I don't know how I am going to do this, not being the writer or journal keeping kind of person. But here is a shot at the Chapin Blog!
How far along: 19 Weeks and 3 days
Total weight gain/loss:I have gained 10 poounds...eeks! I was doing really good in the begining but here comes the extra fluff!
Maternity clothes? Most of my shirts are getting too short...Still wearing sweaters since it is only May so those fit, but maternity jeans are a must!
Sleep: Really well! No more emergency runs to the potty. Loving the big snoogle pillow. Kinda funny when I find Ned all curled up on it in the morning!
Best moment this week:
Movement: Not feeling any yet...everyone keeps telling me that it will be so.
Food cravings: Loving all the fruits and berries at Costco! Also, bought the JUMBO jar of deli
dill pickles....Ned and I eat them like they are going out of style! Artichokes with lemon butter! Okay now I am getting hungry!
Gender: We are not going to find out. But I think it is a boy and Ned thinks it is a girl! Talk about tough at the ultrasound this week.
Labor Signs: Lets hope not.
Belly Button in or out: still in and it won't come out (let's hope)!
What I miss: Red Wine!
What I'm looking forward to: Many things....right now...the appointment on the 12th and Washington DC to see Kelsey.
Weekly Wisdom: I am just not worrying about all the things that are out of my control and letting nature take it's course. Preparing with knowledge.
Milestones: We picked out the paint colors for the nursery and are painting this weekend. Still getting lots of pointers from close friends that have been through it (Ashle, Joy, and Aree).
