19 WEEKS
Total Weight Gain: None. Same as last week.
Maternity Clothes? My pants and shorts don’t
want to button anymore but I have still worn them wearing a hair tie with them
so it’s fine. As it gets colder, I’ll be able to wear my maternity jeans! My
tummy has been feeling so tight lately so I’m wondering if I should start wearing
a belly band or something because it’s uncomfortable! Also, due to the fact
that my bras don’t fit anymore, I was able to get some padded sports bras which
is God’s gift to me! SO comfortable!
Have You Started to Show? Yes,
and my little sweetie is now a mango :) and 6 ½ inches long according to my
nurse at the ultrasound- Praise God!
Stretch Marks? Nope. But I realized last
week I said I was using Palmer’s body
butter but I was wrong- it’s actually Palmer’s TUMMY butter. I like it but it’s
super oily/greasy so I’m trying to get my hands on the lotion formula and try
that out.
Sleep? So great, my preggle is
the best! Aside from that I had a really weird dream too. If you read my
facebook then you’ve already heard but anyways, I dreamt that I stole $10,000
from 50 Cent’s drawer and then used the money to get a haircut. Crazy
pregnancy!
Best Moment This Week: Getting
to see my little love on Tuesday! Our baby has grown so much since the last
ultrasound 6 weeks ago! Lindsey also got to see whether or not the baby is a
boy or girl! That is so exciting! I can’t wait to find out! I am in awe daily
of this miraculous life inside me. I already have so many things I want to say
to my sweetheart! Mommy loves you, but Jesus loves you so much more than I ever
could. Another best moment was hearing the heart beat- 165 BPM! My dad said the
heart looked beautiful and sounded amazing and just right! Seeing that little
thing beating fills me with so much joy and happiness I can barely stand it.
Miss Anything? My balance! I am so
clumsy now and I constantly wobble when I first get up in the morning or even
when I’m just standing! I don’t mind though because it’s all for my little one.
Thank you Jesus!
Movement? Yes every morning and
every night! I want David to feel it so bad! When I went to get my ultrasound
on Tuesday, the nurse said based on my frame and build, other people should be
feeling the baby kicking any day now!
Food Cravings: Spicy things. I have
really wanted Wendy’s spicy chicken nuggets but our Wendy’s is under
reconstruction right now. I have been feeding the spicy craving with Hot n
Spicy chicken sandwiches from McDonalds or tapatio hot sauce.
Food Aversions: I have opened up to
sweets but I can only have a bite or two at most. Other than that, I’m eating
everything!
Symptoms: Lack of balance and ITCHY
breasts! I’m trying so hard not to itch but it’s so difficult.
Staying Active? Now that I don’t get to
walk around the hospital as much, I walk around the neighborhood and do my
little workout routine at home. I worked specifically on my arms and thighs
this week with light weights and squats. Feels good!
Belly Button: Working its way out!
Happy or Moody? Happy! How can
I not be when I feel my baby moving? I am already so in love. I can only
imagine how much God truly adores each of us because I seriously cannot get enough
of my tiny baby and I don’t even know him or her yet!
Nursery Progress: We are 3 days away from
finding out the sex of our baby and I am so beyond excited to know so we can
start shopping!!! This doesn’t pertain to the nursery but I forgot to mention
that Lindsey’s mom gave us an unused brand new Snugli to carry the baby in and
I was soooo excited because I really wanted one! It’s navy blue and I love it
so much!
Looking Forward to: SUNDAY!!! I want to know what
gender we are having so bad!
