20 weeks, 3 days

I can't believe I'm posting this...

These belly pics are becoming less and less fun to take. Where is the cute bump I thought I would have now? Instead I just look like I swallowed a barrel. Not so cute.

On a happy note, we have our 20 week ultrasound on Wednesday. I can't wait to see the baby and see how he/she is measuring! I'm hoping everything looks normal. I'm not so excited to see how much weight I've gained now. I've been eating like a horse lately...probably making up for the first 17 weeks that I didn't want to eat at all. I'm just hoping I don't gain 50 pounds again this time. I've tried working out on several occasions over the past couple weeks and each time the Braxton-Hicks contractions start and they don't stop for hours. They are very rhythmic (every 5 minutes), like regular contractions would be, except that they don't increase in intensity. Regardless, it is not normal and could be a sign of pre-labor. I'll be talking to my OB this week to see what I can do about it.

Here is a belly progression from the last 7 weeks. YIKES...I just look really bloated now, not pregnant :(
