My first blog...

Hello blogging world! I decided this would be a fun way to keep everyone updated on our lives as we move around and bring our sweet baby girl into the world! I am 19 weeks pregnant today and we confirmed on Thursday thats it's a Girl!! I could not be more happy! We are moving to Wilmington, NC in two weeks and have been so busy getting ready for the move. I can not wait for it to be over with so we can settle in and set up the nursery!! The movers come on Monday to pack us up which is so weird to me to not be packing my own things but since I'm pregnant for this move and the Marine Corps offers this option we're going with it! We have two days left with our things in the house and we hae to finish getting everything organized for them to pack. Trying to decide what things we will need for the next two in a half weeks is hard! It's like packing for a long vacation but trying to keep some kitchen and bathroom items out too so we can still cook and take showers! Thats it for the move today now on to the pregnancy... I stole this from a friend because I love the idea to keep everyone involved through my pregnancy!
How far along?  19 weeks today!
How big is baby? 9 ounces as of Thursday. She is still a tiny little thing!
Weight gain? I have done good the past couple weeks! I am weighing about 5 lbs more on my scale than I was before vacation! I was not gaining weight in the beginning because I was so sick so I have been trying hard to gain!
Maternity clothes? not having the best of luck finding jeans that are short enough! I was told that Old Navy makes them in a short so I might have to order from them but I hate not being able to try them on!
Stretch marks? nope!
Sleep?:  once I fall asleep I sleep sound but my stomach doesn't like mornings or bed time so finding a comfortable position to make my stomach happy isn't always easy!
Best moment this week? finding out she is definitely a GIRL!!
Movement? not feeling any movement yet but should start any day!
Food cravings? fruit! Apples, bananas, strawberries (luckily I can still find good ones at the commissary!) and pineapples.
Gender? Girl!
Labor signs? nope
Belly button in or out? still in but stretching some
What I miss? my energy and eating without the stomach aches after :-/
What I am looking forward to? setting up the nursery!
Weekly wisdom? none this week
Milestones? nothing exciting except she's a girl :)
