19 weeks

How far along: 19 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: + 7 pounds

Sleep: Going really good. I can sometimes feel the baby moving around right when I’m getting ready to go to bed, but it doesn’t last too long.

Best moments: Had a GREAT weekend in Colorado with the girls! Myself and 6 other girls from Rolla met in Breckenridge, CO Friday through Monday. You may have heard that there was a blizzard in CO last Friday! So, of course we had a few hic-cups getting out there (3 cancelled flights and driving in some snowy conditions), but we made it up there late Friday night! I didn’t have one issue with the altitude and pregnancy combo! It was so great to see the girls and show them the baby bump and get to talk to them about baby Chung! Some of the girls I may not even see until after baby comes, so it was sad/strange saying goodbye knowing how different things will be the next time we are together.

We also had a long Skype talk with one of our missing Rolla girls who just had her little boy a couple weeks ago! It was so great to see her and her son and to talk about the baby and all about the labor!

Movement: Definitely feeling the little guy on pretty much a daily basis! I’ve felt lots of movements and just a couple kicks so far.

Symptoms: Nothing!

Maternity clothes: Maternity jeans and stretchy pants were my uniform all weekend! To work I’m still wearing a couple pairs of pants that were a little big before the pregnancy.

Food cravings: Nope.

Food aversions: Nope.What I'm eating: Turkey sandwiches, oranges, grilled cheese & soup, Mexican, stuffed shells, salad, veggie pizza, milk, cereal, OJ, juice!

Exercise: Not so great the last week, but we did do some walking around Breckenridge this weekend. And any uphill walking was like 3 times more difficult up in the higher altitude! LOL!

Gender: They are 99.9% sure, BOY!

What I miss: Being able to go longer than a couple hours without getting hungry! Haha!

What I am looking forward to: Last weekend Steve was an awesome dad and primed the baby room. This weekend, we hope to continue working on the room and hopefully get more accomplished! I’m also looking forward to just being able to sleep in late in my own bed!

Milestones: Feeling him move around is a pretty big change for me. The first day I felt it I thought I was sick or something! Then it just continued every day, so I know that it is just him moving around. He seems very active, so I guess that is good! And it just makes it seem that much more real!
