Bumpdate: Weeks 20 - 25

The bump has experienced a major transformation since I last posted pictures at 19 weeks.
Here are weeks 20, 21 & 22:

And 23, 24 & 25:


She is moving around a lot more lately. She still has her quiet days that make me nervous, but even when she's being lazy I can still feel her squirm here and there when I jiggle her a little. She is most active at the very end of the day when I crawl into bed around 10 pm. Her movements seem more subtle than Lily who packed a strong punch and loved to curl/bunch herself up on my right side making my stomach completely lopsided. This little girl feels more sprawled out. I think she is, more often than anything, laying transverse in a cradle-like position with the occasional flip to vertical for fun.

I have a regular OB appointment on Monday along with my glucose test for gestational diabetes. I "failed" the one-hour screen when I was pregnant with Lily but passed the three-hour test which is really common. Nevertheless, I'd rather just pass it the first time this go-round. We'll see.

Still counting the days til our next ultrasound at 28 weeks...2.5 weeks to go.
