19 Weeks - Almost half way there!!!

I have been pregnant for a million years. I have only a million more plus one week and then I should be done, right?

In all seriousness, things are going well. This baby is growing and I can feel some pretty crazy movement! I've even felt baby kick my hand which is impressive.

I feel huge too, though I haven't gained much weight this time around. I'm looking forward to dropping some weight after baby is born - but this time, I have realistic expectations.

We find out next Monday what we're having so that will be my next post! Finally! I do think it's a girl, but I have no real inclination either way. A boy would be great, because I've never had a boy before! And a girl would be just as great because it's still a whole new person, plus we have some girl stuff :)

I've had to use my new winter coat already and it works great! So that was fun. And despite looking quite pregnant now, people still don't offer their seats on the train!

How far along?: 19 weeks

Due Date: March 24, 2020

Baby is the size of a(n): mango

Total weight gain/loss:  I think around 5lbs, nothing major. Last time I was up 15lbs!

The Bump: Yes, growing. Much bigger and firmer this week.

Symptoms/How I'm feeling: Pinched nerves in my back, and general pain in my back. 

Food Cravings/Aversions: nothing strange, just trying to keep my appetite in check.

Sleep: Okay - I wake up sore. 

Weddings Rings On or Off: On.

Exercise: Not really. I really should..

Any Names Picked Out Yet: Yes. Not telling.

Gender: Unknown. November! 

Movement: More movement now. It's becoming more intense!

Maternity Clothes: Bella band. It's the best. I also have a few maternity tops/tanks, and I'll just layer over the tanks to hide my belly. 


Labor Signs: None. Will not feel these until at the latest, my third trimester.

What I miss: Nothing really, I just want this little baby to be here, healthy, happy. I want our little family!

Best Moment of the Week: feeling some real hard kicks!


What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Halloween! And the ultrasound!
