20 Weeks Today!

I am at the halfway point in my pregnancy today! It's hard to believe. My belly is finally starting to pop out and to this point I have only gained about 3lbs according to my home scale. The Dr. says that's fine as long as I'm not losing weight, but I have read that I should gain about a pound a week from now until the 40 week mark! I already had a wardrobe crisis this morning. I was about to walk out the door and my maternity pants were driving me crazy! The crotch hangs down to my knees and the bottom of them hover over my shoes! I don't know where to find any that will be long enough, especially when I start wearing my boots.
From what I have read, he should be about the size of a banana in length at this point and he weighed about 10 ounces last week at the u/s. I'm sure he has gotten bigger since then though!
At this point in the pregnancy I feel really good and have my energy back (except I can't get rid of this sinus stuff!); haven't had any weird cravings yet, although I have been wanting sweet things a lot more lately where it used to be salty. I have started feeling him kicking and moving around a lot more in the last week, but it still isn't enough so that Kyle can feel it. My next appt. is Oct 22nd.
