Bumpdate!

I was 19 weeks on Saturday. One more week and I’ll be half way there!

wk19-1

I switched sides to see if I looked less awkward. As you can see, I still look ridiculous! I’m gonna start posing with a cat or dog. Or something!

How Far Along: 19 weeks

Total Weight Gained: Let’s just recap. I don’t weigh at home. Mainly because Bert really wants me to gain 200 lbs and I don’t feel like arguing with him over the accuracy of our scale. According to the doctor’s office I’ve gained 2 lbs total. (as of last month)

Maternity Clothes: Some stuff I can still wear. But maternity clothes are much more comfortable. 

Sleep: I feel like I never get enough sleep!

Best Moment of the Week: Were there any good moments? Not sure.

Food Cravings: Salads. Poppy seed dressing. Caramel apples. But only because I saw them on Lisa’s blog! 

Food Aversions: Eggs.

Symptoms: I’m pretty sure this baby is trying to kill me. Well maybe I shouldn’t be that dramatic but I’m pretty sure Baby D is growing inside my vagina. You’re welcome! – I find myself saying “ow” and holding myself a lot. It’s quite unpleasant.

I’m also very clumsy. I drop everything I pick up. Hopefully this is gone when the baby gets here. So basically don’t let me hold your kid. :)

Movement: I’m pretty sure I felt the baby move. Even though Bert says I didn’t. But what the hell does he know? 

Gender: One week and we’ll know for sure. I’m curious to see if Random guy at the DMV was right! Cast your votes for boy/girl so we can see what everyone thinks!

What I miss: I’m still stuck on wine. I can’t help it. Just call me a wino. I’m pretty sure after I have the baby I’m not gonna want wine anymore. I’ll be pissed.

What I'm looking forward to: Gender ultrasound in 7 days!

Weekly Wisdom: People tell you that your pregnancy flies by. Tell those people to call me. Or better yet, just ask me. This is taking for flipping ever. – Does that count as wisdom??

Milestones: Just to warn you….this is TMI. Like excessive TMI. So if you still want to be my friend please don’t read this part. k thanks.

It’s a milestone if I can go to the bathroom! Like break out the champagne kinda milestone.

I told you not to read that part! Will you still be my friend?!?
