| 19 Weeks...almost half way! |
Week: 19
Baby: Baby Pease is the size of a mango and is measuring in at 6.5 inches and over half a pound! Also, the neurons are now connecting between the brain and the muscles, giving the little one more control over his/her movements- which I am finally feeling! Also, the baby is now being covered in vernix- the waxy, nasty, white looking stuff that protects the skin from the amniotic fluid! Some babies are born with some of this- especially if they are early! Only time will tell....
Stretch Marks: Not yet...thanks to my Dad for my organic belly butter lotion :)
Maternity Clothes: Every single day...
Sleep: No new news here...sore hips have subsided for now. Had an awesome dream this week that we had a little girl and she had a head full of dark hair like Justin. No baby boy dreams yet...
Movement: Yes! Quite a bit...feels like muscle twitches. It is so amazing. Can't wait for Justin to feel them, too!
Yummy: Cereal, fruit, and peanut butter....and red peppers! Oh, and the banana bread that is currently in the oven...smothered in peanut butter, of course!
Eww!: Is it bad that I can't think of anything that grossed me out this week? Still not a huge fan of chocolate....but meat has found its way back to my regular appetite.
Symptoms: Heartburn...and a hearty, but healthy, appetite for this growing belly :)
Mood: Just so happy....
High of the week: Feeling the baby really moving around for the first time. Felt like a dance party in my belly all the way to school on Friday (Feb. 3rd). It was amazing!
Low of the week: Little bit of a head cold this weekend.
Most looking forward to: Our appointment next week. The 20 week appointment is where we get a very detailed ultrasound. We can't wait to see how much baby Pease has grown since the 12 week photo! We will post next Monday after our appointment! Until then....
Hi Allie! I love this blog and envy you for having the time to do this.. I so with I would have done this and still wish I would start one.. .if only to remember all the milestones the girls hit and little funny things they do... ahhh, maybe someday you can show me how to start one!
ReplyDeleteOn the sleeping front, if you have not already done so, get a body pillow or the pregnancy one.. it is really expensive (the preggo one) but you can curve it better to adjsut to your tummy...sore hips are from your body slowly getting ready for delivery and if you lie too long on one side, you have have that... the bleeding gums is another joy of pregnancy... just happens, darn hormones! Don't hurt your mouth by brushing harder. You look so cute! Keep up the great work! Melissa
Allie, a little granddaughter on the way - wow! Thanks for a great skype session last night. You and Justin look so happy and I love the way you decided to find out the sex of your baby. I also have to say that you look just beutiful and radiant. Pregnant never looked so good! We miss you! Mom is now a more focuswed shopper!
