19 Weeks

How Far Along? 19 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss? At the doctors on Monday I am still the same weight as last month. down 4 pounds
Maternity clothes? Love them!
Best moment this week? Getting a bunch of girl clothes from a friend of my MIL! What a blessing!
Belly Button? Still an innie
Measurements? Had my first one on Monday and I was measuring right at 18 weeks.
Movement? I feel her in the morning and at night when I am laying down. I have felt her from the outside a couple of times too!
Food Cravings? Frosted Flakes
Gender? Team Pink
What I miss? Nothing at the moment
What I am looking forward to? My anatomy scan on July 6th! Can't wait to see how much she has grown!
Milestones?  Baby's now the size of a mango! Vernix caseosa, a greasy white substance made of lanugo, oil, and dead skin cells (yum) now coats baby's skin, shielding it from the amniotic fluid. (Picture yourself after a nine-month bath, and the need for protection makes sense.) You might get to see the vernix at birth, especially if baby is premature.
Other notes? I can finally hear Shiloh's heartbeat on the doppler I borrowed from my SIL. It is around the 150's every time.

Other notes?

21 Months

How Old? 21 Months
Height and Weight? Not sure and we probably will not find out until his 2 Year appointment!!
Teeth? He is working on getting his top incisors in and these will be the last teeth until his 2 year molars! YAY we get a teething break!
Clothes? 18 months
Words? The ones he uses regularly are: Dada, Daisy, Mama, Cheese, Please, Choo-Choo, "Whats that?", Get, Night-Night and "Get Daisy"

Food? He now loves corn on the cob, green beans, turkey dogs, oatmeal, bananas, strawberries, yogurt, peaches, fried okra, pb&j, hamburgers, and more.

Activities? He is still loving to pretend to cook and eat and loves the little kitchen at my mom's house. I am going to get him one at the one of the church consignments in August. He loves giving kisses and blowing kisses and he loves to climb!

What Happened? Daniel found out he is going to have a litle sister! He has also been swimming in the pool a lot and having so much fun.

My Toddler This Month? Whether being silly, throwing a tantrum, or banging a drum, your child may seem like a revved-up ball of energy with an uncanny ability to keep going and going. That's actually a good thing, because kids learn through repetition. But because children this age live so much in the moment, your 21-month-old has a hard time shifting gears from one activity or mood to another. He just can't stop himself when he's on a roll. You may even notice this tendency in your child's fine motor skills. He might scribble right off the paper or paint his arms or the easel as well as the drawing pad in front of him. The typical 21-month-old has developed some decent self-feeding skills – like filling a spoon with food and getting it into his mouth, spearing food with a fork, and drinking from a cup. Whether your toddler is willing to use those skills consistently at the family table is another story. Depending on your child's temperament, he may already be turning into a much tidier eater – or far from it. By his second birthday, he might find it distressing to spill a drink or get food on his hands or clothes. On the other hand, he might continue to use food like finger paint for months to come.

17 Weeks

How Far Along? 17 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss? Still down 4 pounds : ( I am still sick everyday...
Maternity clothes? All that I can wear even though I don't all that big.
Best moment this week? Finding out we are having a girl and seeing her fingers and toes and her little nose!
Belly Button? Still an innie
Movement? I have felt her some but not near as much as Daniel! I found out at the ultrasound that my placenta has migrated to the anterior position so it makes it harder to feel.
Food Cravings? nothing really this week
Gender? It's a GIRL!
What I miss? Being hungry...
What I am looking forward to? My appointment on June 20th and buying girl stuff!!
Milestones? Baby's now the size of an onion! Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. His umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes now feature one-of-a-kind prints.
Other notes? We are so happy we are having a girl. I feel like our family will be complete!

Shiloh Elizebeth Sevin

We had our ultrasound yesterday and found out we are having a GIRL!! To say we were surprised is an understatement. I wanted a girl but had been convinced it would never happen. We are so excited! Here are some pictures of Shiloh Elizebeth Sevin!
