PUMPKIN BUMP | WEEK 19





Officially 19 weeks holy cow! I can’t describe how wonderful it feels to announce our pregnancy and to hear everyone’s kind and thoughtful words of congratulations. I’m sure it was quite the surprise for many because only a handful of people knew!

My belly appears to be growing a little each day! At the beginning of the week there wasn't much bump and now it has officially popped I believe! Here’s a little update of my 19 weeks so far.

HOW FAR ALONG// 19 weeks. I can almost say I’m already 5 months along… right?

GENDER// A girl! I hope the ultrasound tech is right because I am the suckiest person at returning things. 

BABY SIZE//  As big as a mango, wow! During my doctor’s appointment they said baby is measuring exactly where they need to be at 19 weeks and is about 6 inches and 8.5 ounces, almost a pound!

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN// 5 pounds at last weeks doctors appointment. I’m good with dat.

MATERNITY CLOTHES// None yet! Luckily all of my beloved pairs of AE jeans are super stretchy and I did just buy a new pair of black jeggings at Target that fit very comfortably that I’ll be able to wear after. ALSO - these pants at Target. If you’re pregnant, get some. If you’re not pregnant, get some. They have a built in band, yet they’re not maternity? So freaking comfy and loungy. Target rules. 

STRETCH MARKS// Nope — still lathering up on that cocoa butter! 

SLEEP// Uhhh friggen HORRIBLE. I now know what it feels like to go numb in my legs and hips. Tossing and turning occurs a lot throughout the night and I just don’t do body pillows. Sucksalot. 

BEST MOMENTS THIS WEEK// Announcing to the world! aka - Facebook & Insta. 

MISS ANYTHING// I think my feet are growing. Can they shrink instead? I think all of my shoes are starting to not fit. 

MOVEMENT// You know… I feel weird nudges while I’m laying down at night or after I’ve eaten. Whenever I notice it I stop and stare and then nothing happens haha.

FOOD CRAVINGS// Little baby oranges. Those tangelos, or cuties, or halos or whatever the hell you call them. They is gud and I eat too many at a time. 

ANYTHING MAKING YOU FEEL NAUSEOUS// This babe has been SO good to me that I’ve felt great more than anything.

SYMPTOMS// Very tired, especially now that I’m back at work for the season and my sleepless nights are in full effect. 

BELLY BUTTON IN OR OUT// Still in, but let me tell you - my belly is fuzzzzzzyyyyy. I have developed a very pronounced ‘happy trail’. It’s not the infamous linea nigra either, it’s straight up hair. 

HAPPY OR MOODY// Very happy, so happy I just may start to sprout a glow here soon! I hope!

LOOKING FORWARD TO// Hmmm summer so I can sport dresses, flip flops, and a bikini. 

I'm just so damn happy!
