19 weeks

Weekly check-in:

How far along?: 19w3d
How big is baby: The size of a sweet mango (my favorite fruit!!)!
Weight gain/loss: I have not weighed myself this week. After this vacation, I am scared to hop on the scale :-). I probably gained 5 lbs this week!!
Pregnancy symptoms: Growing belly, fetal movements/kicks
Maternity clothes: No maternity clothes this week but a lot of loose dresses/tops
Stretch Marks: None
Sleep: I've been getting tons of sleep this week so no complaints
Best moment this week: Finding out that Baby Jarbs is a GIRL and letting the rest of the world know :-). Also, Daddy Jarbs finally feeling the baby kick and telling her "I love you baby" :-).
Movement: Baby Jarbs has been kicking A LOT since last Friday! I can feel her kick everyday now. What an awesome feeling. It always brings a smile to my face.
Food cravings: Nothing in particular
Food aversions: Nothing in particular
Labor signs: None
Belly button in or out: Still in but getting shallower
What I miss: Not having a hard time getting dressed
What I am looking forward to: Start working on her nursery when we get back!
Milestones:



Vernix caseosa, a greasy white substance made of lanugo, oil, and dead skin cells (yum) now coats baby's skin, shielding it from the amniotic fluid. (Picture yourself after a nine-month bath, and the need for protection makes sense.)
