19 Week Update

Bump: This week I had two strangers tell me I looked about ready to pop. I don't think I look that big. Then today, I was out at three schools and every secretary told me how sorry she was the classroom I needed to see was in the back of the building or upstairs and gave me directions to the elevator, so I guess I look bigger or worse off than I thought :-)

Cravings: None, but I've wanted really specific foods at each meal, so maybe that is a craving.

Symptoms: I feel like a walking add for that Pepto Bismol jingle - "Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea."  Also, I would not be surprised if at any minute my belly button ripped open. It hasn't popped out yet, but that is what the skin feels like no matter how much cocoa butter or oil I put on it.  If this keeps up, Elizabeth will get her wish and I will be covered in saran wrap like Kate Goslin.

Activities: Classes are in full swing and Jay has had a really busy work week (big pitch on Thursday morning), but the major activity has been the nursery. Mom came up late Wednesday night. Friday night, we took a break for dinner (pics below). Lots of pictures to come of before and in progress.
