20 Weeks Pregnant: Cravings and Updates

Wow! Where did the last few weeks go? I am now officially 20 weeks pregnant, in my 5th month, 2nd trimester. My body is experiencing so many changes I didn’t know were possible and I have another 19 weeks to go. Which freaks me out that we are halfway along! HALFWAY! We need to start planning our babymoon more seriously now, I need that R&R before the little one arrives.

During the last couple of weeks, I’ve become constantly hungry, mostly craving citrus, pasta (or maybe that’s just my Italian roots lol), smoothies and red meat. Like a good medium-rare steak is always on my mind.

I’m starting to get a proper bump, which also comes with ligament pain as it expands. We went for our 2nd scan this week, it was amazing to see the bambino on the big screen again.

Oh and let’s talk about the size of my breasts! WOW. I have large breasts to start with, but now they are gigantic you’d think I was farther along just based on them. Anyone else go through this?

And I want to share the best purchase I’ve made so far…. is a pregnancy pillow! About 3 weeks ago I went to BuyBuyBaby and picked one up. I sleep much better through the night, it’s a purchase every pregnant mom to be should consider. Curtis is so jealous of my new pillow situation haha.

I’m making a conscious effort to walking a lot during the day, going to the gym to do cardio and light weights and making sure I work on my Kegels every day. Want to keep my strength up and just be in better shape for delivery and post-partum.

I would love to know if anyone else is also pregnant? Share in the comments!
