Well so much for my weekly bump updates I had planned on doing for you ladies. This pregnancy seriously seems to just be FLYING by this time around! I guess it makes sense since i’m running around after a toddler and trying to keep up with her busy schedule as well but how are we already almost at the half way mark?!?! Anyhow here we go with my 19 Week update (almost 20 Weeks!)…..
How far along: 19 Weeks (almost 20 now!)
Gender: SOON! (taking all guesses 😉
Total weight gain: 9 lbs (a couple more pounds than where I was at this point last pregnancy)
Maternity Clothes: Not yet but for the majority of my pants I have to use the hair tie trick.
Sleep: Pretty good! We finally got a new mattress and this mama is in heaven! I may have to start sleeping with an extra pillow under this heavy tummy soon though.
Miss Anything: cocktails (which is probably going to be my answer every bump update! #justsayin’)
Cravings: Popcorn and fresh juices
Symptoms: Feeling pretty good now that I’m in the second trimester but let me tell you this hip pain is on a whole other level the second time around!! It’s a lot worse and starting so much sooner this pregnancy.
Belly Button in or out: It’s undecided but more on the outs
Mood: EXCITED!
Best Moment this week: Just feeling super blessed and happy lately! I feel much more at ease this go round.
Looking forward to: Finding out the gender!
Exercise: A lot of you were asking about this and i’m still doing 3 days a week of easy cardio and easy strength training. I’m just trying to stay active. My cardio usually consists of treadmill (easy jogging no sprint intervals or high speed paces like pre pregnancy) and the elliptical machine still with some solid resistance. I may start the stairclimber again but need to get a heart rate monitor first because that one is always a harder workout. As for strength training just all the key basics. Weighted squats and lunges and some arms. I’m going to try to post quick workout videos but i’ll be honest sometimes just getting the gym is a task these days let alone filming portions too. Life is SO busy lately but hopefully I can start doing some quick videos for you ladies!
Can't wait to hear if baby is a boy or girl! 🙂 You look fab, makes me want another!!
thanks so much Tawnya!
Hi Andee,
I just wanted to say that I just discovered your blog and fell in love with it! You are so stylish and relatable, especially since I too am also 19 weeks preggo with my 2nd child while trying to balance it all! You're also so right about it flying by this time around!
awww thank you so much Shannon, such a nice compliment! And congrats to you too!!
Lookin' good momma, as always!! I hear ya, second time around things seem to happen MUCH sooner/quicker but it goes so fast too. Gosh, I don't know what to guess – another girl?! Either way, so excited for you. 🙂
oh my gosh SO much faster this time around!!!
I would love to start seeing videos on your blog! I have been following since you were first pregnant with Ava! Congrats, love the blog and look forward to reading each day xo xo

thanks so much Genesis! i hope i can come through with some of those! Things have just been on another level of busy lately!
I'm guessing boy for sure!
You totally make me have baby fever. I really miss being pregnant which is weird because when I was preggo with M, I didn't understand what the big deal was….oh, just like a woman to never really know what she wants 🙂

LOL right?! I think I'm an really enjoying it much more this time around!
Look at that beautiful little bump! I think another girl 😉
I'm carrying and feeling the same as when I was pregnant with A!
You look so good! I had my baby seven weeks ago and you are already making me miss being pregnant! I'm going to guess boy 🙂

;))) thank you Emma and congrats to you!
Looking so gorgeous, mama! <3 xx Can't wait to find out the gender!!
thanks lovely xo
I love these posts 🙂 I'm selfishly hoping you have a boy so I can see how you dress him. You've got such great taste.
Love,
Summer

;)) thanks hun!
You and your bump look beautiful Andee! How is your energy level this time around, chasing after Ava? That's a big fear for trying for #2. I think Kaitlyn is really active and high-energy, and I was sooo exhausted during the first pregnancy – I can't imagine doing it again while chasing a toddler. I'll take a wild guess with GIRL for gender? Your bump kind of looked like mine and hip pain (they say girls carry lower and wider?) for random reasoning.

Thank you for posting pictures of your new lil' man. My husband and I are thinking of starting a family this year and I find myself visiting your site when my anxiety runs rampant. Most of the newer mom's that I know seem to highlight how miserable pregnancy is and it can be a little hard sometimes to remind myself of what a gift it is. I know that it's not all cute cravings and "sprinkles" for nine months but I really appreciate how you have taken us on this journey with you. You remind me of so much to look forward to and the beauty of being a woman. Congratulations and I pray you are blessed with many new memories and maybe even a few naps 😉
