19 weeks

I really had no idea that I looked like this until the picture was taken! My weight has stayed steady for the past two weeks, so I was surprised to see so much change in my bump. I'm still not entirely convinced that I look pregnant in any other outfit, but as you can tell, I'm working on it.

Movement: Baby Skweres is definitely more active this week. Mostly around meal/snack times but I've even noticed some moving while I'm teaching.

What I'm looking forward to: Being able to feel more specific movement, like kicks and flips. Plus it will be cool to see Baby Skweres move from outside my belly.

Best moment this week: Deciding to take the full 12 week maternity leave. Justin and I weren't sure how much time I was going to stay at home, but I'm really excited to be able to spend all that time bonding with baby and not worrying about school. Now all I have to do is call HR...

Weekly wisdom: Don't put your hands on my belly unless we have a very close relationship - or I extend an invitation. This includes you, assistant principal... you are my BOSS.
