Week 19 Update

Weekly Update

How far along: 19 weeks


My belly shot always shows I am 'pregnant' from my left side.  The right side looks like I have a beer gut - ENJOY!

Gender: We still do not know yet; one more week!!!
Weight gain:  5 lbs - right on track
Maternity clothes:  Not yet.  I am using a hair tie for my jeans.
Stretch marks: No - I am vigorously lathering myself up, multiple times a day if I have to.  Wherever I sit or lay, there is lotion by my side.  Sometimes my tummy with itch or my side and while fighting the urge to scratch, I just add lotion.
Belly button in or out: In - definitely stretching out though.
Sleep:  What's that?  I have taken some time off so my sleeping schedule is out of whack.  Not to mention I get hungry in the middle of the night combined with having to use the restroom multiple times.
Best moment this week:  Taking advantage of this pregnancy and parking in an EXPECTING MOTHERS parking space.  It really is the little things.  Also, most importantly, seeing our baby at the doctors.  I did not realize how worried I was for the baby to be perfectly healthy until going through the anatomy ultrasound.  With everything the tech said I felt a wave of relief roll over me.  Healthy baby!!!


Worst moment this week:  Intermittent lower back soreness.
Miss anything:  ENERGY!  My stamina is running low.  I was in a marketing position where I practically ran wherever I had to go for 8-10 hours straight, then worked more at home on the computer.  Now my body needs a rest if I have been at the grocery store for 15-20 minutes.  It's frustrating :)
Movement:  YES!!!  It is so cool and amazing.  God is awesome.  I keep telling the hubby it's pretty cool there is a human inside of me growing - then remind him God chose me to carry this miracle :)  If you know us, you will get this comment.
Cravings:  A hot dog!  I no longer have the nausea like I did for about a month in the first trimester BUT my body still tells me what should or should not be eaten.  With that said, I was afraid my body was not going to want the hot dog however I was WRONG! Yay for me :)
Queasy or sick:  No
Looking forward to: Finding out if we are having a boy or girl!
