18 and 19 and 20 Week Update


*This week the baby is:   10.5-12.3 oz (for 20 weeks)
*How far along:  19w5d
*Due Date: September 24th, 2013
*Total Weight gain/loss:   I don't know I haven't weighed myself in a couple of weeks.  Too scared.  Trying still to gain slower.
*Maternity Clothes:  About a week ago I found some clothes at Suzy Sheir (3 tops) and a skirt at Urban Planet that work as maternity so that was nice and cheaper too.  Yesterday I bought two pairs of maternity shorts at Motherhood and also a dressy tank top and then a casual pink one.  I had tears in my eyes in the change room because I felt so big and not in a cute pregnant way.  Thankfully my husband was there and made me feel a bit better about things.  I sure love him.  Today I picked up some clothes from Thyme that I got on sale.  I had two coupons for 50 dollars off a 100 dollar sale.  So I bought a grey tank top and a white one (the same style) and I got blue cargo capris and white cotton capris and then a lilac colour tank as well.  Oh yes, I got a maxi sundress and a BATHING SUIT at Swimco.  So that's a relief that I found something for swimming that offers enough coverage.  I hope it stretches to accomadate until the summer is over 
Sleep:  Having trouble sleeping once I wake up in the morning for the past week and a half.  Ugh which means not enough sleep.  I'm quite tired as we speak.
*Best moment this week:  The best moment was at 18w3 days when I felt the baby with my hand for the first time and then the next day I actually got to see the baby tapping on the outside.  On the left side just above my belly button.  Cool!  I haven't seen my belly move since though.  Then just at 19w4d in the wee hours of the morning J felt the baby for the first time a bunch of times!
*Movement?  Yes, see above!  I feel baby consistently throughout the day since  probably about 17 weeks.  
*Food Cravings:  No cravings that I can think of.
*Symptoms:  Still getting sick feeling every day for part of the day.  It's manageable but annoying.  I stopped using my Diclectin cause my prescription ran out about a week ago.  I wish I still had it but I'm doing ok.
 Gender:  Yup it's a boy or girl!
*Labor Signs: No but my stomach often tightens up for a few seconds at a time.  I think it's BH but could it be the baby flipping around?  I don't like the feeling.  It doesn't hurt at all but it kinda makes me feel a bit nauseous.
*Belly Button in or out:  Still in, I have a very deep belly button.  
*Feeling toward Pregnancy:  Pregnancy is ok.  I don't love it, don't hate it.  It's a means to and end.
*What I miss:  Sleeping properly!  These days I wake up in the morning and whatever time that is, usually I can't return to sleep which means that I almost always don't get enough sleep anymore.  That started about a week and a half ago getting crappy sleeps.  I miss being able to wear cute non-preggo summer clothes that suit my style better.
*What I'm looking forward to:  Being done renovations and putting the house on the market.  Hopefully very very soon.  Being done work!!  About 7 more weeks to go.
*Milestones:  Feeling baby move with my hand and JJ too and seeing my belly move.  Also at 18w3d I had the first (and still only) person comment on my pregnancy that didn't know me.  A lady at Safeway.  She was very talkative and was very excited for me.  
*Any new stretchmarks: My boob's stretch marks from before are darkening still on the side.  I started getting these tiny spider vains on the right side of my belly.  I can handle that over stretch marks any day which I really hope don't come.  
 *Things We Have Gotten:   Well I got a free onesie from Thyme with my purchase today.  We picked up our crib about 2 weeks ago from Babies R' Us.  The box is HUGE.
