a complete stranger asked me about being pregnant. That means I've passed the not looking prego just fat stage. YAY!

Now here is my first half progression pictures. I've also added my progression pictures of Jacob so you can see the difference. :) Jacob is obviously the blue one. ;)
