19 Weeks and Counting!

Today marks the nineteenth week of my #2 pregnancy! Lots of changes have taken place this last week, so I figured I'd take note of them. It's nice to finally be heading over the 1st to 2nd trimester bump. The all day sickness has subsided to morning sickness, and even then it's not so bad.. as long as I don't accidentally gag myself while brushing my teeth, I'm usually in the clear of throwing up. My energy is on the rise (doesn't mean I don't take naps anymore..) and my appetite is growing enormously--could be the reason why my tummy decided to pop out this week too! It seems like within days my stomach has gone from the "just feel/look fat" stage to the harder, round stage; most of the time it feels like my insides are growing faster than my outsides! Only things that have gotten worse are that I'm constantly out of breath and I feel like my heart is going to pound out of my chest, ears and fingers at all times. Those little taps have also turned into full out pushing and kicking, which is exciting! Next week I'll have my 20 week ultrasound where they'll tell us whether or not they can visibly see anything wrong with the baby, measure her limbs, measure the heartbeat, etc. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and we have a healthy baby and mommy! (Also hope they don't tell me they got the gender wrong on the early check and that we're actually having a boy! Haha)
Apparently, this is what our lil' girl looks like right now :) Pretty cute if you ask me!
