Pregnancy #3 - Week 19

Pregnancy : Week 19

DATE: January 25, 2013

How far along: 19 weeks

How Big is Baby?  Baby is the size of a mango!  At about 6.0 inches long and weighing in at about 8.5 ounces.  Working on his/her five senses. Nerve cells for her sense of taste, hearing, sight and smell are developing in his/her brain.

Total Weight Gained: 3.8 pounds total.  I actually lost 0.6 pounds this week, but that is coming off of my giant gain last week…so I assume that I am just evening out!

Maternity Clothes:  Some pants here and there.  I have a pair of jeans and a pair of black skinnies.  Other than that, still in regular clothes.  I did do a little on-line maternity shopping this week though.

Sleep: good….I was tired this week!  Going to bed earlier than normal.

Best Moment of the Week: Got to watch the little peanut moving around for about 45 minutes during the “big” Ultra Sound!!  Hearing that everything looks great….and that due date remains the same.

Movement: not yet…and I am getting anxious

Food Craving: Mexican, chips and salsa

Food Aversions: none really…just not too much meat.

Morning Sickness: nope!

Gender: IDK…we held strong during the Fetal Survey U/S this week and it is still a surprise!

Symptoms: headaches here and there 

What I miss: caffeine…lots of it!

What I'm looking forward to: Feeling movement!

At the beginning of the month 50+ of our closest family and friends traveled to VEGAS to witness my little sister and her fiance (now hubby) Shawn get hitched!!

 

It was a fabulous celebration and a beautiful wedding.

I snapped a few cute pictures of my parents and Blake the other night.  He is just growing up so fast and none of us can get enough of him!!  He is such a sweet, smart, spunky little boy.  I just love ho listen to him :)

I cannot for the life of me get these pictures to rotate....ugh.  I am giving up. 

 Tilt your head to see how handsome my little dude is :)

Little sister is getting married....in Vegas!!

I spend the weekend with my mom and sister in Las Vegas!! We went there to plan my sisters WEDDING....how exciting. She is getting married on October...so we had to go scope things out and make the arrangements....I HAD to go along as Matron of Honor...what a drag ;)

She decided to do everything at Mandalay Bay. Can't say that I blame her. It is beautiful...wedding chapel, pool, shops, etc...all so nice! She will be getting married there and then having an "in suite" reception in one of their huge, beautiful suites overlooking the strip....yay!

We got a pool view room for the weekend...and spend quite a bit of spare time taking advantage of these beautiful pool and the amazing weather {when we weren't busy wedding planning, of course}Mary and mama pose for a photo op!

Sister, sister!!
