19 weeks and Baby is as long as a pickling cucumber! He/she is about 6″ long now and weighs about 7 ounces.
How far along: 19 weeks
Gender: No idea, and people seem to be split about 50/50 on their predictions for me. I did have a lady tell me I am definitely having a girl and that she is always right. We’ll see!
Weight gain: 3 lbs
Symptoms: Back pain, occasional headaches, fatigue, and random nausea. And one episode of vomiting again. 😦 I think my prenatal vitamin hit the back of my throat when I was swallowing it, and as much as I tried NOT to get sick, it happened anyway.

Maternity clothes: Yep!
Stretch marks: No
Belly button in or out: in
Sleep: Not too bad
Best moments this week: Being told I looked really good in the jeans I was wearing 🙂 It turns out you get what you pay for, even with maternity clothes! My other best moment was finding a doula that we like. We were on the fence about having one, but after doing the Doula Speed Dating event on base, we found someone we really like. We’re excited to go through the rest of our pregnancy with her guidance, and it really took some of my anxiety away regarding labor & delivery.
Miss anything: My clothes. I wear jeans and a t-shirt everyday to work, but on the weekends when I actually want to look cute? I have no idea what to wear, and everything I try on doesn’t look right. I’ve been pretty frustrated. Back to online shopping…
Movement: Once in awhile. I usually notice it in the early afternoon when I’m sitting down. It probably happens more, but I’m pretty preoccupied at work!
Cravings: Hummus or guacamole with tortilla chips, Dr Pepper, blue Gatorade, cheese sticks with Wheat Thins
Looking forward to: our next ultrasound (9th of July)
