How far along: 19 weeks pregnant! Due September 27th!
Total weight gain: Up 8 lbs.
Maternity clothes: Some. Pregnancy makes me realize just how many different fits I have in my pants. Some jeans need a hair-tie, and some i’ve given up on entirely;)
Stretch marks: Nothing happening yet:) But I am using a combo of old and new tricks to keep them away. The Mama Mio oil I have used with the past two pregnancies has kept me almost completely stretch mark free, so i’m sticking with it. But I am also adding in a drop of Gentle Baby and Frankincense Young Living essential oils.
Sleep: Finding myself wanting a short little nap about every day. I can power through if I need to- but why would I if I don’t need to?!
Best moment of this week: Braylens birthday party was so fun and sweet. I love seeing him surrounded by friends he loves dearly.
Miss anything: Freaking beer bad right now.
Movement: Every day now- and it is SUCH a blessing
Food cravings: Arnold Palmers every single day and Frosted Flakes. Same!
Anything making you queasy or sick: nada!
Have you started to show yet: Without a doubt!
Gender: A sweet precious baby GIRL!
Labor signs: I unfortunately think I am already beginning to get Braxton Hicks contractions. I have them with every pregnancy, and each time they have just started sooner and sooner. I am familiar with them, so they don’t scare me- but just have to be cautious with them and make sure there aren’t ever too many in an hour.
Belly button in or out: That bad boy is creeping its way out already.
Wedding rings on or off: On! But this week it was a little snug getting it on. I’m telling ya, this pregnancy is just so different. I was able to wear my ring the ENTIRE pregnancy of Winston, and I truly don’t think theres a chance of that happening this time around.
Happy or moody most of the time: Been pretty cranky and short on patience this week, which isn’t a good combo when the boys are being the same. Haha, but its a new week- and we are all doing better at it so far:)
Looking forward to: Getting my hair done this week- fresh color, time with my girl Julie, and kid free- whats not to love?!
