How far along? 19 weeks. Baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and is 6 inches head to bottom.
Maternity clothes? Not yet, but soon I’ll need dress pants for work. I was thinking about ordering some online from Gap maternity….has anyone tried them? I’m unsure of what size to get since everything I have from Gap seems to be a different size and sometimes maternity clothes run big.
Stretch marks? Not yet. I’m using Palmer’s every night. I’m almost out of it….next I think I’ll try Burt’s Bee’s Mama Bee Belly Butter.
Sleep: I get up about twice each night to go to the bathroom, but other than that it’s okay.
Best moment this week: Feeling the baby move! The movements are stronger and much more noticeable now. It’s such a crazy feeling.

Miss Anything? Not really…but I did make homemade chocolate chip cookies for the husband over the weekend and really really wanted to take a bite of cookie dough! Giving up alcohol has been super easy since I’m not much of a drinker, but man I wanted that cookie dough. But I was good and resisted.
Movement: There’s no doubt about it now! I can feel little baby moving around and it is the best!
Food cravings: Easter ham and potato casserole. We didn’t have either of these on Easter and now it’s all I can think about! Especially since so many of you have posted photos and recipes.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still just carrots and broccoli.
Gender: We find out on Monday! I can’t wait! My mom and I both took the day off of work so that we can get our shop on! I’m so excited.

Mood: Excited
Looking forward to: Finding out the gender on Monday and finally being able to buy boy or girl clothes!

I'm crossing my fingers for a girl…the little girl in the red shoes ๐ but then again, I think I'll be just as excited for a boy…I'm thinking girl, though ๐ Can't wait to find out!!
Oh I cannot wait to hear! I hope you dont leave us in suspense for TOO long! Your teeny tiny baby bump is adorable. I have a few things from Gap Maternity and I feel like they fit pretty well. I ordered my normal size (except maternity version).
Looking great Julie! Very excited to hear the gender news! Will my Connor have a little buddy, or a future girlfriend? Feeling baby move is so exciting! Enjoy every second because before you know it, he or she will be here. On another note, I bought my maternity clothes at Target and was very happy. Same size, just maternity style ๐
I will be on pins and needles till Monday!!!!! I think it's a girl.
I just loved this post Julie! I was smiling from ear to ear the entire time ๐ I love that you are documenting everything and your creative way of posting how many weeks you are its super cute! Congratulations again!
Ahhh- I can't wait to hear the news next week! What a perfect idea to take off work and immediately go shopping when you know the gender. I've definitely noted that for future reference ๐ You look great!!
Glad things are going well so far!
P.S. When I'm pregnant someday I so want you to come to my place and make these adorable signs for each week! Too cute!
You look adorable! Can't wait to find out what you are having – so exciting!
Can't wait to find out!! ๐ I'm loving your shirt girl..I have it too. such a steal!
OMG! I love that you and your mom both took the day off so you can go shopping! SO CUTE!!! ๐ Can't wait to find out! haha
YAYYY! Can't wait to find out if your little one is a boy or girl! So so exciting! Love that you and your mama are taking the day off to go shopping! SO fun!!
AHHH you find out on MONDAY!!! I'm so excited for you I can hardly stand it. That is so so so soon! Glad you and your mom took the day off to shop, that's too cute!
And I love that you are feeling him/her moving. That is the coolest feeling ever!
cant wait to hear if it is a boy or girl! sooo exciting!
gap maternity = best thing EVER. they're 100% true to size. so whatever size you normally wear in their dress pants, order that. their maternity jeans are pretty much the best thing to happen to my pregnancy. AND some baby gaps have maternity sections in them. . . soooo you might even be able to try on in store!
I have a recipe for egg-less cookie dough… want it? ๐
I am guessing girl for you, can't wait to find out if I am right!
So exciting! You have to do a post before Monday with all your "symptoms" and compare with the old wives tales. I went through all of them and they were equally split between boy and girl. They're not accurate at all, but fun to do!
So excited to hear the gender!!!
GREAT photo, girl! I'm 23 weeks today. ๐ I'm new here and I LOVE the look and feel of your site so far! Off to check out some more posts. Have a wonderful week! xo
yay! can't wait to hear the news!! are you thinking one way or the other?
You look amazing! I can't wait to hear if the little one is a boy or a girl!
Awe that's awesome that your feeling kicks now!!! Must be the coolest feeling ever can't wait til I get to experience it one day (: I say girl!
You are the cutest pregnant mama EVER!! I can't wait to find out what you're sweet baby is going to be!!
You're just glowing!
I'm looking forward to Monday……Love you!
eeeee! SO EXCITING! My mom told me she used olive oil on her belly to prevent stretch marks…she's a crazy Greek lady and uses olive oil on everything, but apparently it worked! ๐
Can't wait to find out what you're having!

Gap Maternity pants are great!! Love the fit and quality. You wear your prepregnancy size. Motherhood Maternity pants are much less expensive and fit well too.
You are the cutest prego!! Tiny belly ad your half way!! Go you!!!
