Midge: 19 Weeks

Hello everyone! This has been an exciting week. Baby Casinover is moving all over the place in there and I read at this stage is awake for up to 6 hours per day. Eddie and I couldn't wait til our next appointment next week to find out if baby was a boy or a girl, so we scheduled a sonogram this week to find out! More on that below....I know, it's killing you, you're probably already skipping down to that section! CHEATERS!

How far along? 19 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 12lbs gained (haven't weighed in, still)

Maternity clothes? I wanted to thank you all who left comments on your experiences and places where you found great maternity deals. I haven't checked them all out yet, but plan to. I did happen to stop over the weekend at Dapper & Dainty in Linthicum. I was heading to the airport to pick Eddie up, and had some time to kill before he arrived and it's right down the road. They did have a small selection of maternity things, Liz Lange, Motherhood brands etc., but none were the right sizes for me. Bummer. But they had a ton of adorable baby and toddler clothes. From what I could tell they were in great condition (some still with store tags on) and very affordable too! So if you're in the area, I would recommend checking it out. Also GAP had an amazing sale this week, 50% off on sale items, so I picked up a couple dresses for under $15, and a pair of preggo jeans for under$20! YIPPEEE!!

Stretch marks? Thankfully, still no.

Sleep: Falling asleep early, but am getting a few restless hours in the night.

Best moment this week: Baby gender reveal!!!

Miss Anything? Beer, I'm still craving beer!

Movement: Lots and lots of rolling around in there.

Food cravings: Cheeseburgers. Beer. French Fries. UGH.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope, still feeling great.

Have you started to show yet: Baby bump is growing out and up.

Gender: Ok, I'm sure most of you just skipped down to this section once you read that we found out this week. So let's just cut to the chase... I was right! IT'S A BOY!!!!

The sonogram technician was wonderful. As soon as she saw, she said, "Do you see what I'm seeing?" Eddie, replied, "Is that what I think it is??" and I said, "WHAT? I don't see it, where, what are we looking at!??" The technician pointed it out, r"ight there! There's the penis and testes! It's clear as day!" Then Eddie did a happy dance, I squealed and couldn't stop laughing with pure joy. It was such a happy moment that I will never forget.
