Pregnancy Notes: 19 Weeks

19 Weeks & Growing

Oh my goodness I don't even know where to begin with this journal entry.  Some big big things are happening this week.  Such as...

1. The starting of a new Downton Abbey & Bachelor Season!!! (oh the joys of good television & good friends to watch them with)

2. We find out the gender of our baby on Thursday!!  But more importantly we find out if our little one is healthy(this has been my biggest concern throughout this entire pregnancy).

3. My last day with my current job is Thursday!!!  (More to come on this...but phew this is an extremely welcoming change).

My current pregnancy symptoms:

1. Felt the baby move for the first time over Christmas break at my parents.  And now I'm feeling the little munchkin moving around all the time!

2. My belly has officially 'popped' out!  I picked my husband up from the airport on Sunday (work trip) and his first words to me were, 'Woah!  You look pregnant!'

3. I still have nausea, morning sickness, & vomiting spells:(  This has to be my least favorite part of pregnancy.

4. After ripping the zipper out on a pair of my jeans...and my bum falling out of my other jeans...I decided to make my first (and much needed) maternity clothes purchases!  3 Pairs of pants, and a couple of shirts later... I am a happy and comfortable woman growing into (instead of out of) my clothes!

5. Very dry, tight skin...using lots of lotions and oils to combat this one!

6. Nesting mode has completely enveloped me!  Which is sooo hard due to the fact that we are currently renting a basement apartment.  Our plan is to purchase our first place either right before or right after the baby is born.  So I'm trying to stick to little home projects that can be moved with us!

Dustin's Pregnancy Symptoms:

PREGNANCY BRAIN!  Seriously!  This guy has it much much worse than I do!  Last night we were headed to our friends house for an episode of the bachelor.  After he helped me into the car he made his way to the driver side and instead of getting in the drivers door he opened up the passenger door(behind the drivers seat) and sat down! It took him about two seconds to realize he was sitting in the wrong seat.  He jumped up exclaiming 'What am I doing?'  Needless to say we were both laughing for a long while after this.

Pregnancy Cravings:  Cheerios!!!! Lots and lots of cheerios!
