MANgo Baby: 19 Weeks!





Will have to stop posting pics of hubby's skinny belly soon as it is giving me a complex ;)

 How far along? 19 weeks
Total weight gain:  I forgot to weigh myself this morning but based on a couple days ago I think it's probably 5  lbs
Maternity clothes? Sometimes! I can still do the hair tie trick with a couple pairs of jeans but I have a feeling those days are numbered!
Stretch marks? No 
Sleep: Pretty good, still easily tired & wanting to sneak in naps (so much for that sudden "burst of energy" everyone promises you in the 2nd trimester!)
Best moment this week: This week was AMAZING!!! Seriously, one of the best days of my life. Seeing baby BOY on the ultrasound was incredible and I feel so connected to him now! Love carrying my little guy around with me everywhere I go!
Miss anything? Not really missing anything this week
Movement: YES!! Now baby's movements are pretty obvious and even James got to feel him once! I don't feel him constantly but at least a couple times a day now!! So frickin' cool!
Food cravings:
Um....I probably need to lay off the homemade peanut butter cups (as I lick the chocolate of my fingers...)
Anything making you queasy or sick:
Nope, comes once in a blue moon but mostly feeling good!
Showing? Yes!!!!!!!! I have officially "popped." James and I were walking in downtown Orange today and as I passed the store windows I had to do a double take to find out who that very pregnant woman was! James was also taken aback as he took my picture today; he started laughing and said "you're so pregnant!!"
Gender: Our little baby boy!!!! We couldn't be more thrilled!
Labor signs:  No
Symptoms:
Growing pains!! Lots of round ligament pain and obnoxiously itchy skin.
Belly button in or out? Oh my, barely in! I can't believe how fast I am losing this thing! I had to take out my belly button ring yesterday...goodbye youth! ;)  
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time:
Very happy this week, the ultrasound experience put an extra pep in my step!
Looking forward to: Continuing to feel baby move more and more and our next prenatal appointment where we will review the anatomy ultrasound with our midwife.
Baby’s size: Mango!!

Today we had our 4th annual pumpkin carving extravaganza with Maggie & Anthony....

Hard at work!
I think hubs is excited!
Our Hillbilly pumpkin fest complete with a fort!
Sneaking in some snuggle time!
