How Far Along: 19 weeks 5 days
Size of Baby: A large heirloom tomato. 6 inches from crown to rump 8 1/2 oz
Total Weight Gain: still no weight gain
Maternity Clothes: Yep, just so much more comfy. Time for bra shopping. I have been making the ones I have stretch for far too long. I can't even imagine how big the girls are going to be once my milk comes in. Yikes!
Gender: ? We find out Nov. 8th. We had to postpone the ultrasound for a week. I'm still trying to decide if I want to do anything special to find out. Right now, I am just thinking I might have the US lady whisper it to Jack, and then have him tell us. I have had several people tell me it looks like I'm having a girl. We shall see!
Name: ? We aren't even discussing names
Movement: Getting stronger all the time. Still mostly when I am sitting or in bed going to sleep. Kicks have been way down low like they were almost my entire pregnancy with Jack. For the first time tonight I felt some movement up around my belly button. I've felt a few kicks/rolls from the outside.
Sleep: I'm getting more and more into my late night insomnia patterns, but I think that is more me than the pregnancy. I do sleep pretty well usually waking for some reason at 4 or 5 in the morning. Must be practicing!
Food cravings: Still nothing really. I still want something for a few days and then I'm over it. For a few weeks I have been really wanting a fruit roll up. Something I haven't had in years and don't buy for Jack since they are loaded with red dye and additives. I finally caved bought a box, ate one and now I'm fine.
Aversions: I'm not that into eating meat. I can eat it, but I'd rather not.
Symptoms: Indigestion, occasional nausea gagging, round ligament pain, lower back pain, and shortness of breath.
What I'm looking forward to: Finding out boy or girl. Seeing our new little one dance around on the ultrasound. Getting the nursery started. Starting a baby blanket.
What I miss: Nothing
Next Appointment: Nov. 8th
