19 weeks: halloween!

happy halloween from baby h3b!

i swear these 19 weeks have flown by and i'm not far from the half way point, now. i'm feeling pretty good and enjoying pregnancy overall. not much has changed, except the roundness of the belly. i feel like i'm getting winter pudge, which happens for me every year anyway, but is magnified by the burgeoning stomach area. i have grown out of all of my pre-pregnancy bras and my face has taken an extra chin for fun. jeans shopping just before november isn't fun, but do that while pregnant and (after a whopper with cheese) it's about the worst thing ever. i did find some $200 ones that fit so great, but i think i need to buy baby supplies with that kind of money.

baby h3b continues to roll around and kick everyday. the kicks are getting a bit more pronounced and it's nice to feel little hellos (like after i ate about how much candy is in my hands up there). i do think i'm in trouble, because the activity is strongest at night. it hasn't been the movement keeping me up, though. i get up to pee 2 times before the morning and finally kicked the dogs out of the bed so i could fit my new body pillow. my neck and back have been sore from poor sleep positioning, so i'm hoping i can align myself better for a few good nights before the real fun begins.

8 days until gender!
