baby #3: 19 weeks

_MG_2357Baby’s size: 6 inches long (CRL), weighing about 8.5 ounces. This is the same size as a zucchini, a hedgehog, or an old-school Gameboy!
Maternity clothes?:
No, but I’ve moved on to using the hair-tie trick for keeping my jeans buttoned… Thankfully, it’s warming up, which means I can wear my shorts!
Gender:
Only a few more days until we see for sure… Oh the anticipation!
Symptoms:
I’ve just been feeling a bit sick this week without any concrete reason as to why. I know I had a sinus infection and some allergies at the start of the week, but otherwise I’m just feeling wiped out.
Sleep:
Generally good, just never enough hours! But that’s nothing new. 🙂
Movement:
I can feel baby squirming in there just about every day… especially when I’m lying down. We had a few big kicks this week again, but they’re still somewhat rare.
Cravings:
Nutella… nutella… and nutella.
What I miss:
Nothing really.
Anything making you queasy or sick?:
 Nausea has come back in these past couple of days… and I hope it’s not here to stay. I feel nauseous before I eat, after I eat… it doesn’t seem to matter. The same old things are turning my stomach (Greek yogurt, Goldfish crackers, and Italian dressing).
Belly Button in or out?: In.
Exercising?: About 20 miles of running total. I’m really starting to feel that little basketball I’m carrying around when I’m running now… and baby loves to sit right on my bladder, so no matter how many times I use the bathroom before I leave, I always feel like I need to go again before I even hit half a mile. Crazy!
Mood: Crying happy tears at everything… Tim McGraw songs, Kaya asking me for a kiss before I left for Young Women’s this week, and just realizing how fast my babies are growing up have all cued the water works.
Best moment this week: Spending time playing outside with my kids and soaking in the sunshine!
Looking forward to: Our ultrasound next week!
Comparison: 19 weeks with Kaya; 19 weeks with Kaelyn
