17, 18 & 19 Week Bumpdates

I've combined these three weeks because I never got around to doing a full write up on any of them (#kickingmyself!). We were in the midst of our big move from New York back to Utah and readjusting to life in Logan with new jobs, ect. and I failed to thoroughly document everything. So, here are the little bits and pieces that I did fill out because some is better than none!

How far along? 17 weeks
Weight Gain? Don’t have an exact number but I totally started popping this week! Yes… mostly when I push out everything I got but I HAVE A BABY BUMP :D
Size of baby? A tangy pomegranate!
Maternity Clothes? Even though my bump is starting to pop, I am still comfortable in most of my clothes.

How far along? 18 weeks
Size of baby? A sweet little sweet potato :)
Pregnancy Symptoms? Acne gone wild
Gender Prediction? Beginning to think it might be a little girl because my skin is totally out of control and I read online that “girls steal your beauty”. Haha so in that case… that has to be what’s going on! But of course… ya never know! Can’t wait to find out for sure in just TWO WEEKS AH!
Weird pregnancy moment? There were two pretty funny stories from work this week. The first is having someone totally touch my belly, which caught me off guard and made me laugh because I know that is something I will have to get used to. People just love the bump! It was fine cause I know her so it wasn’t a complete stranger (I'm sure that will happen eventually though!) And then this second one makes me LOL everytime! Haha so we have had some new people helping out in my department and one day when I walked in one of the new guys said “Hey, I just found out you are pregnant! Congrats!” and then immediately followed it up with “The other day I was thinking, dang… that girl sure goes to the bathroom a lot… but it all makes sense now!” HAHAHA omg I felt my face flush so hard because this stranger had noticed all my pee breaks! But, I  mean, it’s true. I sure do go to the bathroom a lot… can’t help it! Hahaha oh the things people say...
What I’m looking forward to? Honestly, I am majorly looking forward to getting back on birth control after I have this baby so I can regulate these crazy hormones and get this acne under control! I feel like I am in the 8th grade again :(

How far along? 19 weeks
Size of baby? A zesty zucchini!
Cravings? Chocolate chip pancakes
Anything making you queasy? Nothing really! Just HUNGRY ALL THE TIME!
Gender Prediction? This week I am still thinking baby girl because of the blemish factor I mentioned last week! Haha ALSO my sweet cravings are definitely back. I think about chocolate chip pancakes all the time which is back to how I was pre-pregnancy lol. And apparently that is another symptom of baby girl.
Baby movement? We flew to Wisconsin to see my BFF Abby and go to an Aggies football game in the Wisconsin stadium and I THOUGHT maybe I had felt baby moving around as we were landing… but I think it was just the usual butterflies that happen during the pressure change. I wanted to convince myself and Kendal that’s what it was so bad… but I just honestly can’t be sure!
Best moment this week? Our entire weekend in Wisconsin was incredible! We ate so much delicious food and did so many fun activities. The trip was a mixture of a birthday gift to me/ living out one of my dreams of visiting Abby out at her college (we’ve been talking about making this trip happen since she decided to go there during our senior year in high school)/ living out one of Kendal’s dreams of going to an away game out of state/ and babymoon since we don’t have any other big trips planned before our little one gets here. It was wonderful to spend time with one of my best friends who I don’t get to see very often. Wisconsin is such a beautiful place and ohhhhh boy those cheese curds were to die for! I don’t usually like cheese curds (the squeakiness freaks me out!) but when in rome, right?! We went hard on all things dairy because we weren’t about to pass up an authentic Wisconsin culture experience (we kinda consider ourselves foodies because we loooove trying new things).
Weird pregnancy moment? We were walking past some stores with glass windows and I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror and realized I was looking quite pregnant! This little baby is certainly growing in there :)
What I’m looking forward to? We find out baby’s gender NEXT WEEK!!!! AHHHHH!!!! Last thoughts anyone? Boy or girl?!
