19 Weeks!
We knew so early on with this baby, that we got very used to the "no one knows" mentality. But now that we're getting used to the "everyone knows" reality - it's like BOOM! I'm really far along already!
I still hesitate when people at work or relatives ask me how I'm feeling. It takes me a minute to realize they are asking about the baby. So it catches me off guard because it's not a common question to ask in a general friendly greeting like "how are you?"
Next week is the big 20 week mark and ultrasound where we will find out....nothing! :)
Showing & Growing
I'd say I "popped" 2 weeks ago. I moved mostly into maternity wear the 16th week, so by 17th week was when I started getting the double takes at work of people noticing the bump. I can still hide it when I wear some of my loose/flowing regular shirts, but for the most part - if you know I'm pregnant you can tell. It's not obvious to the world yet. Although, today I wore a fitted maternity shirt and I bet people who didn't know wondered if I was!
I think I'm doing good with eating, I'm not indulging too often. Gotta save those binges for the last couple months. I eat well most of the time.
My only cravings have really been meat (I could eat a burger every night!), cheese and sometimes really salty chips. So far I like/crave sweets less this time around than the other pregnancies. When I do want dessert, it's gotta be the real stuff. I don't just want a chips ahoy cookie. It's gotta be ice cream or fudge or something real good.
Movin' Minion
I've been feeling Minion move for a couple weeks now -- looking back at Silly Baby and Baby Punkin it was around 17 weeks too. So very consistent there! Even though this is the 3rd time around, those first few kicks felt pretty crazy!
