19 Weeks




How Far Along: 19 Weeks

Size of baby: the size of a heirloom tomato

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Probably up a pound or two from original weight...

Maternity Clothes: Not yet, but I don't know how much longer I'm going to be fitting in my jeans!

Gender: It's a BOY!!!

Movement: Just feeling a kick (or something) every now and then and also sometimes I think I just feel him moving or turning in there. :)

Sleep: This week was not a great week for sleep since Bailey had a terrible cold, but last night she was back to sleeping all night in her own bed, so hopefully it stays that way now!

What I miss: Nothing, but I know I will miss sleeping on my belly eventually, so I am doing as much of that as possible!

Cravings: No big cravings this week really.

Symptoms: Nothing really

Best Moment this week: Feeling the baby move, it just never gets old. Also, finding out that our baby boy is going to have a boy cousin who is just weeks younger than him! :)

Paci-holic

Let me preface this story by telling you the "paci rules" in our house. Bailey is only allowed to have her paci when we are in the car or when she is sleeping. She knows these rules. I keep one paci in her diaper bag for when we leave, and the rest stay in her bed while she is not using them.

Earlier today, Bailey was in her room and she was being very quiet. I went to go check on her to make sure she was okay/wasn't up to no good. Here is what I saw when I went to her room....



See the legs behind the rocking chair?






















Head behind the curtain.





















Notice what's in her lap?





















And there she sat, my little paci-holic who needed a paci fix. :)

18 Weeks

How Far Along: 18 Weeks

Size of baby: the size of a bell pepper

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Roughly the same as original pregnancy weight, I think.

Maternity Clothes: Not yet, but I think I have officially decided that I am starting to show!

Gender: It's a BOY!!!

Movement: DEFINITELY felt baby move twice yesterday. Felt like a little knock from the inside. :)

Sleep: Sleeping pretty well, oh how I love sleep. I am treasuring my nights of uninterrupted sleep while I still can!

What I miss: Nothing, but I know I will miss sleeping on my belly eventually, so I am doing as much of that as possible!

Cravings: No big cravings this week really.

Symptoms: Nothing really

Best Moment this week: Feeling baby move and hearing the heartbeat today. Also, not a best moment, but a cute story I had to share. When Bailey and I were at the doctor's office today, I laid back on the table and started pulling my shirt up so we could listen to the heartbeat. Bailey got upset and started crying! She was worried about what the doctor was doing to her mommy! She is just so sweet and tender hearted. Dr. Bukovac quickly reassured her that everything was okay, and then Bailey was interested in hearing baby brother. :)

17 Weeks

How Far Along: 17 Weeks

Size of baby: the size of a turnip

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Didn't get on the scale today, but probably at least back up to original pregnancy weight, if not over, thanks to some indulgent eating this past weekend!

Maternity Clothes: Not yet

Gender: It's a BOY!!! We have a short list of names but are thinking we might keep the name a secret once we do decide. I have two names that I like best now and am really leaning more towards one of them, but we have not decided yet.

Movement: Actually thought a few times this week that I MAY have felt the baby, but I'm not 100% sure.

Sleep: Sleeping pretty well

What I miss: Nothing, but I know I will miss sleeping on my belly eventually, so I am doing as much of that as possible!

Cravings: Besides everything I see, I am craving Sprite all the time now!

Symptoms: Nothing really

Best Moment this week: Once again, just talking with Bailey about her baby brother. I let her carry around one of the ultrasound pictures and she said something about baby brother's beard! Hahaha!
