19 weeks

How Far Along?  19 weeks exactly.

Baby this Week?  Our baby BOY is about 6 inches long from head to bum.  His senses are becoming more developed.  He's moving around quite a bit (which I can feel him subtly.) He can respond to light. Mostly he's just growing away in there! And I'm loving feeling the kicks!

Symptoms?  As you all know...I've been very sick so I won't go into all those details. As of right now, I'm managing ok with the nausea.  I wouldn't say I feel great, but I'm headed in the right direction! Moving on.  My other symptoms..  My back has started to ache a bit. My butt muscles are sore where I've been getting my progesterone shots.  Heartburn.  Oh and my hands have started going numb again while I sleep. So I started wearing my wrist guard thingies again. Hopefully, the carpal tunnel won't be as severe this time!  Oh yeah...and smells. Oh god, the smells. Ugghhh...  I could be feeling OK but if I smell something stinky, I feel soooo sick. It doesn't even have to be stinky! Roses. Fresh cut grass.  It's so random...

Cravings/Aversions?  I wouldn't say I'm craving things...but I can tolerate sandwiches. Granola bars. Fruit snacks.  And a few other things but it's a very small range of food that I can stomach right now!  And aversions are everything else. Lol


Goals for the Week?  I am just hoping to make it through the week with no really bad nausea spells! I still have waves of it where I'll have to go lay down for a while.  But it's nothing like it was. It's tolerable...

Mason?  Mason is growing like crazy. He's 10 months old today. I just can't even imagine my life without him anymore.  When he stays at Garretts parents house, our house feels so empty...especially now that he's such a busy little guy.
