How far along? 19 weeks 5 days
Maternity clothes: The same, a few here and there. Since it's been warm, I've been wearing some long skirts that really show off the bump!
Stretch marks: Nothing yet, but I close my eyes when I think I might see one in the chest area...I'm convincing myself that it's nothing. :) Must stay hydrated!
Sleep: Pretty good this week. Fell asleep on the couch a few nights, sitting up!!
Best moment this week: Finding out what we are having!!!!! It was a wonderful appointment and ultrasound. So heartwarming to see the little one growing strong! It's been hilarious to keep it from people until we can see family at the beach soon. Curiousity gets the best of people!!

Miss Anything: Cute summer clothes; wine; and the ability to not drop everything all the time...I swear I have never been so clumsy in my life!
Movement: Baby is VERY active! He/she (like that?) has even kicked a cat off my lap a few times this week...startled the heck out of Duke at one point. Everytime I scream for Daniel to come feel, he runs and the baby stops. Stubborn!? haha I really hope my family can feel some of the movement when we are at the beach.
Symptoms: HOT FLASHES! And I'm normally a very cold person...I wear sweaters all summer because my office is an ice box. These days, I can't get it to be cold enough! When I get hot...it last for about twenty minutes and there is nothing that helps!
Food cravings: BBQ; meat of any kind...but particularly steak!; chocolate pudding (random, I know); ice cream; cold melon; corn on the cob
Anything making you queasy or sick: The usual
Have you started to show yet: Oh yes. Embracing the bump with some fun shirts and loving people checking it out asking me preggo questions. Luckily, I haven't had any stranger belly rubs yet...but I'm sure they will come.
Gender: It's a..... you didn't think I was actually going to post it, did you!?! We are so excited to know, and can't wait to share soon!!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out?: Still in!
Wedding rigns on or off: Still on, but I'm not sleeping in them anymore just to be safe.
General Mood: Happy and somewhat nostalgic.
Best advice this week: To take not only lists when registering for baby, but listen to new mom's advice on what was really helpful to get.
Worst advice this week: Not really bad advice, just conflicting views. My doctor told me to pack coconut water packets for the beach next week to stay extra hydrated in the heat. Then this morning, NPR published an article about how the coconut water hydration is just a phase, and not legit. What to believe now?!
Exercise: Walking, stretching, and nesting (yes, I'm counting this as an exercise because after cleaning the whole house top to bottom...my body was SORE beyond belief!)
Looking forward to: The BIG gender reveal for family next weekend at the beach; vacation in general; Daniel being off school for the summer so he can start tackling the ever-growing hunny do list for the baby and house.
