Today I am 19 weeks !!
On Valentine's day, we had another doctors appointment and got to hear Nugget's heartbeat again : ) The appointment was short and sweet but we received the good news that if the doc can hear the heartbeat with his tool thing ( I forgot what it was called lol ) on our next appointment in March, we get to go back the next week and get our first sonogram !! I am so excited to get to see Nugget for the first time and to find out if we are having a boy or a girl !!
These are the questions I get asked the most...
Cravings: Nothing crazy yet but I go through phases where I only want a specific thing for like a week. For example several weeks ago, all I wanted was sour cream chicken enchiladas from El Chico... they had to be from El Chico!! The plus side of that week was they have Wednesday's as $3.99 enchilada dinner night (or White Trash Wednesday ) : ) Another week all I wanted to drink was Cran-grape juice and this week all I want is burritos from Taco Bueno !
Boy/Girl : We should find out in about a month if we are having a boy or a girl !! Most people think I am having a boy but in my heart of hearts I feel like we are having a girl... I guess we shall see :) I think it goes without saying we will be thrilled either way. Luke says we need a boy first so he can be protective over the girl... lol According to the man who told me he was an angel from God sent to give me a message, while I was at work, I am having a boy and we are to name him Michael... I'll write a completely separate post for the rest of that entertaining story!
Names: Nothing set in stone, we have a few ideas. I've shared a few but most people are too opinionated... :)
Sickness: Week 7-8 it tasted like everything I ate had been dipped in tons of salt... It was the WORST!!! I didn't want to eat anything which eventually led to nausea and I didn't get sick in the mornings, I got sick at night!! Weeks 9 - 13 were probably the worst for night time sickness but since then it has slowly faded out ! I feel pretty good most of the time. If it hadn't been for Jimmy Dean sausage and biscuits or breakfast tacos, I would have starved to death oh and thank God for Welch's fruit snacks !! My feet are super sore when I get off work which is making my lower back hurt but I think a good new pair of shoes will make the world of a difference.
Movement: Haven't felt baby move yet but I'm patiently waiting :) :)
Maternity clothes: Ugh, after loosing another pair of jeans on V-day, I broke down and finally bought some maternity jeans! The hair tie/rubber band trick works but this is much more comfortable. Luckily, Gap was having a 40% off maternity sale :)
Baby Bump: Some days I feel like it's there and others I don't ! I was going to post a pic but I don't know how to get them from my phone onto here :/ When my darling baby daddy wakes up, I will have him give me a tutorial and I'll update again
week 19 <3
