Baby B {20 weeks}

How far along: 20 weeks (half baked)!

Team: Green

Total weight gain/loss: +3lbs

Maternity clothes: lots of maxi dresses, bellyband usage and dresses with tights.

Stretch marks: None so far.

Sleep:  if the need to pee and the tossing and turning and the back pain were gone I would sleep GREAT!

Best moments this week:  MILESTONE - we had out anatomy scan yesterday, the 16th. The baby jumped ahead again by 4 days and is measuring in at 12oz. I was smiling.from.ear.to.ear. baby b does have renal pelvis dilation which is a back up of urine in the kidney's. The normal measurement is 4mm and baby b's left kidney is measuring at 5mm. Our MFM Dr. Rosa said that these things usually work themselves out on their own and it's nothing to worry about, he will take a look again in 4 weeks and that the if it continues to be an issue that at the most baby b will have to have surgery after birth BUT - in the same breath he let us know that he has only seen 2 cases of surgery for RPD during his career.

Belly button in or out?: Innie - sometimes an outtie then back to an innie lol

Craving: none.

What I am looking forward to: a deep sigh of relief

Preeclampsia Watch: No signs.
