Week 19 Bumpdate

Happy Wednesday bumpdate, y’all. I really haven’t meant to only blog about pregnancy related stuff recently but I haven’t had any motivation to blog more often. I do have a few Rwanda post that are about 75% done but it’s kind of emotional every time I look at them, knowing I won’t be returning this year.

How Far Along: 19 weeks, 4 days
Size of Baby: A mango and 6 inches long! According to our appointment on Monday, Hot Pie weighs 12 oz and is in the 58th percentile in size.
Gender: It’s a sweet girl! Read all about our gender reveal party here!
Movement: We have one very active girl! I feel her move a good bit and knew I was feeling some of the movement on the outside. Cory was convinced I just had gas. Well, Sunday evening we were laying on the couch and she kept kicking in the same place. I told Cory to see if he could come feel and sure enough she kicked hard enough for him to feel it! His face when he felt it was priceless.
Sleep: I’ve been really, really tired the past week or so, so I’ve slept really, really hard. Like asleep before my head hits the pillow.
Workouts: Yes! I worked out!!! I did a Zumba class Saturday morning, walked around Buy Buy Baby for about 4 hours registering on Monday and plan on doing Zumba again tonight. Hopefully, I can keep a schedule of doing Zumba or Yoga 2-3 times a week.  
Maternity Clothes: Oh yeah! I can still wear my non-maternity shirts but haven’t been in a regular pair of pants in a few weeks.
Weight Gain: 7lbs according to my doctor on Monday and she was good with that.
Symptoms: Last week I mentioned issues with my kidneys and I had another really painful episode Wednesday night. The doctor said to call if it happened again, so I did on Thursday morning and they scheduled an ultrasound on my kidneys for Friday. I had it done and I was free of kidney stones. I haven’t had any more issues so I’m really praying that I passed it on Wednesday night.
Cravings/Aversions: Anything fruit related…fruit chews {like ridiculous amounts}, fruit smoothies, actual fruit. I had a smoothie for breakfast on the way to the doctor on Monday and Hot Pie was really feeling it because she was moving around like crazy!
Missing Most: I’ve notice that if I eat too much, I’m having a really hard time catching a deep breathe and just feeling really uncomfortable. I’ve really been trying to stop myself before I get to this point but I already miss just being comfortable.
Nursery: We registered after my appointment on Monday and were planning on taking our crib home with us but it wouldn’t fit in my car. I don’t know why we didn’t drive the truck!
Labor Signs: No! Thank you, Jesus.
Belly Button In or Out? Still in but it’s getting really flat. I suspect it will be out before long.
Wedding Rings On or Off? On
Hubby: He’s still just been the greatest. He often talks about how fun going through all this is and it just melts my heart. I wish I had filmed his face the first time he felt her move. So, so sweet!
Best Part of the Week: Of course, getting to see our girl again and getting a great report for her 20 week anatomy scan. And registering, even though I wore the wrong shoes, my feet were killing me and we didn’t get to bring her crib home, I’m glad to have it over with!
Can’t Wait For: The countdown is on for our babymoon! Cory and I both can’t wait to have a few days to relax! T-minus 3 weeks!
