Weekly Pregnancy Journal
How far along: 19 w, 0 d
Total weight gain/loss: +15. I just hope that my doctor doesn't tell me on
Friday that I'm gaining too much weight! I really need to lay off the junk food.
Maternity clothes: Yup
Stretch marks: Not yet
Sleep: I don't really love the wedge pillow, so I'm thinking of buying a boppy pillow that I can use now and as a nursing pillow.
Best moment this week: Seeing the dance party going on in my ute at the ultrasound on Friday, and feeling definite movement. It's not just "flutters" - it's a full-on poke from the inside out.
Movement: Definitely! And it's fantastic!
Cravings: Nothing really.
Aversions: None
Gender: I think it's a girl, but I don't really know. We had the U/S tech
nician take the photos and put them on file just in case we decide to find out, but so far, it's a mystery.
Labour Signs: None
Belly Button in or out: In, but it's huge and shallow
What I miss: The ease with which I used to just stand up from the couch or get out of the car
What I'm looking forward To: Getting the u/s results this Friday when I see my OB
Weekly Wisdom: As much as my brother-in-law's mom drove me crazy on the weekend with her insensitive comments about my size, I should just be happy that she's not my mother-in-law!
Symptoms this week: Nothing major this week.
Milestones: Movement! And I now have cute defined baby bump - complete with the U-shaped indent underneath it. So I no longer have to worry if I just look chubby - it's definitely baby!
Vernix caseosa, a greasy white substance made of lanugo, oil and dead skin cells (yum) now coats baby's skin, shielding it from the amniotic fluid. (Picture yourself after a nine-month bath, and the need for protection makes sense.) You might actually get to see the vernix at birth, especially if baby is premature.
