Pregnant in Florida at 19 weeks and 1 day. My belly is getting bigger. We saw you through an ultrasound when you were 17 weeks. I was so worried about you. I know you’re still inside me as I’m still throwing up continuously and my belly is getting bigger, but I can’t help my anxious, paranoid self. Your father was able to convince our doctor to take a peak at you as we were the last patient. I was so excited to see you as you were moving around and your heart beat was strong. My fears for the moment were replaced with excitement and wonder.
Sometime during this second trimester, we also bought a fetal doppler heartbeat monitor. I am doing my best not to use it often as I know it would probably annoy you.
At 19 weeks, you’re as big as a Mango, my favorite fruit. I can’t wait until you’re out and a little older so we can go pig out on a lot of exotic fruits. I still have bad reflux, nausea and vomiting so I still have to use Pepcid and Diclegis. Believe me, I am doing my best not to take it daily but it’s hard to get through a work day having to be at the bathroom half the time.
This weekend we are planning to go hang out with some of your father’s friends. I am hoping that they will bring me (us) to a theme park. See that, baby? You’ve been to a lot of places here in Florida for the most part.
I can’t wait until next month until we see you again! We love you!
