19.

You didn't think these updates would be on-schedule every week, did you? Of course not, it's me we're talking about. It's been hard to get motivated to open up the computer this weekend because I'm just physically and mentally exhausted. The babes have been sick the past few days & I have a pretty terrible cold myself, so things are pretty boring and gloomy around here. The husband is off all week & instead of taking advantage of this time to do fun stuff, we've been resting and running quick, silly errands just to get everyone out of the house. Sigh. Fingers crossed that we all recover soon before we go completely stir crazy!

How far along?: 19 weeks, 2 days
Total weight gain/loss: +1.5 this week, +12.5 total.
Maternity clothes?: I finally feel like I've developed a decent-sized wardrobe to get me through the next 4.5 months! If it gets bitterly cold, I may be in trouble because while my winter coats are a little big, they're not 9-months-pregnant-with-a-Reeder-beast big.
Sleep: With sick kiddos, not enough. Only getting up to go to the bathroom about 1 time, so that helps.
Movement: Tons of kicks that are getting stronger every day. They are finally strong enough to feel from the outside, though I'm the only one that has felt it. Baby tends to shy away from Daddy's hand.
Food cravings: None, but ice cream has been a staple lately.
Gender: It's odd to think most people find out around this time and yet we have months and months to go before we'll know.
New w/pregnancy #3: I've had lots of unexplained muscle pain in my legs. I'll wake up feeling like I ran 5 miles, just really tight and sore. So bizarre.
What I miss: The kids are sick. I'm sick. I miss wine.
What I am looking forward to: Pie! I don't even care what kind, I'm only in it for the crust. Hurry up, Thursday.
Best moment this week: Feeling the baby kick from the outside! Before we know it, I'll be able to watch the elbows and knees jut out and the head rolling around (I realize after re-reading that sentence that it sounds weird and creepy, but I promise you it's cute and fun. To some people, at least. The husband always finds that weird and creepy.)
Milestones: We're under 150 days!
