Slowly but surely my belly is getting bigger! I can still wear (BARELY!) my normal slacks for work, but I think after this week I won't be able to any more. I'm REALLY not looking forward to wearing maternity pants. Let is be known. I'm considering wearing leggings daily or only skirts and dresses for the next 22 weeks. But, I know I will want to wear pants someday, so I better get shopping this weekend! A few updates this week:
- I have been eating a LOT of peanut butter. I eat it on my whole wheat English muffins in the morning instead of butter. I eat it in the middle of the night when I get hungry and need some protein. I eat it as a snack pretty much all the time. So grateful I can eat peanut butter again! We get it at WINCO and it's literally only peanuts that you grind at the store. It's awesome and SUPER healthy!
- I feel the baby move more and more. The other night, I woke up to go to the bathroom. When I got back in bed, I felt the baby moving for probably about 45 minutes or so! This baby was doing all sorts of acrobatics it felt like. I'm sure she/he will be strong just like dad and mom! Just preparing for rock climbing.
- I already feel like I have to pee all of the time. I cannot imagine how bad it's going to get week by week!
- This week, I really noticed that I can NOT sleep on my back any longer. Not only does it feel like there is a weight in my stomach pressing down, but it just doesn't feel uncomfortable. I need to invest in a nice body pillow or two to stay comfortable in the night as I know it's only going to get worse!
- Something I'm looking forward to this coming week... I get to have my 20-week ultrasound on Saturday! Honestly, the part I'm most excited about is seeing the baby again and seeing that the baby is healthy and strong! Of course, I'm also excited to find out the baby's gender so we can name this baby instead of calling him/her "Sargie" or "Adelaide" all the time. :)

So cute. You need to stand more sideways so we can see how much your tummy sticks out :)
Ditto and ditto! You look great in all of your pictures and I would love to see more side shots so we can really see the growth happening!
Sarah, you are the cutest, by the way. And I LOVE pb and whole wheat eng. muffins...my FAVE! If I want it to be sweet I eat it with bananas, Joey loves choc chips melted on his. I'm happy you can eat more, it's no bueno or nicht gut when you're not feeling well :) Thanks for your encouragement and advice, you are loved! (AND missed...everytime I study in the Smith foyer I think of you :)
