My 19 week appointment

This week I went to my 19 week appointment and I got to see my little man for 45 minutes in an ultrasound! I was so excited to see how well he is doing! He had perfect 10 fingers and 10 toes and an adorable profile I just cannot wait to kiss! When the woman was performing the ultrasound she kept saying "this little guy wont stay still!" and I just love that he is a feisty little man. The doctor told us that baby G is in the 90th percentile of growth, like his femur bone, his tummy and his head, so I am guessing he is going to get BIGGER soon! He weighed 12 ounces when he is only supposed to be about 7! Needless to say I have ants in my pants for the next half of my pregnancy, I just cant wait to meet my little dollface! 

Look at that tummy!! His nose also looks kissable! :)

Our clarification he is a HE for sure! 

What I want for baby:

Stretch marks? No hoping that continues (fingers crossed)

Sleep: Sometimes great and sometimes sucks, I have crazy dreams, and I cannot get comfortable! 

Best moment this week: Everything <3

Miss Anything? Running on the treadmill, I walk now often but running is so much more fun! 

Movement: yes, especially at the end of the day when I am laying down. He must wait until he knows I will feel him. 

Food cravings: I want strawberry everything!

Anything making you queasy or sick: NONE

Gender: boy, but we go Monday to have 100% confirmation! (they have seen his little member twice but this week we will get the final verdict!) 

Labor Signs: no

Symptoms: some cramps from my stomach growing!

Happy or Moody most of the time: SUPER Happy!

Looking forward to: Monday for that super exciting long ultra sound! I am so anxious to see the little guy and see that he is growing perfectly as he has been :)

I have been super lucky in getting stuff as a hand-me-down, gift or at a super good deal from friends and family. Just like I did my wedding on a budget I plan to do Baby G on a budget as well. I refuse to buy anything at full price and already I am clipping diaper and baby coupons in case something goes on sale!  Some things I have gotten so far are : 

The inspiration for Baby G's room! As you can tell I love everything that has to do with cows and I'm sure my baby will too! This was a gift from my lovely step mother from Ikea! I cant wait to hang it :)

Can you even tell how many clothes there are here on this bed?? Not joking there are over 50 outfits here including hats, socks, shoes, sweaters, onseies, holiday clothes, pants, pajamas, everything we will need until the baby is 6 months old, so if you are planning to come to my baby shower please remember this! :) These were a hand-me-down from one of my students mothers who just had twins. Some of these outfits still have tags! I am very excited about these if you cant tell! 

My mom bought me the gliding rocking chair from a friend at her job and the changing table I got for 50$ from the same woman! I am getting very antsy to decorate the babies room, it is going to be so cute and happy for our little angel! Keep checking and I will let you know of more deals I get! 

17 weeks : baby is the size of a large onion!

This week hubby and I went on a babymoon to Island of Adventure! It was a Christmas gift to us from an awesome friend of ours and we were so lucky to have the time to do this! It was terribly hard to leave our dogs, they are more like family to us! Thankfully my wonderful step mom and my dad stayed at our house to dog sit! We had to much fun on our trip minus my little breakdown I had. I was trying not to be a party pooper so I just walked and walked and pushed my body too far, the tip of my iceberg was the pouring down rain I had to walk through and couldn't walk fast enough!! But the next day I decided to take it much easier with the help of my awesome hubby! Super happy we got to spend the time together that we did :)

But we will know 100% February 15th :) But all is well with baby and he is getting big and super cute! Look at his cheeks and his nose! So precious! Feeling great! 16 week post is coming soon :)
