19 Weeks

How far Along: 19 weeks!

Size of Baby: This week baby is a Mango.

(no picture)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: So far since the day I found out I was pregnant, I am up 8 lbs.  

Maternity Clothes: Since it has been so hot lately, I have been able to get away with dresses or a couple pairs of maternity shorts.  But I am noticing that the first set of maternity shorts I bought were not meant to take me from 3 months to 5 or 6 months... I will be getting a new pair soon.  I am getting sadder and sadder every time I go to put on a regular top and it DOES NOT FIT!! I knew this day would come, but I didn't think this soon :(

Gender: A big BOY!  Parker Jean :)

Belly Button In/Out: Definitely becoming more shallow, but still considered an "iney"

Stretch Marks: So far so good, none yet :)

Labor Signs: Ummm No 

Movement: I have been feeling it for the last few weeks... probably since week 14/15... but this week was a quiet week and then this weekend... was not so quiet.  I always have my hand on my tummy just waiting to be able to feel something from the outside but nothing yet. No real kicks just, still just feels like "swooshes" like there is a fish swimming in my tummy.  

Sleep: Sleep was pretty good this week... once I got to sleep.  Heartburn has been keeping me from falling asleep, but just pop a couple tums and I'm good.   

Cravings/Aversions: Still no weird cravings, just when something sounds good I want it.  Much like before I was pregnant, the nice thing is that now... I indulge in the craving :)  I have been on a one fruit a day kick, and when I don't eat that one fruit a day I feel sluggish.  

Symptoms: Last week I did have one day where I felt nauseous all day... it was horrible, I am so glad to be out of that stage!  But no more since then.. I am still really sleepy, I think I am iron deficient :( Heartburn is the biggest thing right now, today it feels like after every meal I have it :(  

Feeling: Today especially I am feeling great!  Everytime I feel a little something in my tummy a smile just appears on my face, and I did not think I would be one of those pregnant girls who just sits and puts her hand on her tummy and waits for the next little thump, but I am :)  

Best Moment this Week: Being interrupted at work by so much movement that I couldn't concentrate, LOVE IT!

What I Miss: A cold beer on a hot, terrible, awful, no good, very bad day (Lol for anyone who gets this Alexander reference)

What I am Looking Forward To: My next ultrasound, and visiting family in a week.

Milestones: I finished registering yesterday!  What a task that was

Next Appointment: Monday the 23rd for the anatomy scan ultrasound.   

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone!! Sorry I haven't been keeping up with my blogging, but growing this little guy is TIRING and the only thing I have energy for is to work and hang out on the couch.  As of today I am 17w 2d, I don't weight myself on a regular basis anymore (which I LOVE) so I don't know how much I have gained.  I am feeling so much better without being constantly nauseated, it makes me look back at the last 4 months and wonder how in the hell did I make it this far still alive?!? My new pregnancy symptoms are heart burn, acid reflux, and sleep insomnia.  But they aren't nearly as bad as the nausea was.  As far as movement, I have been feeling it for about a week and a half, like a fish is swimming around under my belly button.  It's funny too, since the first time I heard the baby's heart beat on our doppler machine, he has ALWAYS been on my left side.  That was around week 10, and he is still favoring that side!  When we went in for our ultrasounds, he is always on the left and any movement that I feel is on the left.  It's cute that he already has preferences :)  

Here is a picture of my from last weekend at a wedding, you can see our little guy was definitely in attendance :)

These are just some adorable clothes that we have picked up recently, haven't bought much for the baby but we did get these :)
