19 Weeks--Baby #2!

Life in General

This past weekend we put up a few Christmas decorations!! Yay! I have been in the holiday mood for quite a while now. I know people say Thanksgiving hasn't even happened yet, but who says your house can't have lighted garland up for Thanksgiving?! It certainly doesn't look like fall outside anymore!

Corbin's favorite meal lately is "thoop"! Specifically "Mane-o thoop!" He's such a character. His new favorite saying is, "thank you, Mommy" for every little thing! He's been busy with skating on Monday nights (going great so far!), daycare all day, and chasing Jersey around in the evenings. He also loves to do his favorite chores of unloading the dishwasher and laundry. He's such a good helper!

On Sunday, we had a girls get-together and did some string art! I'd never done it before, and it was so fun!

 

Pregnancy Symptoms

I've been feeling pretty great overall this week. The only thing I've been dealing with is a cold/sinus thing that I'm not sure is pregnancy related at all or not. My throat gets sore at night and everything drains in the morning. Baby has been busy in the evenings! Movements I've felt haven't been super strong yet, but definitely know there's something in there!

Baby Updates

Baby C is now about the size of a mango! (8.5oz, 6"). Baby's brain is growing and developing all kinds of senses this week! Baby can also start to hear muffled sounds from the outside as well as my heartbeat :)
