19 Weeks

How far along? 19 Weeks

Baby is the size of a: A large heirloom tomato

Total weight gain/loss: 12 lbs total

The Bump: Is officially noticeable 

Symptoms: Heartburn and headaches, currently carrying a full bottle of Tylenol and Pepcid AC in my purse. Feeling a bit scatter brained also but I'm not sure if I can blame that on the pregnancy. Oh and my belly is so itttchy!

Food Cravings: Nothing unusual. Maybe brussel sprouts but there isn't any one food that I think about a lot.

Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Not that I have had the pleasure of crossing paths with yet.

Sleep: Getting uncomfortable

What I miss: nothing right now, I am loving this!

Weddings Rings On or Off: On

Any Names Picked Out Yet: shhhh :)

Gender: Boy!

Movement: I felt him move on Thanksgiving night, but not since then...until today! I have been feeling him move frequently today but the Dr says not to be surprised if it remains very sporadic for the next month.

Maternity Clothes: Bring em on! I have been wearing leggings just about non-stop. I still have one pair of jeans that I can just about bare but will be picking up a few items this week. Maternity wardrobe makeover is full on :)

Labor Signs: nope

Best Moment of the Week: Finding out the sex of the baby and feeling it move! Simply amazing. Hearing the Dr say that everything is perfect! So much to be thankful for this week.

What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Being able to pick out baby boy things and nursery items. Seeing my bump in Christmas photos.

This week the baby is forming the white coating, vernix caseosa, that makes newborns so adorable. *Gag* This coating protects the baby from the amniotic fluid. I wonder if there's a way to harvest it- I bet its moisterizing quality could do wonders for my itchy belly!
