How far along? 19 weeks
Weight gain/loss: Up 16 pounds.
Maternity clothes? Same as last week
Stretch marks? Nothing yet. Phew!
Sleep? I need a pregnancy pillow. I cannot stop rolling onto my back, and when I'm on my back I wake up.
Best moment this week? The big u/s! Everything looks great and baby weighs 10 ounces already. He's breach and sitting right on my bladder (although they assure me this is normal and most of the time babies who are breach at 20 weeks are head down when they're ready to come out), and the stubborn little guy wouldn't uncross his legs or turn so the u/s tech could see the goods or the bottom of his spine. Our tech was wonderful though, and she had me use the rest room and brought me some juice to try to get LO to move around. As soon as she left the room I jumped up and started doing jumping jacks and threatening my future child with all yellow and green clothing and gifts. The words "I'm your mother and you have to listen to me," might have been uttered. Who knows if the was the sugary juice or the mild scolding but we managed to cajole the little guy into turning over, and we saw some boy parts! Still can't believe we're team peen!
Food cravings: All kinds of fruit, and milk. I've been having fruit parfaits daily.
Gender: BOY!!
Belly button in or out? Still in.
Movement? Yep! Everyday. What week does the kick counting start?
What I miss? This week, sweet sweet caffeine & alcohol.
What I'm looking forward to: Stronger kicks, painting the nursery, buying more boy clothes.
Now for some ultrasound pics!
And me:
