- Kicking!! The baby is kicking like crazy now!! Hubz has gotten to feel it as well! So far it seems that baby us loves music and southern food. At least, this is when we get the most baby action going. Last night I cooked one of my favorite country meals and baby us did an actual FLIP in my belly!! (It was cool, but kinda hurt!) So let's get some fried potatoes on the table and Elvis in the background. This is truly a child after my own heart :)
- Fruit size: Mango, but only for a couple more days. Friday, (2 more days) I think we are supposed to hit cantelope status!!! Right now it's 6 1/2" long and 10 oz!
- Monday we have our 20 week appointment! We have the option to find out the sex, although we won't. (Man, it's tempting sometimes). However, I am excited to see our kiddo again!
Mommy stats this week:
- Carpal Tunnel is better!! This is completely due to the power of prayer!! Last week I had no issues with my hand/wrist/arm and was able to finish the last of my papers for school! I did have one incident when I got up in the middle of the night and my whole arm was numb (I had a real time trying to use the bathroom and wash my hands at 2 AM with one numb arm!!) and yesterday the other arm started hurting. Ugh. But at least I was able to get work done!! Praise God!
- Belly- Comments range these days from "Wow, starting to show huh?" to "Teacher Jessica, your belly is getting so BIG and FAT!!!" (gotta love 4 year-olds). I still have one pair of yoga pants that fit, so that keeps me happy.
- Baby stuff!! We've already been getting awesome gifts for the baby delivered from friends and family! We feel SO thankful and SO blessed!! I don't know about you, but when I first saw the list of stuff you have to buy to have a kid, I wanted to cry!! (I'm pretty sure I did, but we'll blame it on hormones). Now we have boxes piled up in our tiny living room just waiting to be opened upon the arrival of the future President (that's what I've been calling baby us lately).
Overall, week 19 has rocked!! I can't wait to see our baby in week 20 and introduce him or her (or at least introduce my big belly) to our family in week 23, when we get to visit Tennesseee!!
