The 19th Week

I'm sorry I skipped a week but all the weeks are starting to feel the same! I'm starting to experience different sensations that come with the baby getting bigger. One of them is not feeling like I have to go to the restroom at all. then the baby repositions and I have a sudden urge to pee. Then it will move again, and I feel fine. :) The baby kicks when I eat-- most noticeably when I eat pop tarts. Sometimes when I lay down at night to go to bed, the baby gets situated and then we go to sleep. Sleep is becoming more difficult-- it's more sporadic. I've been waking up numerous times at night for no reason in particular. I've always read about women having trouble sleeping while pregnant but never thought I'd have to deal with it because I manage to tire myself out during the day. Guess I was wrong! I've also been having lower abdomen cramping, which they call round ligament pain. Basically the ligaments that hold your growing uterus are stretching to accommodate the new growth, and it makes you sore in your lower abdomen. That isn't constant though-- it comes and goes.

I haven't had that many strange cravings but last week I ate taco bell two days in a row. :) Sad part is I could def. eat it again today...my vote is when you're willing to drive a half hour to get it, it's a craving.

Our 20 week ultrasound is coming up!!! August 8th we get to find out if we're having a boy or girl. Everyone is saying girl! Even my dad changed his opinion from boy to girl. At first I thought for sure it would be a boy, but now I'm not so sure. In the beginning I had a dream that I gave birth to a boy, but just last week I had a dream that I gave birth to a girl, when everyone thought it was going to be a boy! I am praying that when we go get the ultrasound done, the baby is positioned really well for us to tell!

That's about all for this week!
