19 Weeks


How far along: 19 Weeks!

Baby size: 6 inches long, .5 lbs (about the size of an mango)
Weight gain: I have maybe gained another pound. It is hard to tell because the scale seems to stay the same but my belly sure feels bigger.
Maternity clothes: I might have to get some pants this week, my skinny jeans are just not comfortable anymore.
Stretch marks: No
Sleep: Sleep has been pretty good. I feel lucky to be really tired at night so if I do wake up to turn over or anything I usually fall right back asleep. I also feel like I can wake up early, although this week I didn't feel too good some days so I slept an extra lot.
Gender: Sometimes I just have no preference. I love watching the little boys and girls in our ward on Sunday and they are all so cute and quirky in their own way and I just think it would be fun to have either boy or girl!
Best moment this week: I went to a baby shower for a girl in our ward and one of the few girls that knows I am pregnant spilled the beans in front of everyone. Everyone was super sweet and so excited for me and I just felt an outpouring of love from the people around me. It was so nice :)
Looking forward to: Lots of kicks, I love feeling them even though sometimes they are few and far between. I also look forward to feeling like my belly is poking out with pregnancy and not just with chub.
What I miss: I am really worried about sleeping on my back now but sometimes it is the most comfortable position, which is funny because I have always slept on my side. I miss sleeping through the night and not waking up to try to get into a comfortable side position.
Movement: I felt little kicks throughout the week, although not every day. Daniel felt some again which was cool. I think I will be able to start feeling them more and more from here on out and not just when I am sitting quietly and concentrating.
Food cravings: Strawberries, yum.
Aversions: Not really.
Nursery: Both of my crocheted blankets (boy and girl) are coming along. I think nursery efforts are going to be a last minute deal now that we are moving to Baltimore over the summer.
Miscellaneous: We are moving to Baltimore for the summer so Daniel can complete and internship with the NSA. I think it will be really good but I don't know what baby and I will do besides just keep growing.
