19 Weeks!


How Far Along: 19 weeks!

Size of baby: The babies are about the size of an heirloom tomato, are 6 inches long, and weigh about 8.5 ounces.  We’ll find out tomorrow how accurate these estimations are!

Maternity Clothes: I am getting bigger and bigger each week and am starting to think that I am going to have to buy some more clothes very soon. I’m trying to get by with what I have, but I need more tops because my regular shirts aren’t really cutting it anymore!

Sleep:  I’m starting to have some trouble in this department, and I’m not too happy about it!  First off, my back pain is not getting any better so I have a difficult time getting to sleep. Then, I keep waking up because I’m so uncomfortable and can’t always fall back to sleep right away. I guess this is the baby’s way of preparing me for the long, sleepless nights to come.

Best Moment of the Week: Finding out that my baby shower invitations went out! I can’t believe this is real…I’m really going to have a baby shower! J

Movement: Still nothing…I’m patiently waiting for this special moment. I’ve tried pushing on my stomach, listening with the stethoscope, laying still, moving around a lot, and so many things, and yet I still feel NO movement. What’s going on in there?????

Symptoms:  Well, I definitely cannot be on the show I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant.  One look at me and there is no denying I am pregnant!  But other than that and the horrible back pain, I really don’t have any other symptoms.  I’m slowing down, that’s for sure, but I don’t have any nausea, I’m not exhausted, and my body hasn’t changed (again, except for the biggggg belly). 

Food cravings: I think I should just delete this line. Still none.

What I Miss: Being able to drive home without withering in pain. 

What I'm Looking Forward To: Without a doubt, my doctor appointment tomorrow afternoon. I can’t wait to see my babies again and hear their heartbeats. Plus, it’s my long scan, so I’ll be very reassured after tomorrow that everything will be fine.

Milestones: Making it to 19 weeks! Only 5 more weeks until VIABILITY! I am sooooo close!

Emotions:  Excited for tomorrow!

  4. I know it sounds terrible - but please keep them in longer than 25 weeks!! Aim for 28 weeks! The long term effects are far reduced in those three weeks! Give yourself until 28 weeks (I know, it's 3 more weeks), but sooo much better for the babies. Keep repeating that in your head, that way your body will listen. But I know what you mean, it is getting so close to my first goal - 28 weeks :)Oh, and your bump is gorgeous!
