Weekly Pregnancy Post - 19 Weeks

How far along: 19 weeks
Gender: Will find out tomorrow, if the baby cooperates.
Pregnancy Symptoms: Fatique, and a bit of crankiness. Especially at work.
Maternity Clothes: It's official. My old clothes just don't fit! I wore a pre-pregnancy sweater to work, and didn't realize how small it was until I was sitting in my cublicle. I spent the entire day pulling the sweater down so my tummy wasn't exposed.
Movement: More and more movement this week.
Best Moment of the Week: T talking to my belly and telling lil monkey how much he loves him/her.
Food Cravings: Butterfingers, laffy taffy. (Seriously, why can't my cravings be for veggies?)
What I miss: Being able to stay up late.
Weekly Wisdom: Take time each day to be thankful for your blessings. Never let a day go by that you don't give thanks. . . to whomever you give thanks to. I like to meditate daily and really take in the blessings in my life.

Inshallah. . . I will find out the gender tomorrow. Any guesses? I don't know if I buy into any of those wive's tales out there, but in case any of you see validity in them, I'll give you some of my pregnancy details to help you make a better guess at the gender. I thought I'd give details on all the old wive's tales that I've heard since being pregnant.

I'm carrying high
The heartbeat ranges from 155-160 on a daily basis (How do I know this? I have a home doppler of course!)
I crave sweets more than anything else
I'm in the mood to dress up more than dress down
And here is my picture at 19 weeks.

If you're anything like me, carrying high and with that heartbeat I'd say BOY. But I have a feeling it's a girl based on your sweet cravings!

Yea, some of my regular clothes seem like they would fit, but the belly hangs out the the lovely maternity panal shows. Not pretty!

Happy 19 weeks!

I'll just wait and find out what the gender is when you post it soon. I hate to be wrong, lol! :)

I love the baby bump picture.

I'm guessing that it is going to be a girl or a boy ;) Either way, it will be a little monkey. Can't wait to find out.

Hey Leah -

I got your message on my blog - thanks for that. Yes, it is a relief just to be done and waiting!

I am so excited for you and Taher! You have so much to look forward to. Are you going to post the sex of the baby when you find out?

Take care!
