*19 weeks*

 

So FINALLY we got to have the big ultrasound where we find out the gender!

 

{{Drum Roll}}

 

 

We still won't know until our wedding.

I KNOW I KNOW...the list of people who want our baker's address is growing by the day. In case you don't know, we're surprising our guests (and ourselves!) with the reveal by putting either pink or blue into the base layer of our wedding cake. Gotta get people to watch the cake cutting right?!

Andrew came to me with the idea after Matt Krech geniously proposed it to him. Although I want to kick myself sometimes for agreeing, I'm really happy we've chosen to go through with it. This way we get to experience one of the biggest moments of our lives with our ENTIRE families.

 

Two weeks!! Two weeks!!

 

However, we did get to see that beautiful baby. :) Everything is right on track! Thank the Lord. We have a snuggler who wouldn't move out of the placenta, but you can still see most of their face :)

 

 

 

Seriously though, I am SO in love already. 

 

 

We are so incredibly blessed, and I am so moved by this beautiful creation of life inside my tummy! Every day gets a little more real when I feel the little kicks down in my abs.

 

Sorry, post work out. Hi baby bump!!

 

How far along: 19 weeks

Maternity clothes? Yes! But I also have found cute summer/spring dresses that I just buy up a size! I know it's going to be a hot one, but I am really thankful that I get to spend the majority of my "bump" days wearing no pants and only dresses. I hate pants.

 

Stretch marks? Nope

 

Sleep: Still getting up a few times a night, I swear this baby LOVES my bladder. But I'm sleeping really well once I get out.

Best moment this week: Seeing that beautiful face :) And knowing that at least someone knows what we're having!!

Miss Anything? Wine! I miss just sitting down with dinner and having a glass.

Movement: Yes :) Still little flutters, but a lot more often

Food cravings: Well luckily Im starting to want avocado again. But all I want to eat is cheese and carbs. Which I can't!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Sometimes I'll open the fridge or be washing dishes and I want to run to the toilet. But textures are starting to really bug me.

Labor Signs: None for awhile!

Symptoms: Back pain, movement, sleepiness, pregnancy brain (OH the pregnancy brain)

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? Almost timeee!!!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Well, I found out that I can't have carbs anymore...and I LOVE CARBS. Pastas, breads, you name it, I will eat it. I've been really slacking the past month or so on my diet and working out, and I'm paying for it. I've had to get back on track and I have been a MONSTER because of it. I want that bowl of mac and cheese SO bad, but pass the carrots please? It's been an adjustment, but luckily I bounce back quickly. Andrew's had to deal with my hormonal mood swings, but happy to say babe, I'm happy again! ;)

Also, as I write this I just got a text from him asking if I wanted anything from an emergency Wendy's stop. He knows how much I love spicy chicken! Oh the prices I pay for the beautiful baby. :) Which makes it all so unbelievably worth it.

Looking forward to: SPRING! This weather is amazing! We get to go to Keeneland tomorrow to watch some horse races to celebrate Miss Bowles. I can't wait to get out and enjoy the sunshine with our friends!
