Waiting For a Bump: Un-Bump Pictures
I thought I would be one of those pregnant people who took a cute belly picture every week. In two days, I'll be 19 weeks pregnant (almost halfway!) and am still waiting for a bump to happen. I can tell that I look different, my jeans fit tighter, and I feel funny laying on my stomach. However, I mostly just look like I'm putting on weight. So great.

Feeling: Good! I'm sleeping well, feel like I have my normal energy back, and haven't been nauseous since about week 14. If I don't eat right away in the morning, I get light headed and tingly very easily. I'm not a headache person, but weeks 14-15 I had some pretty miserable ones. I tried drinking more, eating more, and sleeping more, but the best thing was caffeine. My doctor told me reasonable amounts of coffee are fine, as long as I am not drinking espresso. I haven't felt the baby move yet.
Craving: Orange juice, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob (with lots of salt and pepper), unsweetened iced coffee. I really haven't been hungry for sweet things -- Jon eats ice cream without me, and the other day he brought home a cookie from work for me and I didn't want it. Also, there are 7 Hershey bars in the pantry for s'mores which are strangely uneaten.
Boy or Girl?: Our ultrasound is scheduled for June 11, and we're hoping to find out then! I don't have "a feeling" either way. Jon is reallllllly hoping for a boy because, his words, "I don't know anything about girls."
Shopping: I'm working on a baby registry on Amazon, but have been avoiding any more baby shopping. So far I have a few boring things like baby hangers and a boppy (no cover), and a some more fun things including a couple outfits and a nursery chair.

Cute pictures regardless of bump size! I felt like I was showing at about 9 weeks this time but maybe that is a 3rd kid thing, it took longer with the others.
ReplyDeleteI will be sure to meal plan some mashed potatoes etc. when you come to visit. Yum.
P.S. I am not in labor.
ReplyDeleteReally nice post & pics. Count it a blessing that you don't crave sweets/chocolate or you might have to move the decimal point over to the right more than you'd like (from .4 to 40.). Glad you're feeling better. We're looking forward to seeing you in person in a few weeks! -Mom
