19 Weeks

How far along? 19 weeks
 
Total weight gain: 5 lbs so far.  I need to quit eating those Oreo's! :-)

Maternity clothes?:  Finally purchased some maternity clothes and they are SO COMFORTABLE!  still wearing my dresses and comfy clothes, but now I have the clothes if I need to wear them.  I don't think I can fit into my jeans anymore, unless i use the Bella Band.

Sleep: Sleeping fine, just getting sick (already) of sleeping on my left & right sides.  Is it really that bad this early on to sleep on your back?

Cravings:  Just food in general.  Hence the 1/2 lb gain in a week!

Best moment this week: Hubby telling me he's really excited!

Movement: Maybe a little, still hard to tell.

Gender: You're guess is as good as ours! August 2nd cannot come soon enough! Don't forget to vote in the poll!

Labor Signs: No and stay away until December!

Belly Button in or out? In and I hope it stays in

What I miss: Having more energy, but still get kind of tired pretty early around 8:30-9:00

Weekly Wisdom: Take pictures, it's so fun to see the changes from week to week!

Milestones: None this week really, but 20 weeks will be pretty neat because we're 1/2 way there!

Favorite Moments: Belly getting a little bigger and starting to look like a baby bump!

Cute! I say around 27 weeks you get nice and round and definitely baby-bumpish...thats my guess. :) And..gender...? I'm thinking....boy...but I'm also thinking...girl. So I suck. I cannot guess.

I remember thinking how comfy my maternity clothes were when I bought them. Now they are starting to dig in to my hips and belly a little bit :)

Also, about sleeping on your back - it was a question I had too. My midwife told me not to worry about it, to just sleep however is comfortable. She said that it's very very very uncommon that the weight from your uterus would reduce circulation to the baby, and even if it did, you would feel uncomfortable long before it ever did anything to your baby. She said that I would likely just roll over and adjust myself in my sleep.

I remember being so excited for maturnity clothes then by 9 months your ready for your old jeans. Now a year later I am ready for maturnity clothes again :)

As far as sleeping on your back...do what ever is comfortable...your body will let you know if you shouldn't be on your back. It is really more when you are bigger!

I added my email :)

I asked my doctor about sleeping on my back and she said you really don't have to worry about it until at least 24 weeks. Now that I've crossed that point, I still sleep on my back a little, and I just move when I get uncomfortable.

You're looking great!
