19 Weeks Tomorrow




I'll be 19 weeks tomorrow and I feel like I don't look any different than I did at 14 weeks. SOMEDAY my belly will pop.


Today was a pretty eventful day.


Back story: I've felt baby since 16 weeks but haven't felt him/her for the past 2 days. I called the doc and they called back and told me to go to the ER because Labor * Delivery (L&D) at my hospital won't see you unless you are 20 weeks.


Honestly, I'm smart enough to realize that Baby isn't very big and that I might not feel every movement at this point. When the nurse called me back and told me I needed to go to the hospital I was in shock. (I actually asked her, "Really? I'm only 19 weeks. Are you sure?")


She told me that if I've been feeling Baby daily and all of a sudden wasn't I need to get checked.
So, off to the ER I went. I checked in at 1:45 and left at 4:00 so it wasn't too bad for an ER trip. They did an ultrasound and then the radiologist looked at it. The doctor came in and told me everything was OK and gave me the print out from the radiologist showing that the spine, stomach, heart, and kidneys all look great. I still have an ultrasound at my doctor next Thursday to do a gender check and measure some more organs. Everything they did measure was exactly the right size, though.


I have the strongest feeling that this baby is a girl. I wasn't excited about it at first, but now I'm ecstatic, lol. Honestly, now that I know Baby is measuring healthy I don't care WHAT the sex is, but we'll still find out next week!
