Week 19 update (Oct 25 - Nov 1, 2009)

How far along? 19 weeks!

Total weight gain/loss: Around 5-6 kilos.. I'll know for sure in 3 days in my monthly OB checkup.

Maternity clothes? Still wearing my mom's clothes and leggings.

Stretch marks? None! Cross fingers I'll never get it =)

Sleep: is GREAT!

Best moment this week: Hubby's birthday last Oct 31! We went to his family home and had an intimate dinner with our 2 families. The food? ALL seafoods! Super yummy! =) My photo above was taken before traveling to hubby's home.

Movement: Plenty! Baby kicks me left and right, up and down my abdomen. Crazy kid!

Food cravings: Seafood and spaghetti! We cooked the latter last Oct 27 and we had the former last Oct 28 (Yellowfin Resto) and 31. BURP!!

Gender: Toss up between boy and girl.. No preference.

Labor Signs: None!

Belly Button in or out? Still in =)

What I miss: Traveling by land long-distance without worrying about how it affects baby -_- This weekend was very travel-heavy as we celebrated hubby's birthday and All Soul's Day. From our home, we went to hubby's family home (90min) on Oct31. The next day, we went back to our home and traveled to my family's ancestral homes (120min), spent the day there and went back the same day to our home. 3 cities in 36 hours, PHEW!

What I am looking forward to: Baby's ultrasound and celebrating the 20th week of our pregnancy next week ^_^

Weekly Wisdom: Don't feel bad that you're getting fat -- at least you have an excuse, you're pregnant after all! =) Gaining 25-35 pounds is just normal as long as you're eating healthy.

Milestones: My relatives seeing lil me with a pregnant belly for the first time =) Also, surviving the travel-heavy and food-gasmic weekend! Super tiring, I was full with food most of the time (which is really uncomfortable with my uterus pushing my stomach), but it was all worth it!
