HALF BAKED aka 20 weeks (10/26 to 11/1)

How big is baby?  Cantaloupe (or length of banana-depends on who you ask!)

Weight gain/loss:  To date:  +11  Dr. says I'm right on track and should gain about 20-25 pounds by the end.  So not what I wanted to hear, but it's all for baby, right?

Maternity clothes?  You better believe it!

Stretch marks?  Same

Sleep?  Still doing great!

Best moment this week?  
Seeing baby during the anatomy scan and learning all is well!  Baby is measuring about a week ahead of schedule and weighing in at a whopping 13 oz!!  The 3D pics that the tech took were pretty awesome as well!  I already told Shaun that the baby looks like him!

Worst moment this week?  Shaun's work schedule

Food cravings?  Cinnamon Bagels!

Gender?  We know....but due to some family members not wanting to know, I will refrain from posting.

Belly button in or out?  In.  But Shaun says I'll have an outie by the end!

Movement:  
Yep!  Baby has been moving quite a bit and Shaun was able to feel baby.  I woke up Saturday morning (10/29) and had a nobby body part pushing out near my belly button and after feeling that he felt the "wave" of baby moving.  It was so cool!

What I miss:  Spending time with Shaun....

What I'm looking forward to:  Getting the nursery set up!  We've got the colors picked out, crib is ordered, and we both took a week off of work to get it done!

Weekly wisdom:  "Hang in there.  It'll get better"

Milestones:  
Baby is swallowing more; also producing meconium-a black sticky by-product of digestion which will accumulate in bowels until first movement after birth.  Oh and the genitals are fully formed!

The inside:

Check out the Simpson lips--totally Shaun!!
