19 weeks

Today we had our second trimester ultrasound. The doctor said everything looks great. The organs, blood flow, and size of the baby are all just as should be at this point. Right now "the Mave" weighs 9 ounces, and once again they confirmed it's a girl. That's good because I couldn't help but buy some cute girly clothes after the last ultrasound.
We don't have any great pictures of the baby right now because she was sleeping, but I'll post them later anyway once they're scanned in. She was pretty cute, resting the right side of her head on the placenta like it was a pillow.
As for mommy, I feel great. No more fatigue or major symptoms, and even the cravings have subsided a bit (except for pickles... I just can't get rid of that one). My belly is growing by the day, and though I haven't graduated into maternity pants yet (they are still slightly too loose), I have had to use the rubber band expansion trick on most of my pants. Now I'm just waiting 'til I can distinguish the baby moving from gas! Not as easy as it sounds. I will let you know when I can tell for sure. :D
