19 Weeks

I'm 19 weeks and 3 days along. Almost half way done!!! And I feel great. I'm getting bigger and bigger but this time around I feel so much better than I did with Hannah. I feel like I have way more energy and hardly any pain. With Hannah the tail bone pain and round ligament pain nearly did me in. I contribute this all to my walking. I've been walking at least 5 days a week and it's been helping so much. I love feeling like myself again and I'm really starting to enjoy pregnancy this time around. I don't love being pregnant like some women do, but I can appreciate it more because this is my last one. Only 20 more weeks until we have a baby in our arms. I can't wait.

Here’s what’s happening in Week 19: 

Weight Loss/Gain? I'm really not sure, but if I had to guess I would say around 8lbs.

Cravings: Salads, fruit, cheese, peppers, pickles, and chips and salsa. I don't crave sweets, but if they're in front of me I don't turn them down. Ha!

Aversions: I really don't have many. I just don't like to be around anything with a strong odor. 

Miss Anything? Fitting into my clothes. I'm kinda in that in between stage so it's hard to find something to wear in the morning.

Gender: We find out a week from today!!! I still don't have a clue what it is but we're so excited to find out. We don't care one way or the other. We really and truly are praying for a healthy baby. I will post next Tuesday and reveal the name then.

Favorite Moment this Week: Celebrating my grandmother's 89th birthday on Saturday. 89 and looking fine Mamere!

Sleeping: Sleep is okay. I've been getting up once a night and also having some pretty crazy dreams.

Stretch Marks? Not yet. I hope I don't get any. I only got a few with Hannah at the very end of pregnancy.

Workout: Walking as much as I can.   

Clothes: A lot of my clothes still fit but are getting tighter by the day. Most of my maternity clothes are for fall and winter so I haven't really started wearing any of those yet. I tried some dresses on at Target and Old Navy but didn't like any.  

Baby Movement: I've been feeling little flutters here and there. I expect to feel more frequent movements in the next couple of weeks though.

Most looking forward to: Finding out next Monday if our little Christmas miracle is a prince or princess.
