19 Weeks

Baby Size: A Mango

Sleep: It takes forever for me to fall asleep, but once I do I sleep like a rock. 

Clothes: I have been wearing some maternity shirts and some of my bigger shirts. Today I put on a pair of maternity jeans...they were a little bit big, but I just wanted to be comfortable. 

Cravings: Pizza

Aversions: I still don't like to eat a lot of ground beef, but I am able to stomach it a lot better now.

Symptoms: Heart burn, back pain, and I have been really itchy.

Exercise: Riding my stationary bike and walking

Movement: She likes to move in the late afternoon, and when I sit down at night. She moves more and more every day.

What I'm looking forward to: Putting the nursery together, and meeting our little girl.

What I miss: Having my clothes fit right.

Gender: It's a girl!

What's been happening: I think we finally picked out a name for her, but we aren't quite sharing it yet. :) This week I start another new job, giving flu shots. It is only a few hours, but I am kind of excited about it! The job that I had last week was the most awful experience of my life. It was definitely an unsafe environment, and I chose not to go back the next day. Hopefully this week will go better!

What's been happening: Yesterday was our 4th Anniversary! We went out to dinner at a nice Italian place, and then spent the rest of the evening relaxing at home. Today I have my first official job as a Nurse! I am kind of nervous, but I think it is mostly due to the fact that I have no idea what to expect.

17 Weeks

Baby Size: An Onion

Sleep: Once I actually fall asleep, I sleep really good. If I wake up in the middle of the night it takes forever to fall back asleep.

Clothes: I am still in my regular clothes, but I pretty much have to wear my belly band all the time. I think I may be needing to get some bigger shirts in the near future. My expanding belly, means I can't pull them down as far as I use to.

Cravings: Canned mandarin oranges

Aversions: I still don't like to eat a lot of ground beef, but I am able to stomach it a lot better now.

Symptoms: Heart burn and my skin is really itchy

Movement: She likes to move in the late afternoon, and when I sit down at night. 

What I'm looking forward to: Putting the nursery together. 

What I miss: Having my clothes fit right.

Gender: It's a girl!

What's been happening: I had a doctor's appointment Tuesday. Her heart rate was 156 bpm, and she was pretty wiggly. We have our next ultrasound on October 29th. We can't wait to see how she has grown!

Baby Size: An Avocado 

Weight: ?? I feel pretty large this week, so I made the decision not to weigh myself.

Cravings: No cravings this week

Aversions: Ground beef

Symptoms: I still have been having some crazy dreams, and heart burn

What I miss: Having my clothes fit right.

Gender: It's a girl!

What's been happening: We found out we are having a girl! We have started to research some of the things that we want to get for her. Michael has asked to pick out her car seat and stroller. :) I have been researching what kind of cloth diapers we want to use...this is kind of an overwhelming task...there are so many to choose from. I think that I may have finally narrowed it down.
