2/12/14 (Pregnancy Journal Date)

 

(Baby E belly at 19 Weeks!! Definitely growing and I'm loving it!)



How far along?: 19 Weeks!

This week, Baby E is the size of a: MANGO!!

Maternity clothes?: Still able to wear some regular clothes (in slightly bigger sizes), but definitely headed towards maternity (or stretchy) clothes for more often than not. Why not, right??! Might as well be SUPER comfy! :)

Total weight gain/ loss: My belly has definitely been growing, so that means I'm gaining, folks! The number is still a secret! hehehe.

Stretch marks?: Not yet! ha!

Sleep: Sleeping better this week than last week. However, my hips and back are still hurting. I took some tylenol last night to ease some of the discomfort and it definitely helped.

Best moment this week: Feeling Baby E move around like crazy! It's mostly at night, when I'm sitting still... but I'm loving every bubble/ flutter!

Movement?: YES! See above. :)

Food cravings: Nothing specific really! I'm starting to want sweets a little bit more than normal, which is new for me! Mark and I are not HUGE sweets people!

Anything making you queasy or sick?: Nope. Can't think of anything.

Have you started to show yet?: Sure have! Well, I think I have! :)

Labor signs?: no.

Belly Button in or out?: in.

Wedding rings on or off?: on.

Happy or Moody most of the time?: Depends on the situation, but I would say happy for the most part.

Symptoms: HEARTBURN... ugh!! I'm still having a lot of the same symptoms as before too.

What I miss: Some food things here and there! Exercise (duh!) - but I actually took like 2 weeks completely off from it because of being sick and whatnot, and started back to it last night and had a great workout, so that was wonderful!!

What I'm looking forward to: TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY (as long as Baby E cooperates) - we get to find out if our little peanut is a HE or a SHE! We are so excited! We are also looking forward to our gender reveal get together with family on Saturday! Have to keep my mouth shut until then! hehehe.

Gender: We, hopefully, find out tomorrow!!! :)

Milestones: (Based on pregnancy app) Vernix, which is a cheesy substance, is starting to cover your baby. This helps with delivery and protects your baby from the constant exposure to moisture. Your baby is swallowing more and more amniotic fluid. And your baby's digestive organs are responding already. The ten tiny toes are developing. Right now, your baby sleeps 18 hours per day and is awake for six hours. During awake times, which are often when you are resting, your baby will be very active.  

Weekly Wisdom: Pregnancy pillows (or just a body pillow) are AMAZING, and I highly recommend getting one! It has definitely helped with some of the discomfort during sleep! This is the one that my WONDERFUL hubby purchased for me! Sleeper Keeper Pillow . My other piece of advice, if you are suffering from heartburn, get some TUMS!!! I eat those things on a regular basis now! ha!
