Mood- Really loving being pregnant and already so in love with the little guy growing inside me. I started to feel anxious about the anatomy scan scheduled for week 19. I know several people with "heart babies" and felt so nervous. We already had things to worry about due to my uterus so I just tried to stay positive. Gordon always told me we'd get through anything we had to. He was right. We did. :)
How my body feels- My back started hurting around this time. Since I carried William on the right side of my body that is the side that hurt. I was most uncomfortable when I sat for long periods of time. Putting a pillow behind that side of my body really helped. I even kept a pillow in my car for my drive home and had to take my moshi pillow to the movies. Otherwise movie night was a no go for me. haha. Don't worry I washed the pillow as soon as we'd get home! Sleep- Sleeping on my side at night was hard to get used to. I would wake up and be on my back so I always used the big pregnancy pillow. I put it between my legs and behind my back. I started getting up again at 3am to go to the bathroom.
Cravings- Carrots with ranch and fruit.....especially cherries (which I had never had before pregnancy)!
Weight gain- 1 pound so up 5.
Movement- He was super active. Especially around 9am.
Doctor Appointment- We had the big anatomy scan on January 19th. It was music to my ears when they said he had a beautiful heart. They couldn't have said anything nicer!!!! He had a healthy looking cord and all his major organs where there and looked to be functioning properly. William would not cooperate with them towards the end. He was really stubborn (yikes...not a good sign for us)! They weren't able to get a good picture of his C-spine (neck area) so we had to schedule another appointment for 2 weeks later.
Important things this week- I flew to Dallas after the doctor's appointment on Friday to shop for baby furniture with my mother in law! We had so much fun and found lots of great things!! I don't think I've ever walked so much in my life.....this mama's feet HURT! We would go out to dinner after shopping and by 9pm I was passed out.
