19 Weeks

DSC06513 Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 19 Weeks

Size of baby: 6 inches long and weighs 8.5 ounces. He is the size of a large heirloom tomato!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 4lbs
Maternity Clothes: 100% in maternity clothes. I wear dresses ALOT, but had to wear maternity jeans to work!

Gender: BOY!!
Movement: I feel him move a lot now. He likes to kick very low! Becoming more active during the day than at night. 

Food Cravings: Just food!! I can’t stop eating!

What I miss: Cool weather!

Sleep: Sleeping ok  because I am completely exhausted by bed time, but have INSANE dreams. Had a dream I had an ultrasound and my baby only had one giant eyeball, but my OB didn’t seem concerned. He said he already ordered an extra eye for him! WHAT?!?

Symptoms: The heat and stress of chasing my 3 year old apparently makes me really sick in the evenings! Also feeling a lot of round ligament pain.

Best Moment this week: Being told “I can’t believe you are almost 20 weeks, you look amazing” And I was in a swimsuit!!

What I am looking forward to: Doctor Appointment on June 16. Get to hear heart beat!

Still the Queen of the House

Well by now everyone knows we are having another little boy. It has taken me a while to come to peace with this (not sure why). I guess I really just wanted a little girl. I am learning over the last week why I am having boys!

There is nothing better than my sweet 3 year old waking up and giving me a BIG hug and kiss and telling me how much he loves me!

I like being outside, chasing lizards and catching frogs. I don’t know how precious a little girl in a tu-tu would be trying to catch a frog!

I love that when we are somewhere completely inconvenient for T to go potty that we can always find a place to go (some people say that’s gross, but it’s better than peeing in his pants).

The fact that a bandaide and a kiss from Mommy solves all injuries.

And finally I married a coach. We do sports year round. I have boys to pass on my husbands athletic legacy and one day will get to travel to watch them play sports. I love my boys and I am really excited to have another one!

With summer in full swing (or at least it feels that way outside) we have been enjoying quite a few popsicles and we introduced T to watermelon! HE LOVES IT! DSC06504

Why wouldn’t I want to be surrounded by more handsome faces like this! DSC06509 

I am such a proud Mommy and wife. I love my boys and can’t wait to meet this next little sweetie pie! Maybe we will try for a 3rd in a couple years!! :)
