19 Weeks

 

 

 

How far along: 19 weeks, 0 days

 

Total weight gain: About 10 lbs. 

 

Maternity Clothes: 1 pair of jeans and 1 shirt so far.  I see a big shopping trip in my near future.  None of my clothes fit anymore!

 

Stretch Marks: Not yet

 

Sleep:  Sleep has been rough the past week.  I'm dealing with a lingering cough from the flu and I wake up all night coughing.

 

Best moment this week:  I think I'm getting closer to being well.  I don't cough 24/7 anymore, so I feel like I am improving!

 

Worst symptom this week: I started getting heartburn this week and I've also been getting stabbing pain in my lower back/hip area when I walk.

 

Movement: I've had a few moments where I think I feel something, but it's always so quick that I'm not sure.  I'm hoping that by next week he is big enough that I can feel something and know for sure it's him.

 

Food cravings:  Mandarin oranges

 

Anything making you queasy: Drainage :(

 

Have you started to show yet:  Yes! My belly is looking pretty round at this point. My bellybutton is getting shallower too. 

 

Gender prediction:  It's a boy! Confirmed!

 

Labor signs:  Too soon!

 

Belly Button:  In, but getting shallower.

 

Wedding Rings:  On!

 

Happy or Moody:  Happy

 

Milestones: I think we found crib bedding we like.  We are also closer to deciding on a middle name.

 

Looking forward to:  Feeling movement.  I'm still hoping I can feel something by week 20.
