19 weeks 2 days pregnant. Grow baby Grow! On Valentines Day we will find out if we will be going with pink or blue bedding. Munchkin is the most active baby I've carried and I believe it's because of my plant-based diet. When I'm hungry the baby punches my stomach, when I have to pee the baby kicks my bladder and when I'm trying to fall asleep the little stubborn one decides to get in a rock hard position stretching across my belly and kicks me in the back making it super uncomfortable to get situated. A pillow between the legs is my bedtime cure. At least I'm not being woke in the middle of the night... yet! The baby (head to rump) is now the length from my fingertips to my wrist. Munchkin was staying still long enough for me to measure. My belly changes all different sizes throughout the day.. I blame that on bloating, which I've always had an issue with except for when I was all raw. Early in the morning I have a little bump (little smaller than what you see on the left) then by the evening (when this picture was taken) my belly looks very poked out! I'm using lots of extra virgin olive oil all over my body paying special attention to the stretch mark prone areas right after my showers. EVOO has helped me out tremendously. Yes, I still have stretch marks, but they are hardly noticeable now due to the food I eat combined with keeping my skin moisturized with one of the best natural products available.
Pregnancy cravings this week: Hot chili peppers & chocolate almond milk.
Exercise routine this week: M, T, Th, F treadmill for 30 minutes at a speed of 3.9 and stretching.
No bueno: foot cramping OUCH!! dizziness & ligament stretching in the lower abdomen.
Other baby news: Munchkin is working on its five senses and is roughly the size of a mango (6 inches and about 8.5 ounces).
