20 Weeks: Ruby Rae

We are HALFWAY with our sweet Ruby Rae. Wow, it really feels like it is going so much faster this time. Our little girlie is growing & starting to move lots and lots. She is going to be a mover like her big brother, Jude.

Like I always say... she is a gift to us. I can't wait to kiss her little cheeks. :)

How Far Along:  20 Weeks!

Size of baby: 12 o.z. Size of a BANANA!

Maternity Clothes: Yes! Living in Dresses lately... and comfy pants. I don't like anything covering my tummy, it's outchy!

Gender:  BABY GIRL!! Ruby Rae!

                    (Kinda creepy 3D image... you can sort of see her sweet face!!!)

Movement:  Yes!! Still can't wait for Josh/Jude to feel it even more. Josh felt her at 18 weeks... a little flutter! Jude tried to feel her, hahaa "she kicking, mama?"

Sleep:  Getting better!! :) Thankful! Brought out the good ol' preggo pillow... #lifesaver

What I miss:  Hmmmmm.... nothing much lately. I am so happy to be pregnant.

Food Cravings:  Pepperoni Pizza from Papa Johns just on Sunday night. I was starving & that garlic dip for the crust was calling my name. Ruby liked it ;)

Food Aversions: I threw up while on a work trip... that wasn't fun. I think it was too much fried food. Staying away from that for awhile (until the State Fair that is ;))

Symptoms: A little heartburn started. Manageable and not too bad. Brushing my teeth is so hard lately... always makes me gag. So weird!!

 He LOVES his baby sister... Roooooby

Jude Is: Still making us laugh like crazy. He is now sleeping in "Rooey's Crib"... since we started on his big boy room. He hasn't officially slept in it yet, we are still finishing it. He's full of life, energy & so many funny things to say. What a perfect big brother he will be for Ruby!!

What I’m looking forward to: 
Seeing her face! I love envisioning what she will look like, smell like. I just crave the newborn snuggles and know life will get crazy come December when she arrives but I am going to embrace it. I am already praying for God to give me balance with our sweet Jude too!

 Face & Arm - like HEY Mama & Daddyyyy :)
