19 Weeks

Best moment this week:  Shopping at the maternity store.  I had a great experience with the friendly sales associate and found some cute dresses and some jeans.    

Sleep:  Getting better at staying on my side at night and putting a pillow between my knees helps too. 

Movement:  Random thumps and thuds.   

Food cravings:  Nothing on a consistent basis but my most recent craving was for a Krispy Kreme doughnut...which I didn't get but it's probably only a matter of time before I cave.  My normal portions aren't enough anymore, I've been eating like a horse!    

Gender:  Unknown

What I miss:  Not being able to sit still very long.  I'm quite restless these days. 

What I am looking forward to:  My next appointment with the midwife; it's time for the anatomy scan ultrasound.  I'm really excited to see the baby's progress.

Milestones:  Vernix caseosa is beginning to coat baby's skin.  This coating helps regulate baby's body temperature and helps protect baby's skin while submerged in amniotic fluid.    

Baby Size:  heirloom tomato

Weekly Wisdom:  Don't feel guilty when you start to sleep more than normal....you and baby need it!
