Our Little Blessing at 19 weeks!

How far along? 19 Weeks

Baby's size and stats?
She should be able to start hearing us this week!! I want to start reading to her!!

Gain? I have gained a total of 7 pounds, I weighed myself at the Dr and I have gained 6-7 pounds.

Maternity clothes? Still the same. Just maternity bottoms. Things are getting a lot tighter recently!! :)

Stretch marks? None

Sleep? Sleep is good, but I am still waking up on my back. My Dr. said to get some kind of support pillow and put it behind me so I don't roll onto my back. But then I have been having problems with my left side getting numb. It is so weird. I try to stay on my left side as much as I can because I read that is the best side for the baby.

Foods I am loving? Flavorful foods, mashed potatoes, noodles, chocolate milk and more chocolate milk!

Foods I am hating? Plain chicken, fried foods.

Best moment this week? Can you guess!! :) Seeing our precious baby on screen for almost a half hour and finding our that our baby's a GIRL!!!! She was sucking her thumb the whole time, and it brought me to tears every time. That was something I will never forget for as long as I live!!

Movement? I have not felt any movement, and now I know why!! I told my ultrasound tech that I have not been feeling any movement, and I thought it was strange because I could see our baby is very active. She was kicking and moving all around!! :) He said my placenta is in the front instead of in the back and she is kicking that so I do not feel anything. He said she will make up for lost time in a few months! I felt so relieved to hear that there is actually a reason for me not feeling anything.

Symptoms? I have been a lot more hungry more often. When I do not eat every hour or two I will feel nauseous.

Gender? A beautiful baby GIRL!!

What I'm looking forward to? I cannot wait to meet her!! I am very very impatient right now. I want to hold her, and look at her!! She is so precious. Her profile just melts my heart.

Milestones: Finding out our baby's gender!! And she is measuring exactly 19 weeks and 2 days!! Right on!!

Emotions: So happy that my face hurts. I have been smiling so much. I feel very blessed that our baby is healthy and that everything looked great. We were able to see every part of our baby, and the Lord has Blessed us immensely.
