20 Weeks

Well, we have only about 3.5 days til we found out whether Baby Kaye is a girl or boy! We were suppose to wait until Thursday, but I received a call from the Drs office this week asking if we could move it to Tuesday. Move it up 2 days? Yes Please!!!! Even though we swear it's going to be a girl, we will get to officially know on Tuesday! I am excited to get so see another pic of Baby Kaye and hear that tiny fast heartbeat again. It will also be so cool for Ryan to actually get to hear the heartbeat for the FIRST time. He has missed it every other time, so I'm really looking forward to him getting the chance. Maybe it will finally feel more real for him once he does, since I'm the only one that gets to hear and felt everything so far.
 In more good baby news, I got to feel the baby move for the first time last Saturday. It is the craziest, yet coolest feeling ever! I was lying on the couch and the baby kept moving for like ten mins. It was awesome and of course made me cry, gotta love preggo hormones! Since then, I've felt Baby Kaye move a lot this week. I finally got to take a nice relaxing bath this week and the baby either hated it or loved it, because the baby moved the entire time I was relaxing in the tub. If Baby Kaye is anything like me or their grandma, they will love bath time.
I've only taken one baby bump pic recently and can't seem to download it on the computer, hope I can soon though. It's been hard about getting excited to do so when I feel I'm still so small at 5 months and have my husband and everyone else telling me I''ve hardly gained any weight. My pants don't button anymore and my shirts are all tight on me, so to me I know I've gained weight and have a little bump, but its still there!  Oh well, as long as this little canolope in my tummy is happy and healthy, so am I. :)
 The preggo cravings have officially hit full force and it is so weird! I haven't craved anything weird combined like most preggo women say they do. I've just been craving things and I HAVE TO HAVE THEM! I mean obsessive to the point nothing compares or tastes good to I have what I'm craving and spent my days thinking about food until I eat what I crave. I've never had that feeling before. I literally cried one day because I was craving a Chicken Fajita Roll-up with Mexi-Ranch from Applebees so bad and the closest Applebees is Branson, 1.5 hrs away!!!  I even tried to make one myself for dinner because I couldn't get it off my mind and had to have it and it so wasn't the same! Its been the only downside about being pregnant in a small town, they dont have all of the restaurants that I'm craving food from. You think baby would know that and only crave food I can actually get, umm, nope! If I could get some Chik-Fil-A, that would be amazing too! I did have a craving for a sno cone last week and luckily got one of those and yesterday I was craving country fried steak and my wonderful hubby came and took me to lunch to have that! Country fried steaks are usually so huge and I could never finish one all by myself,but yesterday I ate almost the whole thing and boy was it delicious!!!! And crazy thing was, after about 2 hours later, I was hungry again! LOL Well, it is so nice to know that I'm actually getting cravings and want to eat, because a few months ago I was really starting to wonder if I'd ever like food again! Ryan has been so great with my cravings and tries to satisfy them, if they are possible and in Mountain Home's reach. LOL I went to the store last week and bought bagels and cream cheese and told Ryan he could have some and he replied, "No, I didn't want to eat them in case it was one of your preggo cravings this week and didnt want to lose a hand." LOL Well, I'm not that bad with my cravings, but at least he was nice enough to think of me first!
