19 weeks in. This is what is happening with My Little Loodle:
Baby is at about 6.0 inches long and weighing in at about 8.5 ounces! The baby is developing a protective coating over the skin, called vernix caseosa. It's greasy and white. Baby is working on their five senses. Nerve cells for their sense of taste, hearing, sight and smell are developing in their brain.
My Symptoms: I'm experiencing some aches and pains in my abdomen because of the stretching, I'm a lot more hungry, and I have experienced a lot more back aches.
Maternity clothes? Oh yes!! Jeans suck for now.
Sleep? I sleep a lot.. I even have time for naps this month because I'm not working until January. It's difficult going back to sleep at night after waking up, but I have time for that which makes me even more relaxed.
Best moment last week? Every day this week I've been able to be home cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, and being a stay-at-home wife. These past few days have been the best this week!
Movement? I feel baby basically every time I'm lying down or sitting.
Weight Gain: For all I know, I am gaining a little bit each week. Last time I checked, I was 145 lbs.
Cravings: I've taken a fancy to chocolate milk. Milk with hershey's chocolate syrup mixed in. Love this stuff!
Food Aversions: Tomato soup, cilantro, spicy things, and I'm starting to not be a fan of spaghetti.
What made me cry this week: I don't know if I did cry this week...?
Medical Stuff: Since we are switching insurance providers, we won't be getting an ultrasound until January... which means we won't find out the sex until I am about 24 weeks. I have a check-up next Monday, though, so we will see that the baby is healthy and strong :D
Something I am excited about: Christmas!!! I'm probably annoying everyone in my family because I am so so so excited to be going home to all the decorations and to my family.
