19 weeks

Baby M is the size of a mango...at least at week 19, though he's more like a 20 week baby. And he is covered with some nasty cheesy stuff now that is protecting his skin from the amniotic fluid so he's not all wrinkly when he is born. At least it has a good purpose. :) His arms and legs are also in proportion now. And if you look at my ticker, he is starting to get squished a little in there, though movement is def. not a problem! My anterior placenta is slightly annoying at times because it makes feeling him harder and less consistant. When I do feel him, it's always to the right or to the left on my belly, never in the middle. A few days ago, I just happened to have my hand in the right spot and felt him kick on the outside! Let me tell you, he does not kick on command! You just have to be in the right spot at the right time - at least for now.



We had a really productive weekend! We have ordered our crib and dresser/changer combo! Here are pics:

It'll be here in 7-10 days! Now, I have some motivation to get that room cleaned out!

We went to Smithfield yesterday to the outlets and bought up some awesome clothes! We had so much fun! Everything we got we got on sale AND had coupons for. My favorite buy of the day, which may become his going home outfit, is this:

Isn't this just the cutest thing ever! We found it at Hartstrings. I LOVE that store. Don't buy anything NOT on sale, as it is expensive, but when you can hit a sale or have a coupon it's great! The quality is wonderful. I am in love with this store. It has, by far, the best boy clothes I've found - which is hard to do.

Here is a picture of my 19 week belly measuring 20 weeks :):

Hopped on the scale today and still only up 1 lb. My other pregnant co-workers are jealous. ;) As long as the baby is health (which clearly he is) I'm ok with whatever.

Today, I've GOT to do some school work. And I'm going to start working on that soon-to-be nursery, getting it cleaned out. I may scrapbook a little today if I have time. And, I'd like to go outside and enjoy the weather. Glad it's warming up some! I am over the cold!
