Week: 19
P Size: About the size of a large heirloom tomato.
Total Weight Gain/loss: 13
Stretch Marks: none
Maternity Clothes?: YES! But still only pants. I am still wearing my normal shirts although some have finally been retired. Not having to wear maternity shirts yet.
Sleep: My pillow is my friend! Plus I sleep much better when Warren is home.
Movement: yes! It is very noticable on the inside and we sure have a mover and a shaker! Little P seems to like tossing and turning all the time.
What I Miss: Not being so busy at work! I have been missing work outs because I have been so consumed with work that I lose track of time:(
Status of the Button: Getting shallower by the week but still in.
What I'm Looking Forward to: Starting birthing classes and our breastfeeding class!
Best Moment this Week: Very noticable movement on the outside:)and seeing our little person on Monday!
Preggers Bod-New and Exciting!..maybe?: Not to much has changed recently. Still getting bigger in the belly and the boobs are different but nothing has changed too much in the last week.
P Milestones: Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.
Food Cravings: Cheese

Week 18
Week: 18
P Size: About the length of a bell pepper.
Total Weight Gain/loss: +13
Stretch Marks: none
Maternity Clothes?: Yes!
Sleep: I finally ordered and recieved a pregnancy pillow. This is a true lifesaver! I have slept so well since I have started sleeping with it! Love it!
Movement: Yes! Still mainly from the inside but as it gets stronger and less fluttery I am getting exctied to start feeling it more on the outside. I have felt a couple movements from the outside this week but nothing mjor or enough for others to feel yet. Plus I can not wait until Warren can feel it! Should only be a few more weeks:)
*The night of 9/22 I felt the baby on the outside for the first time!!! so exciting*
What I Miss: Not much...I am trying to enjoy pregnancy! However, my butt/hip not hurting...I do miss be able to walk pain free.
Status of the Button: In still but getting more shallow.
What I'm Looking Forward to: Still our ultrasound next Monday!
Best Moment this Week: Being present for little Hawkins Conkling being born and feeling our Little P on the outside that night!
Preggers Bod-New and Exciting!..maybe?: My nipples are huge! Crzy huge! Warren thinks they need thier own zipcode...lol! But it is only the nipple and not the areola.
Hormone Craziness?? (I am adding this because it is necessary:)) Dreams are better but I have been a lot more sensitive lately.
P Milestones: Baby is busy flexing thier arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. Blood vessels are visible through the baby's thin skin, and the ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from the head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around the nerves, a process that will continue for a year after the baby is born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound
Food Cravings: Still cheese but I have also ben wanting bread.

week 16
Week: 16
P Size: About the size of a avocado.
Total Weight Gain/loss:
Stretch Marks: none
Maternity Clothes?: Yes, I have even used a couple of shirts now.
Sleep: Warren is back and I am sleeping pretty great!
Movement: Yes, but still faint and only at certain times.
What I Miss: Not being sick! I got a little cold this week.
Status of the Button: Very In
What I'm Looking Forward to: Our next ultrasound on 9/27!
Best Moment this Week: Dr. appt that Warren got to go to.
Preggers Bod-New and Exciting!..maybe?: I learned that my uterus is right out front and it the reason I am looking so pregnant this early.
Hormone Craziness?? (I am adding this because it is necessary:)) Still just the crazy vivid dreams!
P Milestones: His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.

Warren's realization
Warren turned to me and said kind of questioning:
W- "So you are not having any drugs during labor, right?"
M- "Nope, they are not even an option at the birth center."
W- "Really!?"
M- "Yep, that is the whole idea behind going to a birth center instead of a hospital."
lol!
