How far along: 19 weeks.
Size of baby: Mango (7 ounces).
Must have items:
- Forever 21 Slippers. I just bought these because I am cold all the time in my house, but I have actually worn them out of the house too because they are so cozy and I never want to take them off!
- Palmers Tummy Butter. I have been using this since the beginning of my second trimester in hopes of no stretch marks!
Sleep: Most the time I sleep through the night. There are a few nights where I wake up uncomfortable and/or sore.
Cravings: Einsteins bagels! There is an Einsteins next to my house and I wish there wasn’t because it’s too easy to just stop and get a bagel…like everyday….oops!
Baby movement: Can’t feel anything yet, but both my doctor and the ultrasound technician said our baby was extremely active and constantly moving so hopefully I will feel something soon!
Gender: It’s a BOY! (see gender reveal announcement HERE)
Challenges this week: Dealing with the COLD Utah weather. This past week the temperature has really dropped and I am reminded why I just want to live in Hawaii! Is that so much to ask?!?! I hate getting in my cold car, waiting for the heater to warm up, putting my hands on the cold steering wheel, and then just when my car has warmed up, I arrive at my destination….only to walk in the bitter cold until I get inside where I am going. I may sound like I’m complaining, but that’s because I am. Yesterday we hit a low of 29 degrees and I’m sorry but that is just too cold for me. And it’s just the beginning of winter!
Best moment this week: Being told during the ultrasound that we have a healthy baby boy. I am definitely counting my blessings!
