19 weeks!


Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 19 Weeks

Size of baby: 6 inches (from i-pregnancy app)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 5 pounds (and here comes the weight!)

Maternity Clothes: All regular clothes (I bought some new maternity jeans at JC Penney last night. I didn't even know they had maternity clothes!)

Gender: A beautiful boy! Henry William Lewis

Movement: I haven't felt anything lately. This is a source of stress for me right now especially since my last due date is tomorrow. I am really trying to stay calm and relax about it. (I ended up heading to the Dr. yesterday to hear the heartbeat just because I was worried. The heartbeat was 148! We did have a little issue with an echogenic focus on the heart. I go to the specialist some time next week for him to check further. They were not worried AT ALL. She said that is basically like a mole on the skin, but it is on the heart. She said that the femurs and head folds were measuring perfectly so that is what we are focusing on!! Not what we wanted to hear, but there is nothing really I can do about it right now! She said that even Dr. Tynes daughter had this same thing.)

Sleep: I sleep really well except for the bathroom breaks

What I miss: Sleeping on my back

Cravings: I have been loving cold fruit...it hits the spot!

Symptoms: tail bone pain...when I do too much it really hurts to walk

Best Moment this week: looking forward to my "glamping girls" weekend! Yippee!

  1. lindsey, remember that this early on you may feel movement for several days and then nothing for several days. i know it's hard to relax about it, but i'm sure everything is fine. i bet your dr. would see you for reassurance if you wanted...don't hesitate to call her :-) congrats on 19 weeks!

  4. You look great!
    I did not feel movement until around 21 weeks. I like to think my babies were just concentrating on growing.

  5. I agree with everyone above and I would LOVE to see the nursery!

    I will be thinking of you tomorrow. I know exactly how hard those days are. Lots and lots of prayers for you and Neil tomorrow.

  6. I am just now at 25 weeks starting to feel movement everyday. I always worried that I never felt Mason enough, so I guess my babies just like to sleep! ha!
    Go ahead and start wearing the maternity jeans-they are sooo comfy! (I waited a week too long to start wearing mine!)
