19 Weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along:  19 weeks
Size of baby:  Baby Herrman is the size of a large mango (too bad I'm allergic to these!)
Total Weight Gain:  about 7 pounds
Maternity Clothes:  None yet, unless you count my Bella Band (being modeled above) that I can't live without now!
Gender:  We are finding out on Monday!!!
Sleep:  For the past month I've struggled with sleeping.  It has been hard for me to adjust to having to sleep on my side.  Lately I've discovered I can get comfortable if I surround myself with pillows.
What I miss: Iced mochas from McDonalds and steamy hot baths (it's all worth it though!)
Cravings:  Potatoes in any form and anything with lots of cheese.  I also crave fruit.
Symptoms: I think the nausea has finally left completely. Besides heartburn and frequent bathroom breaks, I don't really have any major symptoms to report.
Best Moment This Week:  Feeling the baby move more and more!


We are so excited to find out on Monday if this little baby is a boy or a girl.  I haven't really had any strong feelings one way or another about what it is.  We will be so excited either way!  It will be really nice to be able to start planning the nursery and buying some cute boy or girl clothes! 

Speaking of baby clothes, here are the outfits that Eric and I picked out a year and a half ago.  We bought them after our first visit with our fertility specialist in Wichita.  We both picked out one outfit for a boy and a girl (the ones I picked out are on the right).  I can't wait to find out which outfits our first little baby will get to wear!




What do you think the baby is?  Boy or Girl?  Tell us your guess using the poll at the top of the page!

Hebrews 2:2
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

I love the outfits. I have changed my mind back and forth quite a few times so I am not sure....however my kids think it is going to be a girl. Kaden has even been working on girl name ideas for you while trying to fall asleep at night. He has tried to get me to e-mail them to you. Some of them are pretty cute :) Either way we are all very excited to find out.

My, What a cute little tummy (bump)you have, Allie. :)

All the outfits are darling. Can't wait to find out. I'm really glad I don't work tomorrow, so I can be free to enjoy my day knowing who my grandchild is! I am kind of feeling like you are having a girl, too, but I have changed my mind several times. Glad we don't have to wait much longer! Yippeee!
