Bumpdate: Week 19

Oh hi! I finally made it back here, and yes, I'm still very much pregnant. Sorry I've been absent for the past 8 weeks, but literally we've had family in town almost every single week & it's hard to find time to blog when you're too busy having fun every day! But here we are!



How far along? 19 weeks!

Total weight gain? About 10 lbs, maybe? I've decided to only weigh myself at the doctor, so I'm just guessing here :)

Maternity clothes? Yes! Maternity pants, sweatpants, and dresses are all I live in these days.

Sleep? I can finally make it through the day without a nap (if absolutely necessary) and I've started sleeping more through the night! That body pillow helps SO MUCH though.

Best moment this week? Feeling baby kicks! Jeff & Paige have also both felt them and they're so great! Makes pregnancy much easier & much more fun! And watching the Olympics-- it's my favorite time of year!

Worst moment this week? I don't know if I have a "worst moment"! It's all been pretty great! But I did get really annoyed when I saw someone (without kids) bashing a mom for her parenting. Sorry, but you don't have a right to do that EVER, let alone when you have no idea what it's like to have kids. Screaming kids.

Miss anything? Being able to bend over, for the most part. It's getting harder for sure, but I know it's only going to get harder from here on out! 

Movement: YES. FINALLY. I've been waiting for this! Easily my favorite part of pregnancy. 

Food craving/aversions? Cheese & fruit, all day, every day. And lemonade (but that one's not really new ;)

Have you started to show yet? Oh yes. Oh yes I have. It's kind of crazy since I wasn't even showing until about 25-ish weeks with Paige.

Gender? We find out on Thursday! Jeff thinks it's a boy, Paige thinks it's both haha, and we've had quite a few people guess girl! I had a dream we were having a girl (which I also had with Paige), but I'm not basing my guess off of that! I've decided not to guess because I really don't like being wrong haha!
