Hi Friends!
Well, the big day is almost here! Monday we have our 20 week appointment and with that comes the gender reveal ultrasound. I thought it’d be fun to let you guys get your guesses in first though!
So here we go:
Morning sickness?
Yes. Nauseous all day every day until 17 weeks and then nauseous about 50% of the day for weeks 18 & 19.
Heartburn?
Yes, mainly weeks 17-19.
Weight gain?
It took me until 16 weeks to get back to my starting weight after losing some when I felt sick all day. Since then I’ve gained about 3 pounds.
Maternity clothes?
Not really. I have one pair of maternity jeans that I wear if I need to wear pants. Otherwise, regular stuff is working. I did buy some shorts that are larges instead of mediums to wear to crossfit just because they’re more comfortable…but they’re not maternity. I think they’ll be coming soon though. I need to find some tank tops that are more comfortable for both everyday wear and workouts.
Visible bump?
It’s visible to me…and to people who really know what my stomach used to look like. But to others, especially strangers, probably not. Also keep in mind that I’m 5’11 and have a long torso.
Trouble sleeping?
Not really. I usually have to pee 2x at night and sometimes I have trouble falling back to sleep after I get up to feed the dogs around 5:30…but not much trouble falling asleep yet.
Aches and pains?
Aside from being sore from Crossfit, not really. My lower back and hip bother me occasionally, lower back especially from weeks 6-16, but both of those things also bothered me before I was pregnant…
Cravings and aversions?
Carrots and avocado are still not sounding great to me. Chipotle and dessert always sound good.
Baby’s heart rate?
From what I can remember…134, 144, 140 BPM at various appointments.
Mood:
Overall pretty good. I had a few emotional breakdowns around weeks 16-17 when I wasn’t sure I was ever going to stop feeling nauseous.
Can’t wait to find out!!
Enjoy your weekend!

EA-The Spicy RD says
I’m not going to guess, but so excited for you! My husband and I found out w/our first {girl} and were surprised w/ our second {boy}-both ways were fun! I gained pretty much the same amount of weight with each, had pretty bad heartburn {went away immediately after they were born} w/ each, and was actually more nauseous w/ my boy, which is a little more unusual…so that’s why I’m not guessing 🙂 Congrats!!!

Denise G. says
I’m going with girl.
I have a 3 month old and I was sure I was having a girl (I had little girls in my dreams, and all those silly quizes online pointed to girl) so we went to the ultrasound and the tech said it had been a day of all boys and I proudly announced well that’s about to change. When she turned the screen I immediately saw that we were definitely having a boy and asked my hubby if he knew what “that” was. He had no clue so I got to tell him you got your boy. (There are no girls in my family so they were all pulling for a girl, but daddy wanted a boy eventually so he was happy we got it on the first try.)
It felt so good to know so I could finally call the baby him and we could narrow down the name – the girl name was picked in about 10 minutes but the boy was much more involved.

Erin @ Erin's Inside Job says
I read this and thought “wasn’t she the one who wrote a post about having a hard time getting pregnant??” I haven’t read religiously and just happened to see this today. I am really happy for you and am so glad that things worked out the way they were supposed to for you.
Whatever sex the baby is, your pregnancy is a blessing and you’ve given hope to those who struggle with getting pregnant in the first place. Thank you!
