How far along? 19 weeks, 5 days
Sleep: good
Best moment this week: having a 4 day weekend, good times with friends & family…I am very blessed!
Movement: yes…especially when I’m walking on the treadmill
Food cravings: applesauce & chocolate milk
Gender: ??? We find out in 2 DAYS!!
What I miss: my favorite pre-preggo skinny jeans. I did finally find some maternity skinny jeans that aren’t bad for maternity jeans, although they are still a little big and pulling them up constantly is no fun.
What I am looking forward to: our ultrasound!!
Weekly Wisdom: “Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty”. Thanks Doris Day.
*I apologize for the not-so-great picture. I really wanted to show off my new Christmas tree more than my belly this week
I LOVE Christmas decorations and my house is officially decorated (the earliest I’ve ever gotten it done)!*
From BabyCenter:
“Your baby’s sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don’t be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.
Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.”
