Week 19!

Wow we are at Week 19!

Baby is now the size of a big mango!

 

This week baby is working on developing his 5 senses. Some research shows that he can now hear my voice and will start to recognize his Dad's voice soon.

Cravings:  Hummus,  scrambled eggs, green olives, Brazilian black beans and raspberries- not all together of course!. My love affair with cheese continues especially string cheese! Ohh and it can't just be any cheese it has to be Polly-O string cheese at room temperature.

Pregnancy craving I gave into yesterday ...Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream which, promptly rewarded me with some serious nausea. Thankfully I only had a little.

Note to Baby G- Why, Why do you hate sweets Baby?  Don't you realize that you are third generation pastry chef and baker?   If you don't let me eat anything sweet I am afraid of what is going to happen after you are born. I am going to go on a sweet eating rampage stealing pudding cups off of the hospital trays!

Mood: Happy.  However, I am turning into a pregnancy cliché! I find myself crying at commercials and songs in my car. Then I laugh because it's so ridiculous.

Energy levels: starting to feel like my old self . I am almost 100% better now... just a little residual ear ache.

Aversions: peanut butter, almond butter, chicken is blacklisted again!

Looking forward to: the housekeeper coming this week!

Not looking forward: to the heat wave headed our way!

Excited about: feeling the baby move several times a day now.

Top two moments this week: My Brother's surprise reaction and.....

 getting to see this little guy again. How cute is that little nose!!

Baby items bought: Does a maternity dress for me count?

 

Funny moment at work:! I went to tell my Supervisor I was pregnant and her reaction:  Get in line you are the third one to tell me that this week!  That is three out of the fifteen women that work with me. There must be something in the water! Truthfully she was ecstatic and is VERY supportive!
