Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along:19 Weeks!
Total Weight Gain: 10 lbs. I am retaining so much water right now I can't stand it. I hope it's a fluke and just a weird week of too much salt because it feels too early to be retaining this much fluid. I have the lines on my legs when I take my socks off at night, my boots barely fit around my calves, and my fingers are tight!
Maternity Clothes: Belly band and maternity shirts! The jeans still fit, but I'm almost certain they won't two weeks from now!
Best Moment this week: The times I get to feel baby boy. His movements are starting to get stronger!
Gender:Boy, oh boy, it's a boy!
Movement: Starting to pick up more although I think my placenta is really blocking me from feeling him more. I feel him the most when I lay down at night on my left side.
Food Craving:Still cheerios and Chinese food and horrendous sweet tooth. I feel like a six year old on Halloween as I want candy and sweets SO BAD!
What I miss: Surprisingly being able to sleep on my back. Once you hit 16 weeks you can no longer sleep on your back and even though it's not my favorite position to sleep in sleeping on my sides is already getting old and my hips are starting to hurt just a bit. Sometimes I'll roll onto my back and count out a minute before I move just because it feels so good.
Sleep: It's pretty decent. I wake up once to go to the bathroom and about three or four more times to switch to a different side to sleep. Svea will have an off night about once every two weeks, but other than that it's pretty good.
What we are looking forward to: Our appointment next Friday when we get another peak at our little guy with an ultrasound.
Symptoms: not much...I feel pretty normal except for the occasional tiredness and the fact that my belly is expanding. I've probably gagged once in the past two weeks so that is basically gone!
