20 Weeks: Halfway Through!

I've officially reached the midpoint of the pregnancy.  How crazy is that?!  I will also find out next week what our little bambino's gender is!  I'm very excited about that.

Can you tell I'm a little tired in this pic?  We had just finished packing (by the way, we've been out of town all week down in Costa Rica!) when I remembered that I needed my hubby to take a pic for this post.  He was tired and grumpy and agreed to take one picture.  So, this is what I got, crazy hair and all, haha.  Oh well.  I should have a better pic for next week because hopefully it will be on a beach in Costa Rica! :)


I had a doctor appointment last week and everything was on target.  The baby's heartbeat was about 140 beats per minute.  If you believe that old wives' tale, then that would indicate a boy.  I know many friends where this was not true though!  In the spirit of full disclosure, I gained 10 pounds in the month and a half since my last appointment. :-/  Everything else looked good, but the doctor said I have to be careful that I don't keep gaining weight at that rate.  I have had a bigger appetite than usual lately (sometime days I feel like I'm always hungry), so I'll just have to be more mindful of that and continue to be consistent with my workouts.  I'm not really too worried about it.

I've had a few people tell me that I look small for 20 weeks, which is nice to hear, but I sure feel huge!  The doctor said my belly is measuring right where it should though.

Purple + Teal

I always like playing around with different color combos, and I really like this one!  Guess what - this is my first post wearing maternity clothes!  The shirt is maternity.  The jeans are my regular ones - I can still wear them using the rubber band trick! :)





Many of you know by now that I have a thing for impractically small clutches.  This is one of my favorites that my hubby got me for my birthday last year.  I love how it adds some edge to an outfit with the spikes and studs.

Jeans ~ WHBM
Shoes ~ Bakers (similar here, here, and these are fun!)
