Week 19

December 14th, 2013

How far along:
19 weeks

Baby is the size of a:
Mango

Total weight gain:
Still haven’t weighed myself, because our scale broke. I will find out at our appointment next week!

Maternity Clothes?
Nothing new.

Stretch Marks?
Not yet.

Sleep?
Still pretty good. I’m having weird dreams though!

Best moment of the Week:
Our friends gave us the exact bedding we wanted for the nursery, which was way out of our budget. They bought it for one of their sons who never slept in his crib, so it’s basically brand new! So sweet of them!
We also set a date for our baby shower and picked out some invitations…it’s crazy how fast this time is flying by! And even more crazy that we’ll have a baby shower…I never thought we would get there!

Movement:
I’ve been feeling all kinds of weird things in there, but I can’t tell if it’s the baby or not, so for now, I’m still waiting!

Food Cravings:
None.

Belly Button in or out:
In.

Gender:
Sweet baby boy!

Symptoms:
Same old, same old.

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?
Thankfully not. Those first four months were horrible and I’m so glad I feel better now.

Have you Started to Show yet?
Katie keeps commenting how huge my stomach is compared to how it used to be, but I still feel like it’s tiny, considering that I’m almost half way through this pregnancy.

What I miss:
My clear skin. And lunch meat.

What I'm looking forward to:
Getting the nursery ready and christmas!

What I'm not looking forward to:
The holidays being over so soon…this year went fast!

Weekly Wisdom:
Setting up a baby registry is a pain in the butt. It seems like there are a million and one things we need to research before making a decision.


Wie weit:
19 Wochen

Baby ist so gross wie eine:
Mango

Insgesamte Gewichtszunahme:
Ich konnte mich nicht wiegen, weil unsere Waage kaputt ist, aber wir werden es bei unserem Arzttermin naechste Woche heraus finden.

Umstandskleidung?
Nichts Neues.

Schwangerschaftsstreifen?
Noch nicht!

Schlaf?
Immer noch ziemlich gut. Ich habe allerdings sehr seltsame Traeume.

Bester Moment der Woche:
Unsere Freunde haben uns genau die Bettwaeche fuers Baby geschenkt, die wir haben wollten, allerdings war sie fuer uns viel zu teuer. Sie hatten sie fuer ihren Sohn gekauft, der allerdings nie in seinem Babybett geschlafen hat, von daher ist sie so gut wie neu! So lieb von ihnen!
Wir haben ausserdem einen Termin fuer unsere Babyshower festgesetzt und uns Einladungen dafuer ausgesucht…es ist verrueckt, wie schnell die Zeit vergeht! Es ist noch verrueckter, dass wir in ein paar Monate eine Babyshower haben werden, ich haette nie gedacht, dass wir irgendwann einmal eine haben wuerden!

Bewegungen des Babys:
Ich fuehle alle moeglichen komischen Dinge in meinem Bauch, aber ich habe keine Ahnung ob es das Baby ist oder nicht, von daher bin ich noch am warten! 

HeiĂźhunger:
Nein.

Bauchnabel drinnen oder draussen:
Drinnen.

Geschlecht:
Ein Junge!

Symptome:
Genau wie letzte Woche.

Gibt es etwas, wovon dir schlecht wird?
Zum Glueck nicht! Die ersten vier Monate waren schrecklich und ich bin so froh, dass es mir nun besser geht!

Kann man dir die Schwangerschaft ansehen?
Katie sagt mir staendig, wie gross mein Bauch im Vergleich zu frueher ist, aber ich habe immer noch das Gefuehl, dass er ziemlich klein ist, wenn man bedenkt, dass ich schon fast die Haelfte der Schwangerschaft hinter mir habe.

Was ich vermisse:
Meine reine Haut. Und Wurst!

Worauf ich mich freue:
Das Kinderzimmer einzurichten und auf Weihnachten!  

Worauf ich mich nicht freue:
Dass die Weihnachtszeit bald wieder vorbei ist…dieses Jahr ging es ruck zuck!

Wöchentliche Weisheit:
Eine Baby Registry zu erstellen ist eine Menge Arbeit! Es sieht so aus, als braeuchten wir eine Millionen Dinge, die aber vorher erst noch im Internet nach Bewertungen gecheckt werden muessen!

  1. Wow, I feel like a failure as I didn't know about the lunch meats. I was given a list of foods to avoid at my 8 week midwife appointment but lunch meats weren't on it. I couldn't eat them during the first trimester anyway but now I have a turkey or salami sandwich every day for my lunch.

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha.  Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night.  Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha.
