Week 18- Baby is the Size of A Bell Pepper, and WE FOUND OUT THE GENDER!

The wind hid the blue balloons, but they're there!
What do you think?!
Boy or Girl?
 

Week 18 was an easy one physically, but a hard one emotionally. We got some news that should be nothing, but could be something. I'd rather not share the details at this time, but would like to ask for prayers, positive thoughts, happy dances, or whatever might be your way of bestowing luck. We'll know more a week from Thursday, and for now, we're just having faith that all will be fine. That's all we can do as we wait, and let our sweet pea continue to grow, and develop.

 

How far along? 19 weeks today

Total weight gain/loss? Won't be doing this part until the next Dr. Appt. I don't trust my scale at home, so I'm only going off of the "official" one.

Maternity clothes? Finally broke down, and bought 2 pairs of work pants, and a pair of jeans. WHAT WAS I THINKING WAITING?!?! These pants are the most comfortable things ever! I don't know why I was fighting it/ messing with the hair tye around the pants trick. Next pregnancy, I'll be wearing maternity pants as soon as my other pants start getting uncomfortable. Shoot, I may even wear maternity clothes when i'm not pregnant, I love them!

Stretch marks? None, and I'm being adiment about applying lotion like a mad woman now that everything seems to be expanding quicker than before!

Sleep? Sleep was horrible this week, but I'm sure it was due to stress/the news.

Best moment this week? Finding out the gender was bitter-sweet. We're so incredibly happy, it just came with some other news that affected our mood that day.

Miss Anything? Steak, I like mine cooked Rare, which is a big no-no during pregnancy :-(

 

Movement? No movement yet. If so, it's being over passed by the pains my ligaments stretching is causing. Ha!

Food/Drink cravings? Orange Juice, and I had fajitas 3 days last week! So so so good!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
 
Have you started to show yet? Yes, it's not super obvious yet though

Gender? Announcement coming soon :-)

 

Labor Signs? Nope

 

Belly Button in or out? In

Happy or Moody most of the time? Let's just say- emotional, with a positive outlook

Looking forward to? Now that we know the gender, the next milestone is Christmas, and getting to see my family! I can't wait for them to see the baby belly, and it'll for sure be moving by then so getting to share that with my parents will be so amazing. Miss y'all so much!
