19 Weeks Pregnant

It seems that the baby flutters are now turning into much stronger kicks and punches. It's much more obvious to me now when the baby moves. This makes for a very happy and increasingly calm mommy! :)

Thanksgiving was great! And all the eating seemed to push my appetite into high gear! I ate two huge Thanksgiving dinners on Thanksgiving. Once at 12:00, and again around 6:00. When we arrived home that night (around 10:30), I was starving again! A big plate of nachos did the trick. YUM! Went to bed shortly after, only to wake up starving again at 5:00 am. Got up, ate a bowl of cereal, back to bed. This is how my days have been going ever since. If fact, right now as I'm writing this (12:30 am), I'm thinking that I better have a snack before bed. This baby HAS TO BE having a growth spurt! YIKES! Don't get me wrong though, I'm LOVING it! After the awful first trimester I had, it feels good to be able to EAT! :)

Our ultrasound is scheduled for December 9! Only 10 days away! We are hoping that baby cooperates so we can find out if we're having a son or a daughter. That's when the fun will begin! I'm so excited to start getting the nursery ready. Collecting cute little outfits to create a wardrobe for the baby. Washing all the teeny, tiny baby things. Organizing the house so that we're ready to bring the baby home. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! :)

Please pray for us concerning the ultrasound. Everything has been going perfectly with the pregnancy so far, and I'm really hoping that the ultrasound shows a well-developed baby. I still can't seem to completely grasp that things could really be going well this time. The doubt and worry has gotten a lot better for me, but it's still there to some extent. Just pray that we see a healthy baby on the 9th!
