How far along? 19 Weeks
How big is baby? About the size of a mango! Approximately 6.5 inches and probably bigger than 9 oz now!
Total weight gain: 10 pounds
Sleep: Definitely better than the first and some of the second trimester! It's just annoying to constantly worry about how I am laying...not on my belly and not on my back.
Best moment of the week: Actually hearing my little man's movements. On one of the online yard sale sites, a lady was giving away a fetal doppler because it was given to her, so she wanted to pass it on. Jared was sweet and decided to go pick it up for me. So now I can hear his heartbeat and movements anytime I want!
Food cravings: Just food please
Food aversions: None
Symptoms: Round ligament pains...My uterus is stretching so it can be a little sore, but not bad.
Movement: YES! Some days he is very active and some days he must be taking a break
Gender: ALL boy!
Looking forward to: Christmas break starts tomorrow! I'll have two whole weeks with my Percy and I'll really start planning nursery, registries, etc.
I miss: being able to eat anything I want. I forgot to mention that at the Dr.'s office last week, she told me that the time before and at that appointment, my blood pressure was a little high. She put me on some meds to lower it. Right now I'm taking a low dosage but she said that it'll probably get worse as I go on. I've been exercising more and trying to watch my sodium intake, PLEASE be praying for me and little man!
I told my students on Monday and they were all surprised and happy! I asked for a few suggestions on names....This is what I have so far from them...Jack, MoJo, Carson, Carrots....?? lol
I cannot believe I will be 20 weeks in a few days! Halfway through...The first trimester seemed so slow, and now I feel like it's going quickly.
I also entered in the BabyCenter Blog contest. I am now a top 5 finalist. Up until Dec. 23rd @ 3, you can go vote for me! The top 3 finalists will get gift cards for diapers and will be guest bloggers on their website for the duration of our pregnancies. If you haven't already... check it out! Thank you!
