Le grand update

OK, so I'm not really sure where to start since so much has gone on since my last blog post. First we obviously went on vacation - we had so much fun with Gabriella and while we had some gripes about the resort, we really had so much fun with her. She was such a little fish! She wore herself out everyday. Traveling wise, she was great on the way there and an utter beast on the way back. But unfortunately we had to skip her nap that day b/c of the flight so I'm going to say that was the culprit.

I had my 20w appt on Monday and all looks well. I'll do a survey down below. Yesterday was Gabriella's 2nd birthday. I cannot believe how fast this 2nd year flew! We had some cake for her on Sunday but otherwise, didn't do anything "special" for her birthday this year. I really wasn't in the mood to have my husband's family over to gorge themselves and be obnoxious. No thanks.

Yesterday we had our big u/s and I am super happy to say that we are expecting a perfect and healthy little GIRL. We had a level II u/s and so we were able to take an in depth look at everything and she's just perfect, weighing in at about 14 oz and measuring about 5 days ahead. We are seriously so excited for Gabriella to have a little sister.

The usual survey:

How far along? 20w5d
Total weight gain/loss: +22lbs (up 6 in a month which I'm pretty happy about)
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Not too shabby. The past 2 nights have been really good actually. Still getting up once to pee, but hell, I can live with that.
Best moment this week: Finding out the baby is healthy and perfect, and of course 2nd to that finding out that it's a girl.
Movement: Yes, some days more often than others, but I definitely am feeling her.
Food cravings: Sweet stuff, like fruit juice and fruit snacks. Odd, I know.
Labor Signs: Well, no, not technically. Something I ate on Sunday didn't agree with me that caused some cramping overnight with a tinge of pink spotting, but after both an internal exam by my OB and the cervical u/s yesterday (cervix was 4.6cm which is great) all was confirmed to be just fine. It was just a irritation flared by a GI issue.
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Well, I would love some decent mat clothes selection. Its not something I necessarily "miss" since mat selection is always crap, but YGWIM.
What I am looking forward to: The weekend.
Milestones: Geez, lots I guess. The u/s, Gabriella's birthday, a good cervix report!
