18/19+ Weeks

18 Weeks

19+ Weeks

How far along: 19 Weeks (the second picture was taken a few days after I normally take them so it's 19+)

Total weight gain: 8.5 pounds total (stopped weighing weekly during the holidays so I don't know how much this week).

Food craving:  Everything! My appetite has kicked in overdrive.

Food aversions: Luckily, none.

Maternity Clothes: YEP! I made the cross over and I'm never going back.  I got some maternity pants for Christmas and did some post Christmas shopping for more. I never thought I would be so happy to have an elastic waistband!

What I’m looking forward to:  20 week ultrasound on Monday. This is another big one where they measure all the organs and make sure everything looks like it is deveoping on schedule. I can't wait to see our boy again!

Milestones: We started talking names and have narrowed it down to a "short list."  
I'm reluctant to share our choices because I don't want the "I knew a X once and he was such an ass."

Best moment this week: Feeling a little more movement from Ward Jr. (from the inside only) and buying the nursery furniture. We bought a crib, double dresser, and glider! I also bought some bedding and I can't wait to start putting it all together.

We had a good, uneventful New Years which was exactly what the doctor ordered (not literally). Thanksgiving was supposed to be relaxing, but I ended up doing way too much and I felt sick in the downtime that I did have.  I knew Christmas was going to feel crazy and it lived up to expectations. Luckily last week at work was slow and then we had a good three day weekend for New Years. I got some stuff done around the house that I have been trying to get done for awhile and got some sleep.
