18 & 19 week comparable

 

19 weeks!

How far along: 19 weeks

How big is baby:   Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and he measures 6 inches, head to bottom about the size of a large heirloom tomato.  (Although 5 days ago he was already weighing 10 oz!)

 

Sleep:  Can't get enough!

 

Movement:   Feeling movement more often, but DH still hasn't felt anything.

 

Food cravings:  Food in general!

 

Food adversions: None

 

Gender: It's a BOY!!

 

Symptoms:  just fatigue and soreness

 

What do I miss:   sleeping on my stomach

 

 

Best moment of the week:    The u/s where we found out we were having another little boy.  The u/s tech had us guess what it was.  I said girl and DH & DS said boy!  They were right!

 

What I'm looking forward to: Feeling stronger movement/kicks

 

Milestones:  1 more week until half-baked.

 

 

Maternity clothes: I finally switched to maternity jeans although they are still large.

Weight gain: +3 lbs (up 2lbs from last week)

Still can't believe it's a boy!

I think this thought at least 100 times/day.  I am sooooo excited, I just haven't considered this baby a boy...ever!  It will take a couple days, but I will definately get used to it.  Once we have a name, I think that will help too.  I can't wipe this smile off my face!!



IT'S A.....

BOY!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhh...I can't believe it!  I was sure it was a girl.  DH and DS told the u/s tech they thought it was a boy before she announced it to us.  I am so excited, but still in shock!  We don't even have a boy name picked out!

Everything looked perfect during the u/s and baby is weighing 10 oz!!  I go back for another u/s in 3 weeks!

Old wives tales....

So according to http://www.babygenderprediction.com/old-wives-tales-gender-prediction-method.html, there is a 73% chance I am having a girl and a 27% chance that I am having a boy...

The chinese gender chart says..... girl

www.fortunebaby.com says there is an 80% chance I am having a girl

So....does it even look like I need to go for the u/s today?  I think not!  (jk!!)

18 week appointment

Had my 18 week appt. with Dr. F. yesterday.  It went well, except she walks in and says..."have you noticed any pain or pressure when peeing"?  I said, I didn't think so.  Apparently I have a UTI and she gave me a rx for macrobid.

I gained 1lb overall since my "starting weight".  I have a feeling I'll be gaining like crazy now since my appetite is back in full force.

I heard the heartbeat again, which was a strong 150 bpm.

We also went over my cervical length measurements from my 16 week u/s  It went from 3.8 cm @ 14 weeks to 4.5 cm at 16 weeks.  We were both happy with the numbers.

Looking forward to Monday to find out the sex (take 2).

It's a.......

who knows?!?!?!?!!?!

Baby wasn't going to let us know today.  And trust me....we tried!  Between the abdominal u/s to the transvaginal and back to the abdominal, we just couldn't see today.  Baby had it's legs crossed and hands down between the area.

I am even more set with this fact that it's a girl, since she seems to be a diva already!

Everything else looked good and ds and dh got to see the baby moving around.  Plus, I thought I started to feel the baby move yesterday, but wasn't sure.  Today, I felt some of those flutters during the u/s and saw the baby move at the same time.  Overall, it was pretty cool!

Oh yeah...forgot to mention.  Baby is weighing in at 6oz!
