Fall has brought with it cooler days, everything pumpkin, falling leaves, and some weird stray hairs and nipple "stuff".
A few nights ago I looked down at my bare belly while greasing it up with some stretch mark preventing oil and noticed a little gathering of little peach-fuzzy blond hairs on the lower portion. I have no idea what that's about. Then I noticed some white flakiness on my nipples, what appears to be a tiny bit of dried milk. Lactation, check. This was a weird week in the body department, people!
Nothing much else has changed except that I am having a little bit harder time sleeping at night. Aside from still waking up at least twice a night to pee, I am finding it harder to find a comfortable position. A big, giant pregnancy sleep pillow may be in my future.
Nineteen completed weeks of growing a baby. NINETEEN WEEKS?! How did that happen?! We are just about half way there?! I will spare you from more "?!" combos, but really, I never anticipated the weeks would fly by like this. In just a few days we have our scheduled anatomy scan where I will find out if this little one is a Mr. or a Miss! I CAN. NOT. WAIT!!!! I am so excited to find out the gender that I have almost forgotten that they will also be checking out all of the other parts to make sure everything is looking a-okay. Just as long as everything looks healthy and on-track, we will be happy, but I am so, so excited to know I can hardly stand it.
I don't know if I'm missing some pregnancy intuition, but I have absolutely no inklings or feelings on which sex it is. I do have to say, probably 95% of people that have made a prediction on gender (it's funny how many people do this!) have guessed that I'm having a girl. Most have said that they just have a "feeling". Only time will tell!
Without further ado...

Also, a fellow blogger suggested I make a page with weekly bump shots, so I started that too. So if you're not in a bump viewing place, avoid my "Belly" page like the plague.
