19 Weeks!

Today starts Pregnancy-Week 19.
I can't believe it's going by this fast. Right now it is at least. I am sure the bigger I get and the closer we get to my due date the slower things will seem. I am trying not to rush through this and take time to enjoy the pregnancy, but it is really hard. I am so excited about meeting our little guy and my 12 weeks at home with him.

Our little guy's stats:
This week he is the size of a mango. (But a whole lot sweeter!) He is probably weighing in at about 8.5 oz. Last week at our ultrasound he was estimated at 7 oz. which is a little bigger than Baby Center was predicting. But he is right on track.

How I am feeling:
I am still tired most of the time but not as much as in my first trimester. I am actually staying up until dark these days. That's an improvement! Even though I am taking Zantac for the heartburn and indigestion that set in during the 1st trimester, I am starting to have issues with this again. I need to lay off the tomatoes and hot stuff. But it seems like that's about all I want these days.

Movement:
I am feeling him move around a little bit but haven't felt any kicks or jabs just yet. He doesn't move around a lot during the day but gets pretty active at night. That will def. have to change once he is born! Right about the time that the heartburn starts up he starts to do flips. You know the feeling you get on a roller coaster when you suddenly drop from way up high? Your stomach turns. That's what it feels like. Some nights he is more active than others. I get pretty nauseous when he is really active.

To do's:
We haven't really accomplished anything from last week's list. This has been William's week on call and it has been pretty hectic.
I did get Season 4 of Weeds though!! Itunes was having a sale on it this past weekend so William went ahead and got it for me. I have only watched one episode so far but we have a 3 day weekend coming up so I am sure I will go through most of the season then!
I have added one thing to our to do's. I am planning to call the education dept. at the hospital today to see if they offer childbirth and newborn care classes. I hope I haven't waited to long to be able to get us in. I was reading that you should sign up for these while in your 1st trimester because they fill up quickly.
My goal this weekend is to finally get the crib. I have been putting it off for long enough now. I have been looking at crib bedding for a few weeks and still haven't come across anything that I love that will go with the furniture and carpet. It's becoming very frustrating. Hopefully this weekend I will have a chance to go and do some looking around to get some ideas.
