How far along?: 19 weeks
How big is baby?: Baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato.
Weight gain?: I lost two pounds after being sick this past weekend.
Stretch marks?: I have been lathering on the olive oil.
Maternity clothes?: I finally went out and bought a pair of maternity jeans. I must say they are super comfy!
Food cravings?: I have been craving veggies and dip. At the start of the week, I cut up a whole bunch of veggies and keep them in the fridge for easy and healthy snacking.
Sleep?: Toss and turn, throw blankets off and then pull them back on..repeat about a million times. Insomnia!
Gender?: Less than a week away until the big day!
Exercise?: The weather is starting to warm up again (am hoping spring decides to stick around this time) so we have spent a lot of time outdoors. Love our daily walks.
What's been going on? I was able to sneak away for our girls' getaway this past weekend. We had a great first day but then I woke up bright and early on Sunday extremely ill. I won't go into details, but it wasn't pretty. I even had to get the hubby to pick me up as there was no way I was going to be able to take the train home. Things are finally looking up around here and I am starting to feel better. I did lose some weight from being so sick but I am hoping I can quickly add it back on. There were a few days when I did not feel this little bean move but I am happy to report baby is kicking momma again.

Weekly e-mail update: Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.

Weight gain?: Still holding strong at 4 pounds.

Stretch marks?: Not yet. Lathering up the lotion.

Maternity clothes?: Not yet - still getting away with using my normal clothes if I use the belly band.

Food cravings?: I haven't really experienced any cravings this week.

Sleep?: Knock on wood - things have been going well in this department.

Movement?: Little flutters here and there.

Gender?: 95% sure we will find out the sex.

Exercise?: Spring is finally here which means I actually want to go outside. My goal now is to walk at least 30 minutes day.

What's been going on?: Nothing too exciting has been happening this week. I must say that my nausea has been a bit better. During this pregnancy, my sense of smell has been out of this world. I can pick up a scent from a mile away - this makes changing Little Miss L.'s diapers not a very fun process.  

My famous belly band!
