19 Weeks


Date: 1/30/13
How far along? 19 Weeks
Baby Size? Baby is the size of a grapefruit!

Total weight gain:  10 lbs..EEK! my appetite has definitely increased over the last week or so.  Hungry more frequently.

Maternity clothes? A couple tunics from the gap and I sported maternity jeans for the first time last week! whoa…Not sure how I feel about those. I think I’ll mostly keep sticking to leggings and I can’t wait until I can wear sundresses full time!
Stretch marks? no, using my Mustela cream.  However, I am also using plain Palmer’s cocoa butter. I love the smell of it and I am not crazy about the smell of the Mustela cream.
Miss Anything? alcohol in general, but mostly wine 🙂
Movement: Nothing that I am positive of…gas bubbles mainly.  I am so anxious for the first real kick!
Food cravings: sweets and fruit 
Symptoms: sadly I am still feeling tired very frequently
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on, but definitely having swelling in my fingers especially in the mornings

Sleep:  I started to have a little more trouble sleeping this week.  I’m not sure what it is from really.  I am also starting to have some crazy dreams that are a lot more vivid. 

Best moment this week: My very first baby shower!!! It was so much fun celebrating baby Brody.  Photos to come hopefully tomorrow! 

Exercise:  Walking on the treadmill and pilates on the reformer
Anything making you queasy or sick: No
Gender Prediction: BOY

Labor Signs: No
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! 

Looking forward to: Making it to the half-way mark next week! yeah!   I’m also hoping to start doing a few things in the nursery.  I got some super cute things at the shower and it made me so antsy to put his little nursery together right away!
