Here is my 19 week pregnancy update! I hope you all are having a Merry Christmas! It is very exciting to think that next year Baby Pillow will be celebrating Christmas with us!
Size of baby: Mango, about 6 inches long, weighing about 8.5 ounces
How far along? 19 weeks!
Total weight gain/measurements: about 17 pounds, 167 pounds
Maternity clothes: Yes, but I can mix and match my maternity bottoms with tops that I already have! I find maternity clothes to be so comfortable and forgiving to the belly as well as the rest of your growing body! I am very excited because David bought me a few maternity dresses for Christmas!
Nursery: We are still unpacking, no nursery yet.
Stretch marks: Thankfully no, but I know my tummy is stretching because I can feel it itch from time to time! I need to get some more cream though, I ran out last week.
Sleep: It has been a little more comfortable to sleep this week since David gave me my early Christmas gift, a pregnancy pillow.
Best moment this week: Finding my pregnancy pillow waiting for me in the bed, left there by my lovely husband, David.
Miss anything? Not having hip pain.
Movement: Yes, I notice the baby especially likes to move a night!
Food cravings: Sweets!
Anything making you queasy or sick? I bought David some sausage for breakfast this week. The seasonings grossed me out.
Gender: Don’t know yet, I’m leaning towards girl.
Labour signs: Nope, not yet.
Symptoms: Same as last week! I am very tired all the time, and sore most of the time as well. My back aches a lot, all the way down to my tailbone ): I am a lot happier these days. I hadn’t been able to cook up until about last week, 17 weeks. I am enjoying food more. I have been having cramping at night for the last week, and an itchy tummy sometimes. Also, I have been having a sore navel for the past month in general. The normal running to the restroom often. I get hungry very quickly, and try to eat small frequent meals throughout the day. I have breakfast every morning now. My bump is also getting bigger making it to where I cannot fit any of my pre-pregnancy bottoms.
Belly button in or out? It’s out! Been out for a few weeks now!
Wedding rings on or off? On, but I did gain a little wait in my fingers, because one of my rings that couldn’t fit my ring finger on my right hand now fits!
Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy, haven’t been moody lately!
Looking forward to: Wearing my new maternity clothes and filming haul videos next week!
