If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

It seems like this baby should be cooked by now, so it’s hard to believe I still am not halfway through this miraculous journey. My husband already thinks that I have had every symptom in the book, so I can’t imagine how the next 20 weeks are going to go. At least I will have some pictures to document my humongo transformation!

 

How Far Along: 19 weeks with one more week until the big gender reveal

Total Weight Gain: 12 pounds and steadily increasing

Food Cravings: Pizza! Pizza! Pizza! My favorite is by far Papa Murphy’s Gourmet Veggie Pizza. I’m like the Cookie Monster with pizza.

What I Miss: Soft cheeses for sure. My brother and I hit up Whole Foods yesterday, and I passed on all the heavenly samples, including a triple crème that was calling my name.

Symptoms: Headaches like it’s nobody’s business, but it is since they increase my grumpiness. Sorry hubby my hormones have jacked my body for the next five months.

Baby Movement: Still nothing. How can I not feel a grapefruit-sized baby moving in there?

Maternity Attire: I couldn’t resist a colorful dress at Target, but I’m still just buying regular clothes in larger sizes.

Hurl Factor: I pass a dog food factory on my way to work everyday, and it always makes me what to hurl. I don’t even want to think about what’s going on in there.

Annoyances: My new hombre hairstyle is making me cringe with anticipation of a lighter hairdo.

Weekly Highlight: I finalized my baby room mood board after picking up two crucial pieces this week, and I can’t wait to get started.

Did you design your baby room gender specific or more neutral?
