19 weeks with Cheney

 
 
How far along?: 19 weeks...one plus of a scheduled C-section is that I can say I am pretty much to the halfway point of this pregnancy! It is going by SO fast!

How big is your baby?: the size of a sweet potato
 
Total weight gain: up 4lbs

Sex: a baby GIRL!
 
Maternity clothes: yes, yes, yes. I keep thinking it is time to retire the jeans & then it gets cold again.
 
  Sleep: Baby girl is letting me sleep just fine! However, baby boy Griff is not. He is getting over a double ear infection, has had a horrible diaper rash from his meds, & is starting to think it is cool to party in our room for a few hours every night. It's pretty much like having a newborn.
 
Symptoms: I am starting to get the hip pain from sleeping on my sides at night. That is starting a whole lot sooner this time around!
 
Movement: I don't think I felt Grayson move until about 23-24 weeks. I had an anterior placenta with Griffin and didn't feel any movement until 22 weeks. I keep hoping I will feel her soon but no luck so far! I love baby kicks!
 
Best moment this week: We were so productive this weekend! We have a lot to do before this baby arrives...including switching all 3 extra bedrooms in our house. We started over the weekend by cleaning out the attic, taking 2 car loads of stuff to Goodwill, & rearranging/organizing the closets. The boys now officially have a shared closet in their soon-to-be new room & Cheney has a closet in her soon-to-be nursery!
 
Food cravings: is food one? all the food?

Belly button in or out: in.
 
What I miss: in the midst of a double ear infection and diaper rash hell, I kinda sorta wish I could have a glass of wine.
 
What I'm looking forward to: we have our anatomy scan on Tuesday morning! I'm still paranoid that maybe perhaps Cheney is a boy...haha! Also, we will plan Cheney's official birthday (unless she comes early) at my next OB appointment!
