So I know there isn't any rhyme or reason to when I do my pregnancy updates. Yesterday I was in the mood to take another picture so here it is! I'm sure I'll do another update after our 20 week appointment, too.
I seriously think I'm getting huge. Hello stomach. It seems like over night I just started showing! It will be interesting to see how I feel about my 19 week size at 35 weeks! Something that is SO fun is that my cousin gave me a fetal heart rate monitor! She had a difficult pregnancy and the doctor recommended that she get one during her pregnancy; thankfully that difficult pregnancy ended up with her giving birth to a beautiful boy Dylan :) And, since she's no longer pregnant, she gave it to me! I told Dan he is going to have to hold me accountable in regards to how much I use it- I seriously LOVE listening to this baby's heart beat!
In other fun news, I think I *may* have felt movement. It was either that or gas. But, it felt a little different than indigestion, so that's why I think it may be the baby. Two days in a row now that I've felt these movements, so I think it's the baby- but I'll keep you updated when this baby starts to really kick!
In other really fun news, I have realized I can't run for more than 10 minutes without having to go to the bathroom. I have no idea how that one woman ran the Chicago Marathon at 40 weeks pregnant - I can barely make it a mile without running off the treadmill to head to the restroom! I think this baby is using my bladder as a bouncy ball when I run haha
And, I am starting to get a fun collection of baby items in the corner of our bedroom. Here are some of them :)
 |
| My sweet friend Cynthia sent me this book! I can't wait to print all these pictures and put them in it! |
 |
| I bought these "Thank you" baby cards (I had my first shower but I'll share that later :) |
 |
| My parents got us this little lamb for Christmas that makes noises- it's SO soft and I love it. |
 |
| Our first little outfit!! |
 |
| It seems so surreal that there will be a little body in this outfit! Can't wait :) |
 |
| Bought these for $2 each at a consignment sale. It's ok to be jealous of my mad discount shopping skills ;) |
 |
| Dan's parents sent us this HUGE panda! They are so sweet and I am pretty sure it is going to be used as a chair by our baby for the first two years :) |
 |
| Another consignment sale purchase- a jogger! Originally $300 bought for $60! So. excited. |
 |
| I've heard great things about this Bible! So excited to give it to him/ her! |
 |
| Annnd my high school friends got me an Ergo carrier! |
 |
| I will look exactly like this model when I use mine :) |
I can't believe I'm almost half way there! I am just continually in awe of how awesome our God is and how this baby is being formed inside of me. Can you believe it's 5 and a half inches now?! We are so blessed. Can't wait to meet this little one :)
I am 19 weeks tomorrow too! And I think I just started feeling movement a few days ago... and like you, can't tell if its gas or actual baby movement! haha. This is so fun! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look so great!! We said hi to your family after Christmas Eve church but you and Dan were nowhere to be seen - bet you were in the bathroom haha ;)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I am totally jealous of your Ergo and your $2 sleep sack--what a steal! We have the Sleep Sheep too--used it a lot in the beginning :)
