How Far Along: 19 Weeks
Size of Baby: About 9 oz... 6 inches from crown to booty!
Total Weight Gain: I lost a pound, lol, I have no idea why or how. Anyway, total weight gain for my entire pregnancy is 3 pounds... this blows my mind because in less than a week I'll be "officially" 5 months along! WOW!
Maternity Clothes: bottoms, some tops
Gender: Sweet baby girl!
Movement: She is a WILD GIRL! We know this from watching the monitor with our jaws on the floor as we watcher her flip and twist and make it VERY hard for the ultrasound tech to get what she needed, lol. Also, interesting fact, my placenta is on top! Basically this means that it attached on the side closest to my belly! The ultrasound tech explained that basically my placenta is acting like a big mattress/buffer between me and the baby so I won't feel her as much as I most likely would from a baby in a future pregnancy.
Sleep: Sometimes like a rock, sometimes really difficult. Not sleeping flat on my back is a challenge.
Symptoms: Not much, I pretty much feel like myself... except for my tiny baby bump, occasional heart burn, and a flutter every now and then! lol
What I Miss: wine.... boy do I miss my wine!
Cravings: Water, Caffeine Free Tea, Lemonade... I'm just thirsty all the time!
Best Moment This Week: Our ultrasound!! It was amazing and wonderful!
What I'm Looking Forward To: Holding our sweet baby girl!
Now, some of you know this already, but for those of you who don't.... we were more prepared for boy than girl and we are at a total loss for names! We want something unique, but not weird. We like last names for first names and are now open for suggestions! ;-)

Congratulations! I'll think about names and get back to you later. Meanwhile, I'm staying out of the baby section of stores - I have NO resistance when it comes to pink clothes! maybe cause I never got to indulge in them. :-)
CONGRATS on a GIRL! How fun....let the shopping begin! :-)
Hooray for a girl!!!! Congratulations!!!! Lily will love having a little sister! Well since we both have an "H" last name, I can tell you that it is hard coming up with a cute "H" girl name to go with it. Henley Hooper sure is cute! :) (I only say this b/c you said last names for first names and that's what Henley is!)
A girl!! Yay!!! I'm so shocked, but that is WONDERFUL! Lilly will love her! I can't believe you've only gained 3 lbs. I can't be pregnant friends w/ you anymore. Just kidding. ;)
happy news! And now I can brag about how active SHE is without spoiling your big secret! As I said before, by accident, SHE must take after her uncle Ken, who I remember as always being on the go! Love you!
Are you wanting an "H" name too? or just a last name for a first name? Malcolm likes Heather. Its always been his favorite girl name. I always liked Grace myself, but that doesnt' fall into either category, except its a girl name.
Congratulations on your precious baby girl!! You are going to be a great mom! Hope to catch up soon!
Forgot to sign my name! I love the name Harper for a little girl.
Emily
OMG congratulations...you will have a little miss priss!! Last names first...how about Harper! I also have a friend who has a little girl with Hadley. Let's have lunch SOON!! Please! :)
Yay for a girl! I'm so excited for you!! What fun you will have shopping! My placenta was on top with Jack - don't worry - you'll feel plenty of movement later on!! :)
