Week 19 Pregnancy Update

By -
Baby boy is the size of a mango!

 How Far Along? 19 weeks
Weight Gain? Probably at least 3-4 pounds by now.
Maternity Clothes? I'm officially in all maternity clothes now. I'll be going through all my drawers in my dresser and the last load of laundry yet to be folded and remove all my regular clothes. Its fine though, maternity clothes are more comfy anyway. 
Stretch Marks? Sadly, the ones on my tummy are starting to turn purple again. 
Sleep? I've been way more tired this week than I have in a few months. I've needed to take a nap every day for the past three days since I just get so exhausted! (Its actually what I'll be doing once I'm done writing this post.)
Best Moment This Week? Seeing the baby move for the first time. He kicked the waist band on my sweatpants so hard that even Josh saw it!
Miss Anything? My hubby! He had two and a half weeks off and his first day back to work was Thursday. Even Lincoln wasn't happy, that day he wouldn't cooperate with anything I tried to get him to do.
Movement? Lots and lots! It's funny though, because he won't kick hardly ever unless I'm laying flat on my back.
Food Cravings? Nothing really, since I was getting over the flu for the first half of the week, but if I had to say something, I'd say a green onion cheese ball with Chickin in a Biskit crackers. My amazing hubby searched two different stores to find me some. (I love that guy!)
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? I don't think I can really answer this one since I had the flu, so everything seemed yucky then.
Gender: Boy!
Labor Signs? Nope.
Symptoms? I've been getting headaches nightly for the past 5 nights. Also, I still have to go to the bathroom a ton. Who would have thought that something that only weighed eight and a half ounces could effect your bladder so much??
Happy or Moody? I wouldn't say either for the first part of the week, it would more be like exhaustion. For the second half of the week, I was mostly sad because Josh had to go back to work. So I guess neither??
Belly Button, In or Out? Its a bit of both, actually. It's still deciding how long to stay an innie, but I have the feeling it won't be long before it gives in and becomes an outie.
Wedding Ring, On or Off? Off, for now. I've been swelling on and off throughout the day so I don't wear it anymore. :'(
Looking Forward To? My little Lincoln's first birthday THIS FRIDAY!! I can't believe he's already gonna be one. Where did the time go??

Thanks for reading!

I tried something new with my hair. What do you think? How Far Along? 36 weeks Total Weight Gain: 23 pounds Maternity Clothes? Yep! It's kinda sad though, Josh's shirts can hardly cover my tummy anymore! Stretch Marks? Tons! Although they're already starting to fade quite a bit. Sleep:  My sleep has been pretty good so far this week. Best Moment This Week: Going out to Costa Vida for our date night! Miss Anything? Nothing that I haven't already mentioned. Movement: Lots! He really hasn't slowed down since his peak at 28 weeks. My doc said he should slow down soon but I have a feeling he's just going to keep on kickin'. I think this might mean that I'm going to have a wild child on my hands further down the road. Food Cravings: Chili's bacon ranch quesadillas and their cookie brownie with ice cream on top. Yum yum yum! Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Fish, eggs, and peppermint Gender: Boy Labor Signs: None yet! I think Lincoln i...

Lincoln 7 Week Update

I just wanted to write a quick update on how my little peanut is doing! Lincoln is getting stronger every day! He held his head up for a whole two minutes a few days ago and his stepping reflex is working like crazy whenever I try to make him bear weight on his legs. I've got a little body builder baby! He's starting to become more aware of what's going on around him. I'll walk around with him and he's always trying to look at everything, especially our bookcases. He just loves it! He's starting to hold onto toys! I put his baby keys in his hand and he held onto them for dear life! He's starting to get interested in different sounds, he's even turning toward them! As you can see, he's smiling now! He'll smile a lot when you talk to him in a baby voice and when you make cooing noises at him. He's making more cooing sounds himself! I think he's realizing that he has a voice.  Lincoln loves his daddy so mu...

Something Terrible Happened

By -
I'm not sure exactly how to start this post, but I know it needs to be written. I don't want to forget this experience even though it feels so painful. Last week, I was a little over 4 weeks along and my prenatal vitamins came in the mail. I was diligently making a pregnancy test chart to compare the darkness of the test lines from the day before. I was feeling so much better than I did before our pregnancy loss last year (the second line was visible for a day and then the line disappeared and my cycle started soon after) since the test line was clearly visible, even from an arms length away. The day after I started my vitamins, I noticed that my nausea had basically gone away, something I was thrilled about since I hate feeling sick like that. My skin started breaking out worse than it had all week and I chalked it up to pregnancy hormones. We had my in-laws over for Mother's Day and just before we started cooking up S'mores, I felt a wave of depression hit me. I ...
