It has been a pretty good week so far. Saturday I met a friend at PetsMart and we got our dogs pictures with Santa! I forgot to scan the picture to myself so that I could upload it. I will post the picture later though. It was fun! Poor Marlon was scared though, so he sat on my lap while I sat next to Santa. In the meantime, here is a picture of him all snuggled up in the blanket.
Not too much to update on this week. I have my next appointment Thursday, so I am looking forward to that. This should be the appointment when she begins to measure my belly and all that fun stuff. And as always I get to hear the heartbeat - always love that moment. She just moved! :) Feeling movement is so cool. It is really weird though at the same time. Every once in a while I jump because it startles me so much. Feeling the movement makes it all the more real - that this is really happening. I am really pregnant. Honestly, sometimes it scares me too. I begin to worry about labor and delivery and I wonder about what kinds of pains will I endure in the weeks to come. I have read that a lot of women start to have mixed emotions during this point. And I am still just as excited, just nervous about how I am going to handle the labor part of it. But with the Lord's help I will get through it. I am still just so thankful that the Lord has blessed us in this way - truly a miracle and that miracle is growing inside of me. How crazy is that?! Pregnancy is one of those things that you just can't fathom (How is it hat I have a human growing in side of me?!). Like trying to figure out the concept of eternity...
I found a crib online at Target that I like!! It is crib/changing table/drawers all in one!! Then one side of the crib can be removed and it turns into a toddler bed. Then you can take it apart and it is a twin bed with a night stand/drawers. Anyway, I like the idea and look of it from just looking at the website. Still need to shop around though and make sure I find one that will work best and for the best deal! But having a crib, drawers, and changing table all in one would save so much space in her room. That room is not that big, and I was afraid we wouldn't have room for all that plus the glider that I will eventually put in there. So with something like this, it would leave lots more room for other things.
Here is the weekly questionnaire:
How far along? 19 Weeks
Total weight gain: Not sure...will find out Thursday. I don't think I want to know though. :)
Maternity clothes? Yes!
Stretch marks? Not that I can tell so far...just my veins are really noticeable.
Sleep: Still a hit or miss on this one. Just depends on the night.
Best moment this week: Sunday night she moved a TON and I really enjoyed it. And today at work, I felt her moving, so I put my hand on my belly to see if I could feel it, and I did! It felt like a little wave.
Miss Anything? Still want to go running
Movement: Here and there. Getting a little stronger though when I do feel it.
Food cravings: Cuties (I eat a couple a day) and chocolate. I constantly want something sweet.
Anything making you queasy or sick: The sewage smell that was wafting in the bathroom at work on Monday
Gender: Girl!
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: I am having what they call Round Ligament Pain. A sign of my uterus growing even more.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY! Only moody when I am driving.
Looking forward to: Doctor appointment Thursday. I will get to hear the heartbeat again and this is the week my doctor will start measuring my uterus and all that fun stuff!
