My Journal


Week 19
By Shannybum » Posted Jun. 27, 2011 11:45am - 250 views - 2 comments

How Big is the Baby: The size of a mango - about six inches long and weighs about half a pound.

New/Changed Symptoms: Itchiness, weird itchy rash at the tops of my thighs where they join my body. Low back pain.

Emotions: A little anxious, but mostly happy.

Something Funny That Happened: The kids have been wanting to feel baby kick. Two weeks ago, I told Keiran that after his week with us, and he goes to his mom's for the week, when he comes back, he'll be able to feel it. I didn't think much of it - sure enough the first thing he asks me when I saw him was if he could feel the baby! Darn it! I totally didn't think he'd remember!!!


Best moment of the Week: So far been a great week, feeling happy, content, energetic, sexy, beautiful!

Movement: Finally started feeling what I KNOW was movement Friday night lying in bed. Was sooo cool! I've been feeling it every day, mostly at night. When I'm not watching for it it takes me by surprise.

Maternity Clothes: Went to Value Village and got some comfy goucho pants and jean shorts. Going again tonight cause they have 50% off whole store (Value Village is a very large thrift store).

Weight: Gained about a pound since last week, only 5 pounds total in 19 weeks, so I'm very pleased :)

Food cravings: candy, candy, more candy. I crave junk food - cheeseburgers & fries. The only healthy thing I crave is fruit, so I've been loading up on that!

Food aversions: Almost all meat and vegetables.

What I Miss: Cold glass of white wine, especially now that it's getting sunny out!

What I'm Looking Forward To: Ultrasound appointment in one week and one day! Going to get a much better look at baby.

Milestone: Feeling baby move :)

Question(s): Who else felt the best/healthiest/most vibrant they've ever felt during pregnancy?
