19.4 Weeks

I figured I could do a little update on life right now.  I am still at home, still jobless, while Nelson is working and going to school.  I spend my days hanging out with my dog, cleaning, cooking, watering the garden, and resting.  I am actually rather content, but who knows what is in store next!  This morning I actually woke up at 5:45 to do the Insanity Full Body Work Out with a couple of other girls in my ward.  There were a few modifications I had to make in some of the routines, but overall it was a blast.  I haven't had such a good work out in a while.

 Baby Survey:

How far along? 19.4 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I don't know, we don't have a scale.  I don't think I've gained very much though. 

Sleep: Not the best.  The other night I couldn't sleep and then ended up getting major hip/back pain in my right side in the wee hours of the morning. ]=  Fortunately I had Nelson there to give me a blessing and a massage.  

Interesting Dreams- I have had the most bizarre dreams.  Yesterday morning while I was in bed, waking up when I legitimately thought that Sam and Talmage were here at the house and that they had come in through our bedroom window.  They were there to just grab something for Talmage while in town.  I even thought I could hear someone playing on the piano.  However, while I felt very aware of my body in my bed I couldn't seem to move it to get up and say anything.  I really woke up a few minutes later and found out that none of this was true, of course.  In the middle of last night I was sleeping soundly when all of the sudden I woke up, looked up at the ceiling and thought I saw a massive spider with glow in the dark feet.  I immediately wrenched the covers over my head and tried crawling over Nelson to turn on the light.  He was very confused and by the time I made it out from the covers and by the door I stepped on the extension cord on the floor and thought it was some other type of bug and jumped right back into bed.  Then I had to convince Nelson to wake up enough to turn on the lights and check for the spider/bug.  Again, nothing was there.  I am glad that he loves me [=  

Best moment this week: Well this past weekend I really started feeling the baby move!  By far the coolest thing.  I can even see my lower belly move when I feel her.  Today she was pretty active for about twenty minutes straight just poking around.  It is so exciting to finally feel her. 

Worst moment this week: Thinking that there was a massive spider with glow in the dark feet above me in bed, hah.

Movement: She's moving!  

Symptoms: I am still tired, my belly is getting bigger!

 Food cravings: Nothing in particular, maybe Dr. Pepper, or cheese. 

Food aversions: I haven't had any, yay!

  
Gender Prediction: Girl.

Labor Signs:none

Belly Button in/ out: Still in.


What I miss: being able to wear all of my jeans ]=

What I am looking forward to: I get another ultrasound next week!  

Weekly Wisdom: In life we can only do our best and trust in the Lord.
