18/19 weeks It's a BOY!

Fun Fact: I also forgot to blog 18 weeks when I was pregnant with Evelyn HAHA

How far along? 19 weeks, 6 days

Total weight gain/measurements: 12 lbs. Guys, I feel like I'm doing so much better this time around. I'd already gained 20 lbs with Evelyn. Thanks, Fit4Mom! 

Maternity clothes: Still maternity shorts and lularoe, all day every day!

Sleep: I wake up every night at 2 am. Last night I actually went back to sleep pretty quickly, but lately I've been up for at least an hour. 

Best moment this week: Definitely getting away from Texas heat and escaping to Colorado. I have zero desire to get back home. We celebrated my 30th birthday too!

Miss anything? Nothing really?  

Movement: Movements are FINALLY more obvious, which brings on the "is he moving enough" anxiety. I'm a mess, y'all. I wait desperately for these kicks, then worry that there's not enough kicking...it's an endless cycle until baby is here in my arms. 

Food cravings: Still salads and fruit. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Snot (lol), eating cake for dinner

Gender: Baby boy

Labor signs: Had some braxton hicks yesterday.  

Symptoms: So, my eczema finally got better. Then we went on vacation and I ate pizza with double cheese on the crust and then cheese on top of that and my body was NOT HAPPY. But it was worth it. And I will eat those leftovers. Some nausea still, and heartburn! omg I never had heartburn with Evelyn so this is super annoying, but baby boy is sitting so much higher than she did. 

Belly button in or out? In.  

Wedding rings on or off? Off.

Happy or moody most of the time: I've been happy, but I think that's because of vacation. Still pretty emotional. I cry at the drop of a hat. 

Looking forward to: we are going on a train ride today! Sarah's wedding is Friday woohoo!! 

19 weeks with Evelyn and 18 weeks with baby boy. Look at how high baby is! 

Week 17

How far along? 17 weeks, 5 days

Total weight gain/measurements: 6 lbs? I only weigh myself at dr's appts so who knows. 

Maternity clothes: Mostly just shorts. Most of my LuLaRoe fits and is still so comfortable. I love how it works with all stages of pregnancy and postpartum! 

Sleep: Evelyn hasn't been sleeping well, so neither have I. Twice the past two nights we've had to get her around 5:30 or 6 am because she was fussing all night in her sleep. She calms down as soon as she's in bed with us. I'm not sure what's going on with her! 

Best moment this week: I had so much fun hosting Ellen's baby shower with Sarah! Mike cleaned the whole house and that made me feel all nice and nesty. (I never nested with Evelyn and I doubt I will with this baby either, but I like when other people clean for me HAHA)

Miss anything? Nothing really?  

Movement: Teeny tiny movements sometimes. I didn't feel Evelyn until about 19 weeks and she was much bigger. I kind of wish I didn't already feel this baby because I don't like how inconsistent little bitty baby kicks are! I much prefer the obvious movements that come later in pregnancy. 

Food cravings: I let myself have some cheese and cinnamon rolls this week and it was everything I dreamed it would be. I've also been craving salads, especially the salad bar at Jason's Deli. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Going without water (I'm terrible at hydration) or eating for too long. 

Gender: I vote girl. Mike votes boy. 

Labor signs: No, because that would be terrifying. 

Symptoms: Eczema is still terrible. I have given up on it. Hence the cheese. I'm still really tired...all this rain isn't helping! Some nausea, but better than last week! 

Belly button in or out? In.  

Wedding rings on or off? Off.

Happy or moody most of the time: Moody and emotional. I was having a really good day the other day and mom came over and complained about my house and I was SO MAD because she ruined my good mood and I'm never in a good mood. HAHA. I got over it. 

Looking forward to: Tuesday is dress like a cow day at Chick Fil A! Only two weeks till our anatomy scan and gender reveal party!!!! 

Week 16

How far along? 16 weeks, 6 days

Total weight gain/measurements: 6 lbs.  

Maternity clothes: Loooove them. I say this all the time, but I don't understand why people don't just dive into maternity clothes when they're pregnant. They're seriously missing out.  

Sleep: Last night was rough, but I went to the chiropractor this morning and my shoulder was allllll kinds of out of wack so that's probably why I couldn't sleep. I am looking forward to a better night tonight. 

Best moment this week: Going to the chiropractor today was the best pregnancy related thing that happened to me. I wish I had gone more often with Evelyn. (I only went once, the day before I went into labor lol) Non-(our)baby related, I got to cuddle with baby Helen! 

Miss anything? Cheese. Milkshakes. 

Movement: Teeny tiny movements every so often. 

Food cravings:  Cheese. Watermelon and blackberries. Cinnamon rolls with LOTS of icing, the kind from the grocery store. I've been to two different grocery stores trying to find this and I have had zero luck. It's making me really cranky. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? I got sick twice last week. Whyyyyyy? 

Gender: Evelyn still votes for goat. 

Labor signs: No, because that would be terrifying. 

Symptoms: I am really struggling with staying awake. I still have to take a nap every day, which is weird to me. I guess that's pregnancy while dealing with toddlers. The nausea has been okay the past few days, but still struggling. I'm about to give up on my eczema ever getting better. 

Belly button in or out? In.  

Wedding rings on or off? Off.

Happy or moody most of the time: The other day I texted Mike going absolutely nuts about something someone posted in our neighborhood facebook page. After screaming and yelling (via text), I calmly asked him to remind me of this when I ask him if I was happy or moody this week. He's asleep, so I had to remember this all on my own.  

Looking forward to: Tomorrow is the fourth of July? I don't really care for this holiday, but that's cool. We're hosting Ellen's baby shower on Saturday, so I am really excited for that!! Her baby girl will be here so soon!!
