19 Weeks!

As of yesterday I am 25 years old and 19 weeks pregnant!

Well we got more snow this weekend but luckily not enough to stop my dad from making it to my house! Caleb and my dad got the nursery painted in no time on Saturday. It looks great, I think the color turned out the perfect shade of yellow! I was a little worried we had some issues with the paint samples but it all worked out. Rachael and Hailey came to help too. Hailey is 8 months old so we put her on the floor with all of her toys while we tried to clean and sand all the walls in the bathroom so they can be painted one of these days! She kept crawling into the bathroom to see what we were doing though.

Sunday I did my workout with all the squatting and free weights and weird leg lifts, etc that Dr. Oz recommends during pregnancy. (Caleb makes fun of me because if Dr. Oz said it I believe it!) So after I did that I thought I would do some abs and layed down to do them and I felt the baby moving. I think she was saying what the heck is going on here you've been bouncing around like a crazy person. I'm very excited to start feeling her all the time. The few times I've been sure it was the baby I was laying down.

For the most part I've been feeling really good lately. I've had a few days here and there where I feel dizzy and light headed. And some days I have cramps from all the growing and stretching going on. But overall this trimester is much easier than the first. The first trimester was so rough I was wishing I was having twins so I would never have to be pregnant again!

Saturday we were laying on the couch and watching a movie. I was looking at how big my belly was getting and I saw/felt my belly button and said "Aaaaah, Caleb my belly button is turning inside out!" I used to have this tiny deep bellow button and now its shallow and wider. I can actually see all the little crevices now, lol. I think its going to be inside out completely pretty soon. It is so weird to see my body go through all of these changes. It's very strange for me to look in the mirror!

I took the day off for my birthday yesterday and Gran took me shopping for Maternity clothes. I finally couldn't wait any longer and it is so great to have some cute things that actually fit. Its not fun to squeeze into clothes that are too small but I guess even if you aren't pregnant you have probably learned that one already. We had to drive all over town to find maternity stores but really found some great things and had a lot of fun shopping. Most things we bought are for summer/spring though so I'm ready for winter to go away!

Off to pick up the in-laws from the airport!
