19 weeks

How far along: 19 weeks

Size of baby: About the size of a mango; 6 inches and 8.5 ounces

Total Weight Gain/Loss: still down about 5 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight but up about 3 lbs from my lowest weight in the first trimester

How I'm Changing: baby bump is getting really firm and I can definitely tell things are getting shifted around in there to make room for baby

Maternity Clothes:  fully embracing the bump with cute fitted shirts that show it off - might as well rock it right?

Gender: well according to the u/s tech after much review - it looks like we are having a baby BOY :-)  we are so so happy and feel so fortunate to have a healthy baby and we didn't really care if it was a boy or girl but I will say both B and I were kind of hoping to be team blue :-)  Here are some pictures - a little alien looking still but definitely getting cuter




Movements: nothing yet - at the u/s appointment the tech showed me that I have an anterior placenta which is good but means it could be a bit longer before I feel our little one moving around - on the plus side I know he's moving in there, I saw it a lot with my own eyes - he was basically having a dance party in there

Sleep: sleeping is going ok - most nights I wake up once or twice but can typically go back to sleep unless it is after 4am and then I just sort of doze until my alarm goes off

Symptoms:  nothing new really - some RLP and some heartburn - still having acne issues... annoying

How I'm feeling: so happy - I can't wait to love on this little boy

What I Miss: nothing new... red wine, sushi

Cravings: not much in the way of cravings but still feeling hungry all the time

Best Moment(s) of the Week: seeing our active baby boy on u/s - it was the absolute coolest experience :-)  we loved watching him and may get another chance as the u/s tech couldn't get a good profile view and she thinks they'll want that - so fingers crossed I may get to go back and see our little guy again

What I am Looking Forward To: seeing family and friends several times over the next month and starting to feel baby move hopefully
