19 Weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along:19 Weeks!

Total Weight Gain: 11.5 lbs

Maternity Clothes: I caved:) I washed my capri yoga pants one night and had nothing to wear! HA! I had to go to a board meeting and look halfway persentable so I threw on a pair of maternity capri pants....they were pretty comfy I must say.

Best Moment this week: Seeing our little one on the ultrasound machine again and hearing that all of her measurements and parts look very healthy! Also, finding out that SHE is a SHE! We feel so blessed to be having a little baby girl:)

Gender: Wow! I thought this week would never come when I'd get to post an answer here! Girl, girl, girl!!!

Movement: Yes! I think I can finally say that I've had moments of feeling little tiny jabs and kicks from the baby. My belly will twitch and skin will feel like it jumps. I feel like if my hand would have been there I would have felt it from the outside, but of course whenever I do that baby doesn't move. I will usually feel her when I'm laying down on my left side.

Food Craving: Since it's hot outside I am craving ice cream! Dan bought me some pudding pops the other day and I ran out in two days:) I had a "little" help!

What I miss: Sleeping in the same room as my husband. We keep trading this cough back and forth and can't sleep at night so one of us always sleeps in another room to allow the other one to sleep. We are also headed in opposite directions for the next 9 days so it'll be awhile yet. I miss you Dan!

Sleep: Yes, but with the help of my body pillow...nights look a little bit like this.....Left side sleep 2 hours, wake-up and turn from achy shoulders, right side sleep 2 hours, wake-up and turn and then repeat. It's not so bad. It's good practice for when the baby comes.

What we are looking forward to: Picking out bedding and neccesary items for baby's room! We strolled through the target baby section the other day looking at little girl's clothes to see if we had the same tastes in what our little girl's style will look like....at least while she's young enough to not care:)

Symptoms: Mostly feeling great these past two weeks except I've had some really bad heartburn settle in the last couple of days. Ouch! Nothing is really touching it to make it go away so I'm praying it's not something that is going to be chronic this pregnancy...ufta...hard to breathe. I love the little kicks and jabs much better than this:)
