19 week recap

I'm stranded at home again today, this time due to major flooding in the valley. Our town is now an island with all roads leading to water. I'm pretty glad I'm having a summer baby since there shouldn't be any threat of floods by then and the road to the hospital won't be underwater.

So as for baby updates, I'm just growing and growing right now. (Click on the picture above and you can see the changes from week to week) I can feel my belly move when I walk and getting up from a sitting position is a little more challenging than usual. I can just imagine myself a few weeks from now getting stuck on the floor at the grocery store while bending down to grab a jar of pickles off the bottom shelf! And speaking of pickles, they are on the top of my list of "pregnancy cravings" shortly followed by ice cream, fruit, and ice water.

On a frustrating note, I've been having more back/hip pain and trouble sleeping. I've been building a small fort of pillows each night to plop onto but some nights it's just impossible to get comfortable!

Sean and I are getting really excited for our next appointment (Jan.19th) so we can finally see our baby and hopefully find out if it's a boy or girl!

Here's a cute picture of Sean giving Josie a bath after getting filthy outside. Only a few more months and it won't be scared Josie getting lathered up, but a little human baby! :)

That's all the news for now, but I'm sure I'll be posting again pretty soon!
