How far along? 19 weeks, 2 days
How big is baby? A little larger than 6 inches, and about 1/2 lb. weight-wise.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I think I'm *finally* gaining weight. According to the books I've gained about 10 lbs. My guess is closer to 3 or 4. But, baby is gaining weight steadily, so there's no need for anyone to be concerned.
Next Appointment: Next time I see Dr. X is a month from now. "Big U/S: Take 2" is next week.
Maternity Clothes: Yes. Maternity pants are awesome and I don't care who knows it. And stretchy yoga pants? Being naked is less comfortable than wearing those pants.
Sleep: Eh. The other day I slept really well, and last night I was tossing and turning all night, so I'm a huge crank today. It's hit or miss now. I'm not holding my breath that it will get better until about a year from now when kiddo isn't waking up every 10 minutes or so.
Best Moment This Week: Finalizing our vacation plans, and feeling the baby moving around, especially after dinner last night!
Annoyance of the Week: Hearing, "You don't look pregnant at all!" from everyone I meet. Not sure if they're trying to make me feel better about being pg, or if it looks like I spent one night too many at a fraternity party. Beer gut, much?
Movement: Really amped up this week. Last night I threw some chicken in the crockpot and about an hour after dinner, Junior was moving and grooving to something! Felt like a rave in there, I tell ya.
Planning/Preparation: So much to do, including reading more of those books and signing up for the Great Expectations program at the hospital.
Belly Button In/Out: Flatter than it was, but still an innie. I'll cry A LOT if it pops.
Gender: Inconclusive! But next week! (Hopefully. I pray we won't need to do a Take 3.)
What I Miss: Wine. Summer Shandy. Margaritas.
What I'm Looking Forward To: Our upcoming trip! It's gonna be amazing to get away and relax.
Contractions: Not that I'm feeling.
Milestones? Nothing new this week, which is fine. I guess the kid can hear (supposedly) according to all the books and websites, so Graham says I need to start watching my language. We'll see how successful that is....
I am so worried about my belly button. it's almost level with the rest of my belly. I will seriously tape it down if it pops out, or I will not be able to touch my own stomach, or look at it, or basically be naked at any time.
ReplyDeleteI am soooo thankful my belly button has never popped with any of my pregnancies. It is definately level with my stomach, but it's a pain to get in there to keep it clean! I have a couple of girlfriends who are pregnant now & both of their bbs have popped. (Looks like little torpedos shooting out of their tummies!) My biggest complaint now is the HUGE swelling I have going on right now: feet, ankles, calves, hands, fingers & I think my face might be a little fuller now, too. Too bad it wasn't Halloween. I'd paint myself green and go out as Princess Fiona...
