pregnancy highlights | 19 weeks

We regret to announce that the gender reveal was re-scheduled for next Thursday. Don't worry - we promise to keep you updated as soon as we find out!


To help you get through the weekend, here are some pregnancy highlights:


how far along: ~19 weeks
due date: October 10
size of baby: length of mango or 6 in., 8.5 oz.
movement: none yet, but could be any day!  I'm eager to feel the babe move around and to share it with Jon.
gender: we find out next week!
symptoms: general discomfort when sitting and being tired.
sleep: I've been getting pretty good sleep... much better sleep than the 1st trimester!
food cravings: frozen yogurt, frozen and fizzy drinks, lots of meat, salty foods.
maternity clothes: i love online window shopping for maternity clothes, but rarely buy anything! the few maternity clothes I've bought are still loose, but I wear them because they're so comfy. all clothes should be this stretchy!
what I miss: a variety of clothing. while I don't have a ton of clothes, I miss being able to wear my jeans. :)
best moment of the week: spending my first Mother's Day with my mom. I'm thankful we could drive down to NC to visit family. 
getting ready: Jon and I have been mentally preparing for baby - reading, researching, & asking lots of questions. we have enjoyed talking & singing to the baby. 
daddy: Jon is wonderfully supportive. everyday, he gives me compliments and goes out of his way to serve me. 
prayer requests: please continue to pray for a healthy baby, for good sleep and times of rest, for strength & patience in this journey.

Maybe he or she will be born on the 11th and the birthday will be 10/11/12! Easy to remember!
