20 Weeks Baby #2

Halfway there!

How far along? 20 weeks and waddling
Stretch marks? yes :( This belly grew too big too fast
Sleep: The insomnia is back and I can't fall asleep until late and then I'm usually up a few times a night.  Baby likes to kick late and night and early in the morning.
Exercise: walking (although not much since it is so cold), BarreAmped, Knocked-Up Fitness Prenatal Sculpt.  I was recently told to only do very low-impact workouts and to not do anything strenuous, so we'll see how it goes.  (I walked 4-5 miles a day with Charlee and did a pregnancy workout everyday, so not being able to workout as I want (or have much time to workout) is killing me).
Best moment this week (or the past few weeks): Feeling baby kick on the outside!  Becoming an active little peanut.  We also got to see numero dos a few times at two different ultrasounds (one elective to help out a new business and the standard 20w scan).  Baby was very active and sassy at the elective one and sleeping at the scan.
 Miss Anything? walking without a waddle, not crying about everything
Movement: Baby is getting more active at night and kicking more.
Food cravings: nothing
Anything making you queasy or sick: not necessarily sick, just nothing sounds good.
 Have you started to show yet:  big belly
Gender prediction: .....
Labor Signs: braxton hicks have slowed, but still there on occasion.  The nurses think it could be a UTI and one of the OBs thinks it is due to my hemorrhage, so fun.
Symptoms:back pain, emotional, nerve pain on my stomach, heartburn.
The hemorrhage is still there and sitting on my cervix (I also have a low-lying placenta). It could just be a blot clot or it could be something else, either way it's not getting any smaller, so we get to see baby again in 4 weeks.
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: This pregnancy has been interesting.  Some days are great and I'm so happy.  Other days (some times even on the happy days) I'm a mess and sobbing.  Baby is perfectly healthy and measuring exactly as it should (14oz), but of course it needed to make things interesting and make itself known by throwing a wrench in things with this hemorrhage (or whatever it actually is).  Which stresses me out to know end.
I do feel more at ease when I can feel baby moving around and looking at our ultrasound pictures.  It's still all so surreal (I think mainly because I spend all my time focused on Charlee that I don't get a chance to focus on baby that much).
