nineteen weeks



how far along? 19 weeks, 2 days
total weight gain: up another pound, baby is growing.
maternity clothes? totally.  on the hunt for a cute dress to wear to a wedding on the coast at the end of the month.  thought i'd found one, but i'm now having second thoughts about it.  time to head out for some mommy shopping.
stretch marks?  zero, hopefully it stays that way.
sleep:  off and on.  still having issues getting comfortable at night and because of the really itchy hand rash thing (PUPPP) it actually wakes me up at night.  thank goodness for aveeno, this has been a life saver.
best moment this week: finding out that we're having a baby girl, that liam is going to have a little sister.  
miss anything?  being at home with liam.  it was really hard going back to work on monday after having a whole week off with him.  i just have to keep telling myself "not that much longer."
movement:  tons. baby girl is a squirmy little thing.  during our ultrasound she wouldn't cooperate with the tech, she was moving everywhere.
food cravings:  ice cream, in particular dairy queen blizzards.  i have yet to actually have one, but i don't think that will last much longer.  we may have to make a special trip just for me.
anything making your queasy or sick:  not really.  i think i might even be ready to have some fish again ... we'll see.
gender: a sweet baby girl
labour signs: nada
symptoms:  heartburn and PUPPP.  apparently the rash is supposed to get worse with heat.  fantastic, baby girl isn't due until august 31!!  i'm actually praying for a cool summer, hate me if you want. 
belly button in or out? still in
wedding rings on or off?  on, no swelling yet
happy or moody most of the time?  completely happy this week.  how could a person not be when they get to see their baby, and even more so because it's a girl.  i know i said i would be happy either way, boy or girl, but i'm even more so now that we will have one of each.
looking forward to: getting stocked up on everything pink, purple, frilly and girly.

  1. Congrats on finding out that bump is a girl, one of each that's so nice. I can imagine it's harder going to work while pregnant when you have a toddler aswell, very tiring. Your looking fab x x
