19 weeks and counting!

I really don't feel like I am 19 weeks pregnant.  I mean, really.  Sure, I am exhausted, but if you knew my schedule, it would make any person tired!  I have been dealing with some round ligament pain from hell the past two days and it's actually been keeping me awake at night which really sucks!  Here are some other updates on the past two weeks:
-My anatomy scan is on Monday and I am super excited!!! I can't wait to find out what's cooking!
-my friend Melissa is still in a coma but her vital signs are all perfect...just waiting for her brain to wake up. She had some complications with her feeding tube that she had surgery to fix and she's recovering still from that. She's now having some fluid pockets forming in her stomach that keep needing to be aspirated, so once that is under control she will be moving to Kessler Rehabilitation Center. I think that is going to help her so much to get her up and moving.
-Nikolas starts summer camp this upcoming Monday and he's pretty excited about it. He should be, it cost me enough $$$! lol
-Carter had his 2 1/2 year check up on Monday, little booger is right on track! He's slimmed down a ton! He weighs in at 35 lbs and stands in at 38 in tall.
-I'm exhausted, feeling wonderful, just super tired. I have been sleeping like crap dealing with RLP all.night.long. Tossing and turning, it sucks. I took the snoogle out of hiding to try and help prop me up a bit. It helps a little.
-I took a "stay-cation" from work last Tuesday-Tuesday, and it went well...I didn't really get much done but I did get to relax a tiny bit, well, for like 3 days out of the 8. I still have a ton of work to do at the house, we are trying to move the boys into one room to see how it goes and I didn't get much cleaning at all done.


All in all that's pretty much been my last 2 weeks.  Nothing too exciting.  










  • How far along?  19 weeks. 
  • How big is baby? weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom, about the size of a mango!
  • Total weight gain: total weight gain I'd say is around 11lbs so far, give or take a few.
  • Maternity clothes? I am wearing more and more maternity items and they are so comfy!
  • Stretch marks? No new ones.  (I have a few on my boobs from the boys, but that's it)
  • Sleep: Past two days have been hell.  Round ligament pain has taken over and is keeping me up.  Every time I turn over or change positions I get sharp uncomfortable pains, it sucks.
  • Best moment this week:  taking time off of work to spend with the boys :)
  • Miss Anything? I miss my best friend...I pray everyday for her recovery.  I want her to wake up.  I need my best friend's opinion on things, life has been so different in certain aspects the past month.  I miss her so much.
  • Movement: this baby is a lazy one!  I can feel it every now and then, but not nearly as much as I felt movement at this point with the boys...every time I start to get nervous I break out the doppler and there the babe is, heart beating strongly, I just wish I would feel it a little more, I need reassurance!
  • Food cravings: past two weeks I have been on a cookie binge.  Chocolate chip preferably, but Milano cookies are high on the list as well.
  • Food aversions: coffee.
  • Gender: oh, hello, we find out THIS COMING MONDAY!!!!  As in, like, 4 more days!!!
  • Labor Signs: Not for quite some time!
  • Symptoms: exhausted and round ligament pain out of control.
  • Belly Button in or out? in, but it is changing.
  • Wedding rings on or off? On :) they have a little room to play, hoping the swelling stays under control!
  • Looking forward to:  knowing what this baby is!!! 
  • Milestones/what's going on inside:  Baby's sensory development is exploding! The brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch.
I have yet another crappy cell phone pic for you, I really need to start taking better pictures!
