How Far Along: 19 Weeks 1 day
Total weight gain: At our last doctors visit 2 weeks ago I had finally put on 2lbs. Slowly but surely putting them on. Any day now I'm sure the pounds will start to pile on. My goal is to not exceed 30lbs.
Maternity clothes: I can still wear most of my regular clothes. Although, I had two tubs of maternity clothes given to me and as much as I always hated the look of maternity jeans they are sooooo comfortable! I don't quite have a big enough belly to keep them up so I usually just wear them around the house unless were going out to eat. They come in very handy then.
Food Cravings: I really haven't had cravings for any certain food. Just any food I can get my hands on. I'm always hungry. Commercials get the best of me though. I'll see a commercial for Wendy's or something and next thing you know I am waiting in the drive through. It's awful. I'm using the "I'm pregnant" to my full advantage that's for sure.
Movement: I started feeling it move about a week or so ago. Everyone told me it feels like the butterfly's. I think my child skipped the flutter part and just went straight to punching me in the gut. It never fails every time I lay down at night to go to bed or take a nap it goes crazy and I can't sleep. I had been preparing myself for this since every doctors visit we had the doctor has made comments of how wild it is. My belly also shrinks when it moves. The other day I walked in the door from work and Trevor said "Where's your belly?" As if I forgot it or something, but my belly was almost flat. Then maybe a half hour later I felt it moving and my belly appeared. I don't know if it was curled up funny or it moved further back or something, but it was honestly one of the weirdest things I have experienced. It was kicking so hard the other day I could see it on my belly. Although, I had eaten nothing but gummy worms that day so I'm sure it was so wired it didn't even know what to do with itself because it hasn't happened again.
We ended up having so many friends pregnant all at the same time. It's been kinda fun and I'm sure will be a lot of fun once we all have our babies. Trev's friend Jason and his cute wife Ashleigh are expecting a little boy the first part of December. One of my good friends Jaclyn is due with a little girl just 4 weeks before me. I have another friend Parker that is due 10 days after me and now Aubry and Brady who are due 4 weeks after me. So many babies. I can't wait to find out what this little one is. I honestly have no idea what it is. When we very first found out we were pregnant without a doubt I thought it was a boy for the longest time, but lately I have been having these crazy dreams of a little girl. I've confused myself. I guess we'll see which it is in 6 days!! Either way I'll be happy.
