Wow, where has the time gone, Its been quite a few weeks since I have posted my pregnancy journal. This is where I am at now.
How Far Along –
As of today I am 19 weeks 4 days
Due Date –
My Due date is May 20, 2014
Boy or Girl –
We are keeping our lips sealed a little longer – hopefully we will have another ultrasound in February – and it will confirm what we were told.
Bump Picture –
Over the past couple weeks my lil peanut has been making their presence know. I am finally starting to gain weight. I started my pregnancy at 168.9 lbs, and at 19 weeks, I am at 175 lbs
Baby Development –
Baby Size – 6″ Heirloom Tomato. Baby Weight – 8.5oz
Your baby’s sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don’t be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you. (babycenter.com)

Symptoms – I thought they said that you get your energy back through the second Trimester… Ummm, I’d really like some of mine back . I find that I’m ready for a nap at 11am, then 2pm, then ready for bed by 8… Yawn..
Current Cravings – Nothing currently
Currently Avoiding – I haven’t avoided any food yet – Chicken is a little rough to eat… I can only eat a little bit at a time.
Belly Button Status – Still in
Movement – Not sure if I have felt any movement. There hasnt been any noticible jabs or movements. If anything its a random and rare occasion where it feels like a bubble popped in my belly.
Any Appointments? – Just had my 18 week appointment last week. Everything sounds good!
How I have been feeling – Besides being exhausted, Ive felt pretty good! Any little bit of Morning Sickness appears to be gone. I’m sleeping a hair better at night (Except for the times where the pups wants to go outside…) . I do find that I am extremely Emotional still though.
Reactions from the Kids: Even though all the hustle and bustle of Christmas, both kids still are excited that in a few more months we will be expanding the family! Even Santa left a stocking for Peanut this year (he left a bag of those orange marshmallow peanuts in the stocking)

Awww you look adorable! My favorite part of the pregnancy was the feeling of the baby moving around! I hope you get your energy back soon!
You look beautiful! Isn’t it nice to be out of that morning sickness stage? Could you imagine being one of those women who have morning sickness through out their whole pregnancies? That would be horrible. I am currently on the homestretch with baby #3 – just about 33 weeks. So excited! I wish us both happy and healthy pregnancies!
Congrats!
Congratulations! Hope everything goes well for the rest of your pregnancy
I LOVE what Santa left for your little peanut (and mama)! 😉 You’re looking great, and I’m super impressed with your minimal weight gain- your dr. better not be giving you grief anymore!!!
Congrats on Baby! I miss being pregnant. It was 3 of the greatest experiences of my life and then some. My Niece is having her first baby Due April 3rd, a boy. Children are a blessing. I am forever grateful to have been blessed with 3 with my Husband and his 2 older boys, my Stepsons. Bless you and yours. Looking forward to your progress and seeing the little bundle.
It’s a beautiful process. This is a great way of documenting it
thats a cute little belly. I cant wait to meet the little peanut.
