19 week update



19 wks and getting bigger

How far along? 19 Weeks 
Total weight gain: 11lbs.  (Pre-pregnancy weight 136lbs, lost 3 lbs.) I gained 8 lbs this month thanks to Ensure. Those elderly people sure know how to get their calories in,
Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes all the way! Old Navy leggings are my best friend. Don’t be surprised if you come to visit me and that’s what I have on.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: Still tired most of the time. I usually go to bed around 8:00pm if I can keep my eyes open that long. I will wake up a few times a night usually around 1or 2am. Sometimes I go back to sleep and toss and turn, other nights I’m up until 5 or 6. Insomnia stinks!
Best moment this week: Getting to see my sweet babies at my appt. I can’t believe how big they are getting. They were both just moving like crazy. My Dr. also measured me to see how big I would be if I were just having a singleton, 27 wks people! I don’t feel like I look that big yet, but I know its coming.
I also purchased their stroller. It is everything I hoped it would be and more. It even fits in my tiny trunk!
Miss Anything?  I still don’t have much of an appetite.
Movement: I can feel them wiggling all over. It’s such a weird feeling. I can’t wait for Adam to be able to feel them.
Food cravings: I’m still don’t have much of an appetite.  Right now I am into milk. There’s nothing better than a bowl of cereal with milk at 2 am.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Meat of any kind is still a little iffy. I find that if I cook something, I have a hard time eating it
Gender: It looks like we are having one of each. I am beyond excited!
Labor Signs: Nope.
Symptoms: Most of my symptoms have finally resolved. I do get some cramping if I overdo it, I’m sure this is only going to get worse.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: I would say I’m happy most of the time. I do get grouchy if I am tired or hungry though.
Looking forward to: Having my official ultrasound next week. I can’t wait to see how big they have grown.
This is what the babies and I dressed up as for Halloween
