19 weeks:

How far along? 19w5d (mango)
Weight gain? About 7 lb
Maternity Clothes? Yes! only have a few non-maternity tops I can still wear. 
Who have you told? No one new this week.
Are you showing yet? Yes. I popped this week!
Any movement? Yes, very frequently! Still amazing!
Symptoms: Still having RLP and ute hardening. The RLP is baaaaaad. Otherwise I'm fine. 
Best moment this week: A/S today - not only did everything look great, but we got to see baby smacking his lips, putting his thumb in his mouth (well, almost in his mouth), and curling up in super cute positions!
Major milestones: Anatomy scan! 
Major purchases this week: Nothing this week. We still haven't bought anything for him.
Looking forward to next week: Being HALF BAKED!

In other news, work has been stressful. Good, but stressful. Especially my current rotation. The hours are brutal. But hey, at least I'm not super nauseous like I was the last time I did this rotation! So there's that.

18 weeks:

How far along? 18w2d (sweet potato)
Weight gain? About 5 lb
Maternity Clothes? Yes! I am exclusively in maternity bottoms, and still have a few non-maternity tops that I can wear but they don't look as good, and I don't think it'll be long before I can't wear them anymore. In the past 2 weeks my belly has gotten a lot bigger
Who have you told? No one new this week.
Are you showing yet? Actually I think yes. I can still hide it if I want to, but in the past week I have grown a lot.
Any movement? Yes and it is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced - although it's pretty weird, the actual sensation of something moving around in there! It has moved me to tears several times. I am so, so grateful that I get to experience this. Even if this all ends tomorrow, I am so lucky to have been able to feel a baby kick inside me.
Symptoms: Still having RLP and ute hardening. Otherwise feeling pretty good.
Best moment this week: A big kick when I was reading in bed. 
Major milestones: Not hiding my bump anymore.
Major purchases this week: Nothing this week. We still haven't bought anything for him. But, several years ago when I found out I was pregnant the first time, I bought a pair of baby socks to tell Mr. E. He said he had returned them after that loss, but it turns out he kept them for a future baby. He brought them back from Sweden this past week, where they've been in storage. I love that he will have a symbol of his angel siblings.
Looking forward to next week: Staying pregnant :)

17 weeks:
How far along? 17w3d (onion)
Weight gain? About 5 lb
Maternity Clothes? Yes! I officially don't fit into any of my regular work pants/skirts anymore. And I have a few tops that are long enough to be worn with my maternity skirt and pants, but most are not, so I bought some maternity sweaters too (just 3).
Who have you told? We've told a few more people - some extended family and a few close friends.
Are you showing yet? Actually I think yes. I can still hide it if I want to, but in the past week I have grown a lot.
Any movement? YES!!!! I have even felt him with my hand a few times. Sometimes I feel little bumps, and sometimes it feels like someone wringing out a towel in my belly, and sometimes I get the feeling you get when your stomach drops on a roller coaster, but in my ute.
Symptoms: I had some scary episodes where my uterus was really hard for long periods of time (like 1-2 hours). They tested me for a UTI (negative) and checked my cervix and amniotic fluid (both fine). I have also discovered round ligament pain. Holyshit it's painful. I mean, it's fine, it's wonderful, but I'm glad my dr was able to tell me what it is because it hurts so bad it would be worrisome if I didn't know what it is.
Best moment this week: It's been a big week: 1. Feeling him move FOR SURE and 2. Finding out the Verify test was normal.
Major milestones: In maternity clothes, full-on outfits. Actually 'feeling' pregnant - my belly feels big, I have RLP, and I can feel the baby. Also, I finally started writing to the baby, something I started with my first pregnancy but have been to scared to do until now.
Major purchases this week: Maternity camisoles, sweaters, and tights.
Looking forward to next week: Mr. E coming back from a trip to Sweden so he can hopefully feel the baby move. Next appointment is my anatomy scan, not sure how that happened........
