Baby Brittain Bumpdate: Week 18 & 19

Well I said that I wasn't going to let myself get behind on blogging. I guess I lied. This pregnancy thing does not mess around! :) I think I will be able to keep up with blogging more when I am out of school for the summer! I am also a little annoyed with myself because I didn't get a 17 week picture! Oh well! Here we go with 18 and 19 weeks! 

18 Weeks


How far along: 18 Weeks (I look like a major dork in this photo:)

 Size of baby: It seems like everybody says something different, but the bump.com says sweet potato!

 Gender: It's a Girl! Emerson Ryan

Total weight gain: None yet. Morning sickness still has me down about 7 pounds.

Movement: Yes! Well I think! I feel light little taps and flutters. It is an amazing/weird feeling!

 Sleep: Sleeping great! Can't get enough of it! I usually have to get up once a night and go to the bathroom, but I don't think that is that bad!

What I miss: Not getting sick and not getting so tired so easily! I know this will pass and I know this is just part of the experience!

Cravings: None yet. Just welcoming any food that stays down! :)

Symptoms: I am finally down to just morning sickness! It is amazing how good it feels to not get sick at night! I am also having some headaches, and tingling of my hands and legs.

 Maternity clothes: I finally broke down and bought some maternity Capri's from Pea in the Pod. They are really cute and they were 20$ off plus if you donated to march of dimes you got 10% off.

 Best moments this week: Feeling little girl move! :)


19 Weeks

How far along: 19 Weeks

 Size of baby: Mango!


 Gender: It's a Girl! Emerson Ryan



Total weight gain: So far about 3 pounds!

Movement: Yes! I am definitely sure that what I had been feeling is little girl moving around! I can feel her a lot stronger this week and have even felt her on the outside of my belly once!

 Sleep: Sleeping great! Can't get enough of it! I usually have to get up once a night and go to the bathroom, but I don't think that is that bad!


What I miss: I am feeling pretty good this week! So, I am going to go ahead and say Nothing!


Cravings: I don't really have any cravings. Food still just doesn't sound that good to me. If I were to consider it a craving, I am enjoying pop tarts, fruit, and anything salty!

Symptoms: Still getting sick in the morning from time to time, but coming from 3-4 times a day 3 times a week is not that bad! I am also having tingling in my hands at night!


 Maternity clothes: I am mainly still wearing my normal clothes! Dresses and most shirts still fit. I have to wear the Belly Band with my work pants and normal jeans. I am also noticing that I am not a fan of the Belly Band. It feels weird and like it is always rolling down my body! ha!


 Best moments this week: Feeling little girl move! :) and feeling like a human again with a little more energy!

Baby Brittain is...


I had a feeling all along that she was going to be a girl and its turns out that my feelings were right! We are so excited and cant wait to meet her! As of right now her name is Emerson Ryan and I hope that it sticks but it still seems so far away that I hope I don't change my mind! 

I cant wait to meet this sweet girl and spoil her rotten!
