Week 19

January 27- February 2, 2014

How far along: 19 weeks  

Total weight gain: Unknown since last doctor’s appointment, but I definitely have been eating more so I am sure I gained a pound or two.

Maternity clothes: Usually regular legging and either regular or maternity tops.  I wore maternity jeans this week due to rain (they were bagging but I think its mainly due to being a size too big).

Stretch marks: I have been rubbing Mama Belly Butter on my belly every night and use coconut oil on my legs. So far no stretch marks. This week I the balls and heels of my feet have been red (a common symptom).

Sleep: Usually great, but lately it seems one night each week I am up for a couple hours unable to sleep.

Best moments this week: We felt the baby move!!!! Both Will and I have been able to feel the baby move and the feeling is just amazing.  Right now the movements feel like little round muscle spasms.  I have notice that any movement is after I eat a meal or rearrange how I am sitter or laying..

Miss anything: I miss wearing jeans that fit me to work, which would make getting dressed for work so much easier.  But leggings are very comfortable and great to move around in since I teach TK.

Food cravings: No, just trying to eat as healthy as I can.

Anything making you queasy: Luckily still nothing.

Gender: Unknown but we hope to find out in two weeks.

Labor signs: No.

Belly button in or out: In-between.                      

Wedding rings on or off: On.

Happy or moody: Overjoyed with happiness feeling our little baby move and feeling movement every day.

Looking forward to: February 4 when I have my next doctor’s appointment and can hear our baby’s heart beat, and to our ultrasound.
