19 weeks


How far along: 19 weeks
How big is baby: The size of a large heirloom tomato! And thanks to Loretta, we are currently heavily stocked on HUGE tomatoes!! :)
Total weight gain: Maybe 7 pounds by now?
Maternity clothes: No, just lots of comfies.
Stretch marks: Not yet
Sleep: I love it.
Best moment of the week: Not directly baby related. But we're getting closer to being done with the kitchen. Which means I can start turning the office/junk/guest/sewing room into Malachi's new room. Which means I can turn Malachi's current room into a nursery for my unnamed baby boy.
Food aversions: It's more like food smell aversions...
Food cravings: Well our counters made me want brownies, but I still don't think that's because I'm pregnant. It think that's because I'm Danielle.
Symptoms: Back pain isn't as constant but when it's there, it's BAD. 
Movement: More kicks...Malachi said he felt the baby moving last night, but I don't know if he really did lol.
Belly Button in or out: In
What I’m looking forward to: Picking a name already, jeez!
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody: More like...occasionally short-tempered.  
What I miss: Sleeping comfortably.

18 weeks


How far along: 18 weeks
How big is baby: The size of a sweet potato! Yum...
Total weight gain: 6 pounds. 
Maternity clothes: Maybe if I wasn't so cheap.
Stretch marks: Not yet
Sleep: I'd love to have time for naps during the week, but catching up on the weekends is still nice.
Best moment of the week: Ummm...nothing new actually. 
Food aversions: Nope, everything sounds delicious!
Food cravings: I can't think of any. Which is good since I don't have a complete kitchen right now to satisfy cravings lol.    
Symptoms: Tired, back pain and insatiable.
Movement: Definitely more of the strong kicks than the flutters.  The Dr. said this baby is very calm...I wonder if that will last when he's born too ;)
Belly Button in or out: In
What I’m looking forward to: Getting the kitchen done, so I can move on to Malachi's new room, so I can turn Malachi's current room back into a nursery.  Hopefully that will all get done before I get too big...
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody: More like...occasionally short-tempered.  
What I miss: Not peeing so often lol. It is really inconvenient some days!

17 weeks



How far along: 17 weeks
How big is baby: The size of a pear
Total weight gain: 5 pounds. Maybe 6 after tonight's Oodles date with my boys.  ;)
Maternity clothes: Not yet, but I'm sure they'd be comfier.  These darn hips shifted quickly lol
Stretch marks: Not yet...we'll see :)
Sleep: I still love naps, A LOT.
Best moment of the week: Finding out we're having another little dude! And seeing Dr. Palitz is always fun because it means I get to see the baby BOY :)
Food aversions: None...I even cooked with honey tonight and didn't get grossed out like I did with Malachi!
Food cravings: I kind of always get cravings, pregnant or not.  
Symptoms: I'm still tired all the time. My hips are still sore.  Back pain is annoying.  
Movement: Still just little flutters and a couple surprisingly stronger kicks.  As long as I can still feel him moving throughout the day, I can definitely wait until those little flutters become rib jabs!
Belly Button in or out: In
What I’m looking forward to: Picking a name! Nothing is perfect yet.  
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody: Happy!
What I miss: Still just sleeping comfortably.
