How far along: 20 weeks and three days
Total weight gain: I don't really weigh myself anymore so I'll post weight gain when I have my prenatal checkups.Maternity clothes? for sure. I just ordered some more on oldnavy.com the other day and got a really good deal. I'm pretty much in all maternity stuff now (but I guess I have been for a month or two now)
Stretch marks? No new ones.
Sleep: Getting pretty uncomfortable. I wake up several times during the night, usually just to turn over. Its starting to be a bit of a challenge just to change sides.
Best moment this week: My sister and brother in law came to stay with us. It was fun to see them and hang out with them
Miss Anything? Nope. I love everything about this stage in pregnancy.
Movement: Still everyday... and getting stronger :-)
Food cravings: Yesterday I was craving orange sticks (you know the ones you can get at Christmas time?) and I couldn't find any at the Target... sad. But I crave sweets pretty much every day.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Anything with a really strong flavor.
Labor Signs: Nope.
Symptoms: Heartburn, sore hips, growing belly.
Belly Button in or out? I *almost* feel ok about saying its out... almost. But its not completely flat around the edges yet.
Wedding ring on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy.
Looking forward to: Fall. The leaves are starting to change just outside our house and the air in starting to feel crisp like fall. Though I'm not sure I'm looking forward to the six or seven months of rain/clouds we'll be getting soon. As this is our first fall/winter/spring in Seattle we're not sure what to expect.

So nothing really new going on here. Yesterday Noah and I braved going out shopping again. The day before we drove 20 mins up to Hobby Lobby so I could get some craft supplies for decorating the boys room and Noah had a tantrum pretty much the whole time we were there. So after that I was a little hesitant to go out again just a day later. Well we went... trying to be brave. Noah starting getting impatient like usual when we go shopping and didn't want to sit down anymore. To try and avoid another meltdown, I put him in the main part of the shopping cart. He refused to sit down... and believe me a was trying really hard to get him to sit down. Well there is a reason they put those little signs on shopping carts about not letting your child stand in the main part of the cart. I was slowly walking through the store, Noah standing in the cart; me telling him over and over to sit down and holding his arm/shoulder. Well I stopped the cart to go over and take him out of the cart. Just as I stopped he took a step to the very end of the cart and fell out head first. I died. It was awful. He bumped his head on the metal part and toppled over onto his back. So sad and I felt like the worst mom ever. As he was screaming in my arms someone came over and offered to help; luckily she didn't look like she was totally judging me and was genuinely concerned. She said she had something similar happen to her little girl. Anyway, Noah was really quiet after that and just wanted to cuddle and then sit in the cart the rest of the trip. I can't get that image out of my head though... worst trip ever. Thankfully I don't think there is any serious damage.. he doesn't even have a bump on his head. So today we're staying home; maybe we'll go for a walk, watch movies and have a little cuddle time.
Poor Noah! When something like that happens to Magnus I just remind myself that he won't remember, so it's one less thing he can resent me for when he's a teenager ;-). I hope the fall and winter isn't too gloomy! (Just remember, most of the time it's warmer than UT!)
