And here are the 19 week belly shots.
How far along? 19 weeks
Total weight gain: 4 pounds
Baby is the size of a: Large mango
Maternity clothes? Still just a few maternity tank tops.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: Still loving my Snoogle pillow. However, I am getting tired of sleeping on my left side already...and not enjoying waking up in the middle of the night on my back and feeling guilty about it while I sleep.
Best moment this week: Almost positive that I've been feeling Babe move all week now!
Miss anything? This week it was Diet Pepsi...
Movement: Quite a bit each day, finally!
Food cravings: Ice water --> 25 trips to the bathroom each day
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing!
Gender: I have said boy for weeks...and we will let you all know hopefully within a couple weeks :)
Baby Name: Haven't talked about this for a long time...we go back and forth between a couple
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: Right at 18 weeks, I was reading a weekly pregnancy update email and it mentioned that a linea nigra typically shows up around this time. I read it, deleted the email, and didn't think much about it...because I didn't have one. About an hour later, as I was getting ready for work I noticed that I, in fact, DO have a linea nigra that just showed up. It is pretty faint, but you can definitely tell it is there. Luckily it only goes up to about an inch below my belly button so far, so let's hope it stays that way. I immediately got some good SPF 50 sunscreen from work and I will be caking that on my face from now on...I really don't want melasma, and sometimes that can go hand in hand with the linea nigra. That really is the first thing that has made this pregnancy seem real so far. I have also had a few headaches and some indigestion this week, but nothing too serious.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Continuing to feel Babe move more and more!! Can't wait for Daddy to finally be able to feel it too. Also getting more excited about finding all of the right nursery gear and decor. I've spent hours scouring ideas, contemplating whether or not I am capable of making my own crib skirt and bumper to save a bunch of money...that is up for debate. I'm trying to convince Daddy that it really isn't too early to start thinking about all of these things, but I'm not sure it is working yet. :)
