Today has been absolutely wonderful. The boys let me sleep in until 8:00am, and Adam had already gotten up and left for the store to grab some stuff for brunch! Sam and Jack gave me a wonderful Mother’s Day card and Adam surprised me with an AWESOME gift– a cleaning service!!! Yes, you can all be jealous of me for having him as my husband 😉 So far today, I’ve slept (a lot), taken a walk with the family, read my book (the 3rd Shades of Grey), and played with the kids on the porch. Nothing better.

A few days ago we went to the park, and because neither Sam nor Jack was into the swings (weird), I decided to throw them in the grass for an impromptu photo shoot. That didn’t go too well either. Why you ask? Well… Sam has a double ear infection (AGAIN), and they BOTH have hand, foot and mouth– considering we rarely go anywhere and they’re not in daycare, I was not too happy about this! Fevers, crying, not wanting to eat… the last 2 days were kind of terrible. Luckily, they are back to normal today, minus a few rash areas.

Week 19 / Mother’s Day 2012

How far along?
19 weeks!

Maternity clothes?
Not yet. I’m pretty lucky in that most days I wear comfy clothes anyway. I’m also a lover of maxi dresses!

Sleep:
Getting plenty and not uncomfortable yet! Just the boys being sick has gotten in the way of a full night.

Best moment this week:
Felt baby move for the 1st time this week!

Movement?
See above.

Food cravings?
Not really. I didn’t have any with the boys either.

Showing?
Yep! Although it still looks a little bit like I’ve just let myself go vs. being pregnant!

Gender Prediction:
Girl. Last week it was a boy, so who knows!

Labor Signs?
Heck NO!

Mood Temperament:
Overall, pretty happy! I have to admit, with the boys being sick this week, I did have a few headaches and pity parties that Adam doesn’t have a “typical” job.

Milestones:
Feeling baby move!
