Baby's second photo shoot ;)

Well we had our 20 week appointment yesterday, Monday the 13th and everything is going great! Baby and mama are doing well and mama is even slightly getting over her hatred of the doctor's office! Haha!
Here are some photos of our little cutie:

In other news Jesse was finally able to feel baby moving around!! We both cried and then laughed at each other crying haha, we were both so, so happy and totally in love with our little baby-to-be :)

19 weeks!!!!!

"Have you ever seen a mango dipped in cheese? Well, that's what your baby looks like this week due to a little growth spurt (she's about a half pound in weight and six inches long) and a substance called vernix caseosa. This greasy white stuff covers your baby's skin, protecting it from the surrounding amniotic fluid. (Without it, she'd look totally wrinkled as she entered the world.) The vernix sheds as delivery approaches, though some babies still sport a bit of the coating at birth"

Best moment this week:  Getting a body pillow hehe

Miss Anything?  sushi, hard cider.... the usual. Starting to really miss caffine....

Showing Yet? Yup!

Food cravings:  Erbs and Gerbs Jacob Bluefinger sandwich with extra mayo and onions!!! I have had about 5 in the past week lol

 Anything making you queasy or sick:Getting overheated. I thought I was gonna die at work last Tuesday-- wayyyy too hot and I ran out of water :-(

Gender Prediction: BOY
 
Symptoms:  Round ligament stretching, back pain, headaches, bathroom breaks, cravings... Getting the very occasional, very light leg cramps now too

Belly Button in or out? IN

 Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!! I think Jesse is moodier than I am.... But I love every little movement and telling Jesse about it and him rushing over to try to feel it-- I can't wait until he can feel it too, I will be one happy camper :)

Looking forward to: Seeing baby again on Monday!!! And for Jesse to feel movement :)

EXCITING NEWS!!! We signed a lease for an amazing Gated Community Apartment in Tampa!!! 2 Bedrooms and a Den, over 1300 sq. Feet, dishwasher, washer and dryer, cable, valet trash pick-up, 4 pools and a hot tub, fitness room, clubhouse, playground, campground, and soooo much more!

I turned in a ton of resumes Thursday and so far got one response from a dance school saying that they had already hired full time ballet teachers but they want me as a sub, so I am to contact them once we arrive and get set up :)

Keep your fingers crossed that we get great jobs! :)

18 weeks :)

"Your pregnancy back pain may have you tied up in knots, but your baby's getting ready to bust a move. At five and a half inches long and five ounces in weight, he now may be large enough for you to feel him twisting, rolling, kicking, and punching his way around the womb. Plus, he's developing yawning and hiccupping skills (you may feel those soon, too!) and his own unique set of toe and fingerprints."

How far along? 18 weeks!!! I cannot believe we are already almost halfway there!

 

Maternity clothes? Nope, but as you can see I am loving stretch capris, tank tops and loose shirts hehe. I did have to give in and go hunt down a  bigger bra the other day though. Ugh.

 Stretch marks?Not that I can tell.


Sleep:  Good! Sleeping late most days, woke up early today though. Only getting up to pee once a night now haha!

Best moment this week: Seeing Jesse's parents, being out of our apartment and going swimming! :)

Miss Anything?  Sushi and Cider. And sprouts.

Showing Yet? Yup, still fairly small though. Funny I thought I'd be bigger by this point.

Movement: Strange, random wiggles in my tummy-- definitely feel like butterflies or something like that.

Food cravings:  Erbert and Gerbert's "Jacob Bluefinger" like no other!!! I want one every dayyyyyy! Also chocolate and starting to severely miss coffee :-(

 Anything making you queasy or sick:Not really!


Gender Prediction: Baby boy still methinks
 
Symptoms:  My stomach muscles are feeling stretched every time I stand or arch back. Otherwise some round ligament issues, fatigue and stuffy nose lol-- I also sneezed like crazy for a random 48 hours. So weird!
