I guess I’ll jump on the pregnancy bandwagon…

How Far Along: 19 weeks

Size of the Baby: 6-8 inches (not including his insanely long legs!) and about 1/2 lb

Cravings: capri suns, goldfish, (yes, I’m turning into a 4 year old) pasta, yogurt, strawberries

Sleep: pretty good, trying not to sleep on my back, getting up once a night, sleeping about 10 hrs average

Gender: so far it’s a boy! we’ll find out for sure in two weeks at our anatomy ultrasound

Weight Gain: -5 lbs… lost 7 during first trimester and have only gained 2 back

Symptoms: I live in the bathroom. balance- what’s balance? I have none. appetite is finally back in full swing. occasional heartburn. air-head. nesting- love this one. lots of movement in there- really love this one! decent amount of energy. little “growing-pains” here and there. pretty much every movie makes me cry…okay and sometimes tv shows. and well let’s just agree not to talk about the other ones mmkay?

Pondering: all sorts of things I guess… how wonderful my hubby is, and most days I just want the babe to be here already! pregnancy is so long. (I’ll probably feel better once I’m over the “halfway” mark, but for now the end feels a century away)

Favorite Moments This Week: Feeling actual little kicks instead of just flutters! Good report all around at the Dr’s office, hearing baby’s little galloping-horse of a heartbeat again, and the hubs saying my belly hadn’t grown very much (my response- “well your face hasn’t grown very much”… I have really good comebacks these days) followed by our Dr walking in and saying “Ooooo!! Wow! Look at that belly!” and giving it a little congratulatory pat. Yep, that’s right hubs, my belly is growing so HA! ;) (I won’t think this is nearly as funny when I’m the size of a whale, but till then…)
