19 Weeks



How far along? 19 Weeks, 4 days
Baby is the size of: A softball. Measures around 7-8 inches long and weighs about a 1/2 of a pound (approximately 8-8.5 ounces). 

What's new with baby: He's able to make facial gestures such as frowning and smiling. He's developing specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Unique fingerprints have formed at the tips of his fingers and tiny blood vessels are visible under the skin. 
Maternity clothes? Still regular dresses and maternity jeans. Should start shopping for some maternity works pants soon.
Sleep: I love sleep! Been sleeping really good this week.
Sleeping on: Side and back.
Best moment this week: Finding out that we are having a little boy. It is so incredible seeing him and learning that everything looks good and healthy. And come on,
how cute is he?!? 
After the news we had some fun and registered, bought a crib and a dresser and some blue paint samples that are up on the wall for some testing.
Miss Anything? I'm content
Movement: Yes!!! Lightly and usually only when I'm still but its pretty cool. Feels like bubbles in your stomach.
Food cravings: Pizza, buffalo wings
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Not this week.
Have you started to show yet: Yes. 

Gender: It's a boy!
Name selected?: Yes!
Working out? Yes, back in the swing of things.
Labor Signs: No.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Health: So great thankfully. 

Any recommendations on good lotions to help prevent stretch marks? I don't want 'em! What worked for you?
Feeling (happy, moody, emotional, scared): Happy doesn't even begin to describe it. :)
Looking forward to: Decorating our little man's nursery. So much fun!
Next appointment: August 21
