19 weeks


July 10, 2012
how far along? 19 weeks
Madelyn’s size: around 6 inches, 8.5 ounces… about the size of a mango        
weight gain: one pound this week, 11 pounds total
maternity clothes: Yes, they came in Monday!  It feels so good to wear comfy clothes!
stretch marks: None
sleep: It's getting harder and harder to get and stay comfortable, and I'm getting up to pee at least once almost every night.
best moment this week: David feeling Madelyn for the first time!
On July 4th, David and I were lying in the bed, about to go to sleep, and Miss Madelyn was moving a bunch.  I decided to lightly place my hand where I was feeling the movement, to see if I could feel it on the outside...and sure enough, I could!  I whispered to David to gently place his hand on my tummy, and he was able to feel her, several times!  I was so excited, my heart was pounding!
food cravings: Nothing in particular
symptoms:  Still feeling fatigued a lot, but significantly less than before.  At least it's not every single day now!  Mood swings.  I can literally be crying one moment and laughing a few moments later.  It is ridiculous!
gender: Precious, baby girl!
belly button in or out: In
movement: Yes!
what I miss:  Sleeping comfortably through the night.
what I'm looking forward to: Seeing Madelyn again this week, and feeling her move more!

  1. I'm so glad daddy got to feel her move. What a magical moment :)
    I really like your shirt... where is it from? OOhh and those rain boots- LOVE EM!
    I am getting anxious to see that nursery. I really like the lamp on the dresser.

  2. It was such a wonderful moment, Erikka! I think magical describes it perfectly! The shirt is one I ordered from Old Navy and the boots were about $10 at Wal-Mart! I will probably be posting a reveal of the nursery pretty soon! :)
