Baby-Bump-Week-19-Final

Yikes, you guys, I have gotten so behind on these -- as I sit here, I'm actually 21 weeks and just getting around to posting my 19 week photos! Things have just been nuts here -- in a really good way, of course, but there is SO much to do before the baby comes! I've had a crazy few weeks with lots of work (which is great) and with the holidays coming up, I've definitely fallen a little behind with everything non-law-related! So this update will be pretty quick, but here's where I am:

How far along? 19 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: About 12 pounds. I've gained almost exactly a pound per week since the end of the first trimester, which I think is right on track.

Maternity clothes? Maternity pants and regular tops or dresses.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Symptoms: Oh my gosh, this was a scary one. I'd been eating bananas and coconut water to avoid cramps for a while, and then I stopped for a little bit (just out of business/laziness) and suddenly got a terrible abdominal cramp that woke me up in the middle of the night. It was awful, but it went away quickly and I didn't have any other symptoms, so when I asked my doctor about it, she said it probably isn't anything to worry about. So scary though!

Sleep: Eh. Not so great.

Best moment this week: Being a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding! It was so great to see our extended family and celebrate! (Also: I passed the gestational diabetes test! So that was a big relief!)

Worst moment of the week: Being stuck on the tarmac for hours as the snow/ice in DC delayed our return to Texas. Boo!

Have you told family and friends: Yes!

Miss Anything? My clothes! Sometimes I see a dress that would have looked super cute pre-pregnancy and it bums me out that I can't wear them anymore. Hopefully I'll be back to them soon though!

Movement: Tons! Every few hours usually -- when I don't feel anything for more than a few hours, I start to get nervous!

Food cravings: None this week!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Have you started to show yet: People tell me I'm hardly showing, but it really depends on what I'm wearing. When I'm in something tight, it's really obvious!

Labor Signs: Nope

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: Christmas! Also, having the baby's room finished -- we are starting to get close as the pieces I ordered come in!
