19 week update

How far along? 19 weeks!

Baby size: TW1 was 194g and TW2 was 221g at last weeks scan

Total weight gain/loss: 55.2kg's at last weeks check up. Although I sat on Josh's lap  last night and he said I was HEAVY. I think he's just imagining it :)

Maternity clothes? Wore my first maternity top on Monday and oh my gosh, it was so comfy! no more riding up my belly! But today I'm back in my skinny jeans, thanks to a trick my mum showed me with a rubber band. Woohoo! Love my skinny jeans!

Stretch marks? Nothing yet.

Sleep: Sleeping well except for the occasional need to get up and pee. And I seem to wake up every morning with a damn headache. Not a bad one though, so no need for pills.

Best moment this week: Hanging out with the fam bam in Sydney! And changing a diaper for the first time and realising its not that hard. And water walking. I feel so good after a bit of a stretch/walk in the water, and I always end it with a quick float on my belly. Ahhh bliss.

Movement: Feeling a couple of tap taps and last night Josh says he felt something when he put his hand on my belly! Normally I'd say he's imagining it, but I felt a tap from the inside at the same time, so I guess he really did feel it! Still doesn't feel like a proper kick though, like the other preggie girls have described.

Food cravings:  I was craving tuna with avocado and pasta last night. Had it and it was yum!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just brushing my teeth. Not the taste or smell. Rather, I think it's the whole position of leaning over a sink. Makes me gag but only lasts a couple of seconds.

Have you started to show yet: Yes! No hiding it. Love the shape/size I am now :) I must make the most of this "cute bump" stage before i get MASSIVE. Only downside is that my boobs are huge (compared to what I've had all my life), but they don't look that impressive cos of my big belly. Damn.

Gender: It's going to be a surprise!  But my uncle Steve has predicted girls. And he has a gift apparently, and has never gotten it wrong thus far.

Symptoms: Need to pee alot. Wake up with a slight headache everyday. And butt gets sore just from sitting on it. And slight achiness in the hip/leg area.  But generally feeling great :)

Labor Signs: No signs yet 

Things I miss:  sushi, blue cheese, feta, ham, alchohol. Drinking as much tea as I want. Sleeping on my belly.

Belly Button in or out? Well, I say its flat or flush or whatever you call it. But mum and Sharen both said it's an outy now. I think it was just TW2's belly pushing it out, cos I'm sure it has gone down a little bit now

Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to:  Getting my house back! Currently got a bathroom vanity in the dining room, a big ass desk and office chair in there too, double buggy and a suitcase full of maternity clothes that we need to find space for. Arggghhhh! Give me my house back!
