BUMP ATTACK! 19 weeks!

8.18.12

It has been a great past couple of weeks. Not to mention the fact that we had a week long family vacation in Hilton Head Island. But pregnancy wise? I have been feeling very good. The nausea, I am happy to say, is finally long gone. I feel like myself again. I can eat food like a normal human being. The only thing that is very different from my last pregnancy is that I actually feel pregnant. What does this mean? Well I notice my belly. I can feel my belly. I feel different in that aspect.

I have felt the baby move on a couple of occasions. I am actually pretty surprised that 1, I didn't feel the baby move sooner, and 2 that it's not as prominent. I feel like with Elliana I felt her early on and consistently every day. But the difference with her and baby boy is that I never felt any pains, didn't feel quite pregnant, and just felt little flutters and movements. Baby boy.... I feel him in there. I just don't feel the movements just yet. I do think he has jabbed me in my pelvis there quite a few times there. That may explain the pains.

We found out the sex of the baby on Monday! A baby boy! I have a post to come on this day... and there are some details that I would like to share, but it was a very exciting day for us to say the least. I have known for a couple of months that it was a boy. You know, the mama instinct type know. Andrew actually thought it was a girl. But he hadn't told me this until after the ultrasound tech had announced that it was in fact a boy. I think he was convinced that he was going to have all girls. He makes a pretty good girl papa, if I do say so myself.

Speaking of baby boy, the next question we get after people find out the gender is if we have a name picked out. The answer is? No. We don't. Not even close. Not at all. Not even a list of 1. Or two. Or 10. Nothing. We are in struggle mode, and I have a feeling it will be a long time until we decide on something that we both don't want to rip our hair out at the sound of.

Some details for this week:

Weight gain: Total 7lbs up.

Maternity clothes: None

Baby's weight at U/S: 10 ounces

Heart Rate: 153

B/P and Urine looked great.

And I had to share all of these pictures from our little photo shoot for many reasons. One, I have to make up for the lost weeks of bump pictures. Two, Elliana kept saying "pichtas, pichtas, pichtas" when she saw the camera stand. And lastly, because she was obsessed with mama's necklace. So much so that she stole it from me. And? The most adorable little toddler with the cutest necklace ever.

I can't believe we will be halfway through the pregnancy in just a couple of days!!!
