19 Weeks +

Two days until we find out what we're having!! We are beyond excited! I can tell you who is not too excited, the family, because we are keeping it a secret until Christmas so we can hide little ornaments on their Christmas tree's and have them search for the answer. A week and 3 days of keeping the secret, we can do this :) I still continue to think we've got a sweet boy on board, but I also think all the daddy's girl-"sayers" are getting to me. Every time I've talked about the baby this past week I've caught myself saying "she".

Everything else has been good. My cough only becomes an issue now right after I eat and usually goes away pretty quickly, so I think the medication is helping out. As annoying as it is, I can live with this if it sticks around for the long haul. Sleeping at night has increasingly become more uncomfortable. My back has been hurting when I sleep on my side so I spend the night flipping from one side to another. I also keep finding myself waking up on my back which can cause the blood flow to the baby to be cut off. It's mostly only an issue when you're bigger like 28 weeks and on, but it's never too early to start. If using a pillow under my one side doesn't help I may have to try some wedges.  More stuff in bed at night...great!

People are also starting to comment more on my belly as it gets bigger. No major belly grabbers yet except for our mom's.  I had an evening event for work the other day at our local wine bar.  I wasn't wearing an outfit that really showed off my bump but the hot chocolate and water gave me away. A lot of my clients were finding out for the first time. That's super weird, not only having your work know but now all the clients you visit as well.  But on the list of weird things pregnancy brings, that's pretty low.

19 Weeks on the dot, almost halfway!
