Week 19

*let's just ignore the top half of this photo... it was 11:00 when I remembered I needed to take a picture and was too lazy to do anything but get off the couch with the camera... we'll just pretend my hair isn't a hot mess and I actually still have make-up on!


How Far Along: 19 weeks

How big is Baby? 6.5 inches, 8 ounces... although the ultrasound said 11 ounces- already a big one! :)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 9 pounds- but after tomorrow's 4th of July feast, I fully expect it to be more

Maternity Clothes: yes... I feel like this question is getting repetitive... let's just assume I'm only wearing maternity from here on out.  I'll let you know when I outgrow the clothes I have right now.

Gender: GIRL!  Lucy Kate Rigdon

Movement: Yes!  She's definitely a wiggler... it was fun to see her moving at the ultrasound.  And she still LOVES her big brother's laugh!

Sleep: another restless week... I guess I should just get used to it.  I did bring another pillow in to put between my knees, and that has helped my hips not be as stiff in the mornings.

What I miss: normal clothes... sleeping... running

Cravings: water... is that a weird thing to crave?  I have seriously been so thirsty all week!

Food Aversions: I think I might be over most of these for now? Except for bananas...

Symptoms: This week I had some serious pain in my right side and hips... ligaments stretching, no fun!

Best Moment: The ultrasound on Friday and finding out we're having a girl- and that she's healthy!
