How Far Along? 19 Weeks!!
Total Weight Gained? At my last Dr. appt I am up 8lbs. Ugh, I swear I am gaining a least a pound a week. Trying to keep it under 30 for the entire pregnancy...
Maternity Clothes- I can still wear all my "real" clothes (with a belly band of course) and all my dresses are fitting which is nice. I do have a couple of pairs of shorts with the band and I wear them too often because they are SOOO comfortable!
Sleep- Ugh, this little booger is already keeping me from sleeping, but my body pillow seems to help a little bit.
Movement- I have an active little booger in my belly, still is a soft popcorn like feeling but it is supposed to become more frequent and more intense soon :) Love it!!
Food Craving- Not to be boring but Fruit it still my number one and OJ as well now. A horrible craving that I have been having is salty, vinegary (not a word) chips. Don't put them in front of me if you want the bag back...
Food Aversions- Again, nothing I can think of.
Morning Sickness- No morning sickness here!
Gender- We are having a little baby girl!! I am thrilled and nervous all at once!
Labor Signs- none, thank goodness.
Belly Button- oh yea, it is definately an outie now :)
What I Miss- Feeling like a 24 year old and getting up without grunting. Running still makes the top of the list.
What I Am Looking Forward To- Decorating the nursery now that I know it is a girl!! Do not expect it to be pink all over though, not my style :)
Weekly Wisdom- Around now people are starting to whisper asking someone close to me if I am pregnant. I am at the point where they are scared to ask if I am actually pregnant or have just put on a few...
Milestones- Seeing our little angel on the U/S was the most amazing feeling. She was moving and grooving on the monitor and sucked her thumb. She is the size of a mango (about 6 inches long) and weighed 7 ounces at the last appt, so I am guessing she is about a half pound this week! Scary!!
I will post a picture later, I have not been very good about taking pictures and lately I have been so focused on what is happening in North Alabama and Tuscaloosa I forget to update the blog. My heart is broken for the people up there and especially for Tuscaloosa (please people, do not think I do not care about those in the smaller towns, but Tuscaloosa was my home for nearly 5 years...). My heart felt led to do something since I am DYING to get up there and get my hands dirty, but family (husband) does not want me up there doing that right now. So, instead of physically going up there, we are collecting supplies at our church to send up there and if you are interested in helping me out, please let me know!
I know God is smiling down on those that are helping organize relief efforts for those that were affected by this tragedy. Please donate your time and efforts if you are unable to buy supplies or give money!!
