June 22, 2014 - 19 Weeks

Maybe soon I'll actually post on the actual date (taken 6/22).

 

19 Weeks.  That means Friday is the ultra sound!  And so crazy to think that it's probably the last time we'll see baby until his/her birthday if everything goes normal.  We did have one extra ultra sound with Zoe, because the doctor was worried she was too small at one of our appointments - turned out she was right on track.  But we didn't complain about that extra sneak peak :)

I don't feel like I've grown too much from last week.  I'm sporting 100% maternity clothes now (except my scrub clothes - my t-shirts and gym shorts still fit).  I've started having Zoe point to my belly and say "baby" which she does willingly.  And it usually turns into her lifting my shirt and trying to poke my belly button because that's one of her favorite games :)

This girl loves to say "seese (cheese)!"  Thankfully it gets her to smile on queue.

Still craving all that is salt - McDonalds in particular.  Luckily, I don't indulge in that craving too often.  This week was horrible for working out, so I need to keep the fast food to a minimum.

Our anniversary was on Saturday!  6 years!  My mom made the trip over so that we could go out to dinner and not have to eat at super speeds to make sure we avoided an antsy toddler.  Mom and I also made the treck to IKEA to get what we both needed.  Check a few more things off this to do list.  And another visit to the splash park. This girl loves water!

No huge worries this week.  I did have some VERY minor spotting on Wednesday.  I had to travel to Chicago for work.  It was a LONG day.  Our flight left at 7:45 am and because of weather, we got stuck in Chicago.  We tried to get a rental, no luck - sold out.  We tried flights out of O'Hare - all cancelled as well.  So, we went back to the city and stayed the night.  Too bad it was already 10pm or we could have enjoyed some of it.  We got up the next day and headed back to the airport and thankfully left right on time.  Not fun traveling with no change of clothes though.  Oh well.  We survived!

Apparently with Zoe at this time, I had horrible hip pain while sleeping which I haven't experienced yet at all this time around.  I do miss non-side sleeping positions.  Similar symptom with Zoe - gagging.  I feel like my teeth must be rotting.  And I had a horrible time on our way to Chicago.  That is the closest I've ever come to puking on a plain.  We had out big ultra sound with Zoe at 19 weeks so this time around we have to wait one more week.

Movement is pretty consistent each day.  Not all day but at least a few times a day.  Which is always nice especially after the spotting.

Still hanging in there and just trying to enjoy the summer!  Things are going so fast!
