19 Weeks

How far along: 19 weeks

Weight gain/loss: Not liking the scale so I think I'll just wait for my dr. appts like I did with Joey

Maternity clothes: Continue to wear the Bella Band.  I don't have any summer maternity shorts or capris so I've been wearing my yoga capris, a couple long skirts and I can still button some shorts.  So ready for the fall weather!!

Stretch marks: Cocoa butter!

Symptoms: My nose is doing much better, which is a relief!  Overall not too bad though I did notice some cramping/pains in my lower stomach this past weekend that was actually pretty painful.  I think it was due to not drinking enough water and pushing myself a little too much.  I felt better after I drank water and sat down on the couch. 

Sleep:  Pretty good.....wishing I could make myself go to bed earlier but the Olympics are so good!

Best moment this week: Steve got to feel the baby kick/jab on Sunday.  We were sitting on the couch and I knew I had felt a couple outside movements recently and he was able to feel them too.  He was amazed!  Baby had a few strong kicks/jabs that kind of made my stomach turn.  It's an odd feeling, but probably the most amazing part of being pregnant.

Gender: Still feeling a girl but I would definitely be happy with another little boy

Belly button in or out: Too early

Food cravings:  Sweets and then salty, but nothing overwhelming.

Movement: Mostly mid morning and mid afternoon.  I am predicting this baby is born mid morning.  We will see!

What I miss: Not feeling worn out so quickly and I am making it a goal to get in great shape after this baby is born.  As long as everything goes okay.

What I'm looking forward to: We get to see baby on the big screen this Friday.  Can't wait to see if he or she looks like Joey did.
