{life as a preggers: week 19}

Week 19 had some really great things happen!! I FINALLY think I am over the sick phase-- hopefully I can have a few weeks before any 3rd trimester symptoms start. I have started getting really bad back pain in my lower back- like my sciatic nerve (sp?)-- if anyone who is mama can tell me how to help that besides forcing my husband to give me multiple back rubs a day, it would be really helpful!

Here is the bump picture:

And here is my Chalkboard picture, I wrote on the chalkboard with intentions of having Pierce take a picture of me with it but our lives have been crazy (ok, well Pierce's) and most nights I am undressed in bed when he gets home so I settled for this!

if you notice, our baby probably isn't the size of a cafe rio burrito yet but I ate Cafe Rio twice this last week-- the WHOLE thing both times! And baby has kindly not made me regret it yet! Here's to the HALFWAY MARK!!!
