19 weeks and counting

I can't believe I'm at 19 weeks. It's passing quickly and it almost makes me sad because I am loving being pregnant. I love the kicks I am feeling (though apparently the reason I felt them so much earlier is because my abs aren't toned... Thanks for that app...) and I love that my belly is starting to show more and more. But I know by 40 weeks I'll be ready to pop and have the little peanut in my arms already! 

How Far Along:

19 weeks exactly

Size of baby:  
A "zesty" zucchini! A whopping 6 inches and 8.5 oz! I'm so excited the baby is getting so big!!! Every week I can't wait until Tuesday gets here to see how big the baby is and what i can compare my peanut to :) 

Total Weight Gain:
I am terrible at checking this as I really don't like knowing how much I'm gaining, but I had to have gained some this past week because my belly is so close to popping out! 

Stretch Marks:  Still none, but I liked what my friend Emily said about learning to love them when they come and not being worried about it :) 

Maternity Clothes:
I haven't worn any of the clothes I've gotten yet because when I put on a shirt it looks like I'm just chubby and wearing a bigger shirt, it doesn't tailor to me well so I'm waiting until I "pop" out more. Hopefully this week! 

Gender: 
We find out a week from Thursday, and I have a feeling this week might fly by, it's been going so fast!! :) I haven't decided if we* are going to name the baby and announce it right when we find out, I've had friends doing both and I kind of love hearing the name because I feel like it's so real that my friends are having their babes! We have a boy name that we picked out before we even got married and were joking that we have to get married since we both wanted to use the name (from a famous athlete back in the day) as a baby name. So we are pretty dead set and telling people early definitely won't change our mind. We also have a girl name we are obsessed with, it's becoming way popular but as a friend said, I don't see the problem with having a common name! My name in Utah is way common and I get to joke with girls "do you spell yours the right way?" (Even though mine is obviously the least common every time) 

Movement:  All. The. Time. It's not keeping me awake yet, but I have a feeling it'll get there. The baby must have some jump-shot legs, because they are strong!! It's such a comfort! I am to the point where I know how to get our little one to move. Usually just by wearing jeans and buttoning them, I get the babe a bit riled up... 

Belly Button in or out?:
Still an innie. But I want it to poke out a little!! I love seeing pictures of celebs when they are pregnant and their little button is poking through the shirt! 

Sleep: 
Luckily dream Bryce has been on a leash and hasn't ruined my dreams lately with discussions of divorce ;) overall the intensity is dimming a big, but I am waking up often again to go to the bathroom, so that's annoying but I fall back to sleep fast most of the time :) 

What I miss: Working out is still up there. I just don't have as much energy or motivation. But I've started doing pre natal yoga on Thursdays so it's awesome and makes my back feel great!!

Food Cravings:
Nothing consistent. Hot Cheetos still help with nausea when it's around, but other than that probably sushi is the most common thing I want! 

Food Aversions:  Chicken from home, leftovers always sound gross, honestly anything besides pasta cooked at home sounds unappetizing. But I still can eat BDUBS! ;) 

Nausea:
Not happy to report this, but just when I thought it was gone, I've had some bad nights where I am on the verge of throwing up all night. So I have to pop unisom. I asked a friend at work and she said the nausea came back for her too and then went away again and came back so I guess that's how it'll be for me. I still consider myself lucky not throwing up like most people do, but feeling like you have to and holding it back is NOT fun. 

Moody/Happy?
Happy, usually, but I have the shortest temper in the world.. I have to warn poor Bryce when he's being funny, that he's not so funny to hormonal pregnant Carlie. Poor guy. 

Pregnancy Brain Moments: 

Nothing too embarrassing or funny happened this week... I guess when I left church early because I was so nauseous, i left my phone and glasses in the library and it was awhile before I realized it. Bryce doesn't call this pregnancy brain, he calls this typical Carlie carelessness. I can't say he's wrong... 

What I’m looking forward to:

Going to BDUBS tonight... Nothing to do with pregnancy hahaha.  Excited for the gender reveal party, not so much to find out the sex but more because I'll get to have fun with friends and family all together and we all get to be surprised together :) 

19 weeks 0 days!:

The bump is DEFINITELY starting to pop out! Hard to tell with the mirror picture... Will add more later!
