19 WEEK BUMPDATE
Sunday, 24 April 2016
This week went by really quick which was surprising after coming back from our shutdown week. It feels so surreal that next week we are halfway done! Seriously the time is flying and the summer will be over and she will be here before we know it. That realization hits me every once and a while and I feel very unprepared. I have experienced some nesting, wanting to organize the nursery because things just seem to be all over the place and once we have our showers it will feel even worse. Unfortunately until the bedroom is finished there isn't much I can do which is driving me nuts of course haha.
How far along? 19 weeks
Total weight gain? I haven't weighed myself this week so I'm not 100% sure on the weight gain.
Maternity clothes? The jeans are getting tighter, so pretty soon I'll have to transition I think.
Stretch marks? Yeah, they aren't prominent but I know they are there.
Sleep? I have been staying up later and pretty much back to my original bedtime which is around 10/10:30pm. However, it doesn't matter how late I stay up, I ALWAYS wake up around 6am which can get annoying.
Best moment this week? This makes me emotional just talking about it. I have a doppler and one night this week I was finding her heartbeat. When I found it I felt a tiny little kick and proceeded to ugly cry for about an hour and call my mom ha. I think at that moment it hit me that I'm having a baby, I have been feeling small movements but they happen so fast, this was the first prominent kick (she probably hates the doppler and it was her way of saying get that thing away from me mom!)
Miss anything? Nothing really stands out this week.
Movement? Yes, she is starting to make herself known!
Food cravings? It's always ice cream.. which I don't hate haha but seriously how is she not sick of it?! I have a small bowl at least once a day, usually as my "nighttime treat."
Anything making you feel sick or queasy? Nothing this week, sometimes I wake up feeling gross but it goes away fairly quickly.
Showing? It's 50/50 with me and maybe it is because I see my body all the time. My stomach is hard so I know I'm pregnant, but it doesn't feel like I'm always showing. Kyle has told me multiple times that I am really starting to show, but I guess it just depends on the clothes I wear.
Gender? GIRL!!!
Labor signs? None.
Symptoms? Nothing outstanding, have been told I have the glow and I really do not feel that way but I'm sure that's normal.
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding ring on or off? On, but lately I have always been taking them off at night. They aren't tight or anything they just irritate me.
Happy or moody most of the time? Moody and emotional. It really is a rollercoaster of emotionas that I can't explain. I hate being moody especially towards Kyle I feel so guilty after, but small things have really made me on edge and I either freak out or cry about it lol. Hoping next week is a happier week :/
Looking forward to: Being half way! And for the weather to get warm again .. seriously we are almost into May and looking at potential snow this week.
