19 Weeks (a day early)

I'm not 19 weeks until tomorrow, but tomorrow is a big day and I want to make a fairly "normal" 19 week update.  We'll know a lot more tomorrow than we know today, and that could be either good or bad - and I'd like to at least do one more weekly update in a way that won't be impacted by whatever we learn tomorrow.

So 19 weeks.  Really darn close to half way done.  Our fruit this week is mango.  LOL.  Whatever.  When we were talking about blueberries and limes I sort of had an idea.  Now we go from onion to sweet potato to mango and in my mind, those aren't really a logical growth progression.  Anyway.  Baby should be about 6 inches long.  I'm definitely feeling him/her move a lot more now.  Still not big obvious movements, but if I'm quiet and I pay attention, it's happening a lot more frequently.  Fetal movement is a wonderful WONDERFUL thing.

I've gained 4 pounds since my last freak out about weight, so in total I'm up 7.  Not bad at all.  (But don't expect these weight updates to continue when I inevitably blow up and gain 20 pounds in a week.)  And my stomach, while still not protruding too much, is starting to fill out and get a bit rounder.  When I'm lazy and slouching, I actually think I look almost pregnant and not just fat.  When I stand up straight (like I do for my pictures), there still isn't much there, but at least I can see some growth since 17 weeks.

I think that's it for today.  I'm just trying to find a way to pass the time until 1:30pm tomorrow.  It's going to be a long and difficult couple of days.
