19 Weeks - I'm sick. Boo.

Forgive my puffy face. I picked up a terrible cold/cough from my family in AZ :(

How far along: 19w.
Total weight gain/loss: +8 pounds
How big is Baby: Baby is about the size of a mango, or 6 inches long!

Maternity Clothes: Yes! I need more shirts. Shopping trip this weekend :)
Sleep: Sleep is okay. Still waking up several times a night to switch sides, and sometimes to pee.
Movement: Still nothing definite, just some popping/bubbly feelings. Dr. L has assured me that it's coming very soon!
Food cravings: Chicken strips. Carne asada. Turkey & swiss sandwiches.
Food aversions: Just raw meat. I can't handle it so I still haven't started cooking again.
Gender: It's a BOY!
Symptoms: Round Ligament Pain. Morning sickness. Vivid, weird dreams. Feeling dizzy & off balance. Peeing all.the.time.
Best moment this week: Our anatomy scan. Watching Nick talk to baby. He calls him "poofy" because babies have those adorable fat rolls on their arms & legs :)
What I am looking forward to: Feeling more movement!!! Swimming. I have always loved to swim and can't wait to start again.

I cannot believe I am 19 weeks!!! Just one more week to the half-way mark. Wow. I am really enjoying this pregnancy. I wouldn't trade anything for this experience and I am just so thankful each and every day to be here. We are planning a few weekend trips before his arrival; to see family in Ojai in a few weeks, with friends to the San Diego Wild Animal Park and just the two of us up to San Francisco, our favorite weekend getaway spot, for a "baby moon." Life is good.

  5. You look so happy and adorable! And enjoy the swimming!! I was a lifeguard for seven years and miss swimming so much but can't afford membership with IF costs. I'm sure it will be great!
