19 weeks!

How far along? 19 weeks! yay!!!

Baby Size: about the size of a large heirloom tomato.

Weight: Yay! I'm up 2.4 pounds!! LOL never thought I'd be happy about gaining but this is good.

Craving: Nope! still nothing! I guess that means I'm getting everything I need? Who knows...

Movement: Much. :-) I feel the little one almost every day now. Sometimes on the outside. The other night I made Gabe sit and wait to see if he could feel it... He said "I think I did." LOL awe. I think it will be really strong soon :) I can also feel when he shifts positions. Sometimes it feels like he's using my bladder as a pillow.

Milestones: We have picked names. but I'm keeping them a secret. :-) maybe I'll post the name next week as a way to announce the gender? I'll give you a hint though... Girl's initials will be K.M.Z and Boy's initials will be S.G.Z. hehe... you'll never guess though, they're not really common. If you already have heard rumors, please don't spill the beans!!! :-)

Overall, this week was pretty uneventful. I'll take it though. I'd rather it be that way and relaxed than worry.

UGH!! I'm watching the news as I'm writing and they listed under "sea pests to look out for: SHARKS" seriously??? Sharks??? Sea PESTS? (sorry, If you know me even slightly well, I'm terrified of sharks, and would never consider them just pests......)

Ok, Belly Photos...

Shameful isn't it? that's actually a really scary top view photo, but it's what I see. I'm so not embarassed or worried about my appearance right now. I'm thrilled to be getting bigger (weird, I know.) but it just means baby is getting bigger!! I want a nice HEALTHY big baby in September. ;-) I'm workin' on it.

How do you like my belly band? :-) I love it! it's so comfortable. all my pants still fit everywhere else I just unzip and cover with the band and presto! makeshift preggo pants. :)
