20 weeks update and a little bit of a boo whoo post...

20 week update!!!I think we've come up with a name as well...Kymani Mosese Powelson Purcell. The story behind that is to come soon!!! This morning Benson and I were able to go and see our little Kymani again :) I made sure I drank a Mt. Dew before we went so I could get him moving. He was just squirming all around while in the waiting room. But the second we were called back for our ultrasound...He decided to go into the fetal position facing down and DID NOT BUDGE! He did this to us last time...so I still have not seen his sweet profile yet :(. His arms were up around his face and would not move. So our tech took measurements of all the necessary things such as the head, kidney's, bladder, diaphragm, femur etc. I loved being able to see him for so long up on the big screen. He is forming and growing correctly he has all his appendages. It's a relief knowing that this pregnancy is going so well :). Since we didn't get to see his face and our tech wants to be able to get a more accurate look at his heart we get to have ANOTHER ultrasound in a month YAY!!! I've been so spoiled, every appointment I've had I've been able to have an ultrasound. So hopefully he behaves himself and lets us see him, and lets us get more pictures. Here are some pictures we did get, and I'll be posting belly pictures again. It's been 6 weeks since I've taken any.


Thumbs up to his Daddy :)

His feet are getting bigger!!!

Now for my own documentation of how I'm feeling. This is kinda me complaining so if you don't want to hear my sob story don't feel obligated to read.
I technically feel GREAT, normal feeling, no more constant head aches,and normal appetite.But I'm having a hard time gaining weight...previously I said "It feels good to not care" ummm that's a lie now. It's hard not to fit in my cute clothes... and be so limited to certain articles of clothing. I have not worn denim in about 2 months...Oh how I miss my jeans. My belly is getting much bigger and I really haven't gained much weight (about 12 lbs in 5 months) but I was someone who always had to stay under a certain weight.My fat shirts are starting to get a bit tight ha ha ha. So I just feel unattractive. I love just sitting around in my sweats and Benson's t-shirts.I know I needbe selfless and remember that I'm growing a miracle inside and he is Heaven sent. I am slowly accepting that I have all the time in the world to work on my physical body so this point in time is to just stay healthy for our little man to grow. I love our little Kymani SO MUCH!!! It is getting hard to sit up from laying down, it feels like I no longer have any tummy muscles to help me pull me up. I am an old Grammy and get exhausted by 9:30-10:00 pm and have to go to sleep. I love sleeping on my back and still do so as long as Kymani will let me. It's hard to stay on my side all night long. My back hurts So bad in the mornings from the excess weight and where the uterus is now sitting. I no longer am able to fit in small spaces...my belly or hips definitely get in the way. I currently am on a salad kick (thank goodness something more healthy). Fast food now makes me sick and slow feeling. Now that I am feeling better Benson and I plan on hitting up the gym again. People are constantly touching my belly or asking if they can touch it (especially at work). It's kinda weird, but I'm definitely not afraid to say "No" if I'm not comfortable with it. People don't believe me when I say I'm 5 months their reply is "Really? Your belly is so small"...ummm people I feel like a whale.
Other than my boo whoo moments and me just being a big baby Pregnancy is amazing. I LOVE feeling him move, it is a constant reminder letting me know he's doing good. He moves a lot when I'm really hungry and when I'm eating. He loves Samoan food :)he he he. We are starting to get things in order for his nursery. I've found some fabric from Western Samoa that Benson and I both agree on. Benson wants the room "Black and Yellow" for the Steelers...me I want to stay more neutral so we'll what we come up with. If anyone has any suggestions, ideas or tips on havingsuper cute nursery please let me know. Oh and I did just sign up for pintrest so hopefully that helps!!!
