Pregnancy Update: 19 Weeks

 

How far along: 19 weeks
 

How big is baby: Fruit and veggie scale says baby is about the size of a banana which seems big since last week it was the size of a tomato.
 

Weight gain: I am doing good on weight gain!  Surprisingly.  We haven't had much extra money for snacks or trips for icecream, so I think that has helped.
 

Sleeping: Has been awful the past few days.  I keep waking up feeling desperate to go to the bathroom and then when I come back to bed Ryan is snoring and I can't fall back to sleep.  Or I just find myself awake in the night for no reason.
 

Food cravings: Still French Fries.  And sweets.
 

Food Aversions: Popcorn looks and smells gross to me.
 

Other symptoms: Still weepy and emotional over everything. Some heartburn this week.  I had terrible heartburn during my pregnancy with Isaac but not till the end.
 

Miss Anything? A good night's rest!
 

Doctor’s appointment: I had an appointment that on Monday that was nothing special.  I did hear the heartbeat though and according to the theories some subscribe to the heartbeat fell into the "girl" range.
 

Wedding Rings: Still on! 
 

Clothes: If you see me, I am probably wearing one of about three outfits cobbled together from my "fat clothes" that still fit.  I have worn that maternity maxi dress in the picture above a few times now.  It is so comfy.  I may buy it in other colors.
 

Movement: Lots and lots his week!
 

Best moment of the week: Going to the movies and out to lunch with my mom and Isaac.And cleaning out all of Isaac's clothes.  Long overdue and now I actually know what he needs for back to school.
 

What I’m looking forward to: Our ultrasound on Friday!!  The big gender reveal!!!
 

What I did / Got for baby: My friend Becca gave me this little diaper cake (it got a little wilted on the car ride home).  Someone had given it to her but her baby had already outgrown the newborn size diapers.  She also gave me a book that she had received two of.  My sister also sent some fun baby stuff from Alaska but I haven't had a chance to photograph it.

What I learned this week: Not enough sleep equals a cranky, weepy Lisa.
