Week 19

How far along: 19 Weeks

Weeks to due date: 21 Weeks

Total weight gain: 8 pounds.

Maternity clothes:  Oh yes.  Motherhood is my new favorite store.  I haven’t had much luck at Target… only a brief and tiny meltdown when I couldn’t find anything.  Andy just hugged me and said “remember… you’re not fat, you’re pregnant”.  It was actually kind of funny and it made me feel better!     

Sleep:  I have been sleeping very well!   

  

Best moment this week:  We went to Madison to visit my family for a few days.  It was soooo great to spend time with them! I also got to have coffee with my best friend Amanda!  I Love our chats! 

What I miss: Some of my old clothes.  But I really like my new clothes!    

Movement: Lots of movement!  Almost every morning when I am eating my breakfast the baby moves around a bunch.  It’s like…. Hey mom! I’m here for breakfast!  

Food cravings: Still fruity stuff.  Grape juice and grape popsicles are the best! 

Making me queasy:  Honestly…. My pregnancy farts can be a little shocking! 

Starting to show:  Oh yes!        

Gender: We will find out in 21 weeks! 

Happy or moody:  Oh so happy! 

Things I've been experiencing this week:  I have been pretty clumsy the last few days.  Not sure what that’s all about.  I just lose my balance really easily sometimes.  No falls, just moments where I look pretty ridiculous.    

   

What I'm looking forward to:  I have been super excited for the summer to start and for our summer staff to get here.  This season is always really busy but it is so amazing to see what God does in the lives of the staff and the campers that come.  It is a true blessing to be working in ministry and to serve alongside my husband in this season.  We sacrifice a lot of free time and energy but it is well worth it so that God can move in mighty ways! 

Size of baby:  A mango
