Hi Kuti!
Your dad and I went to the doctor on Friday and got to hear your heartbeat on Friday. Your head is down very low in my pelvis on the left side. I think all of you is on the left. The left side of my belly seems to be a bit bigger! I have taken a few pictures to show where you are now! We also got to hold a model baby that is the size you are now. You're getting bigger! It takes two hands now to hold you :).
It's getting pretty hot outside now. Your dad and I actually sleep in the guest room in the basement when it gets hot like this. We've been thinking about where you'll sleep down here. The basement is also our movie room where we have a big screen on the wall to watch TV and movies. I think your pack-n-play crib will fit in just fine down here.
I am ready to feel you move! I know I will have quite a few months where you will probably make me feel uncomfortable with all of your movement. But right now, I can't wait to know that you're in there and moving around!
With the hot weather I have been drinking less tea. I have had a soda here and there. Now caffeine really affects me. I had half a cup of coffee yesterday and it kept me up all night! So, no more coffee until November for me.
I am also super excited to find out whether you are a girl or boy! I do love surprises. But I just cannot wait another 5 months to find out. I need to mentally prepare either way. We are having a sonogram to check all of your internal structures on July 9th. We will as the person doing the sonogram to write on two cards whether you are a girl or boy. We are heading down to Liberal to see your grandparents on July 12th. So we will take one card to Cupcakes & More in Lincoln to have them do gender reveal cupcakes to take with us! I am so excited.
You can hear us now! Apparently by 19 weeks your ears are fully formed. I have started trying to pray aloud and talk to you more. I talked to your dad's mom today, you'll call her Ummachi, and she reminded me to read bible verses to you. I'll have to do that tonight.
Jazz in June
Last Tuesday was Jazz in June in Lincoln. I really enjoyed going to all of the concerts last year. I missed the first two in June due to weather and Pistol's dental surgery. Your dad and I have planned to go this coming Tuesday. I am hoping to take you along next year! You will be seven months old! I hope that you'll enjoy being outside and listening to jazz.
Exercising
Exercising has been going well. For the last month or two I have been doing 3+ miles at least three times a week. I started out running during commercials. I started to feel some odd pains and it was a bit uncomfortable. So I cut out the running. Now I just walk 3 miles. I have gained about 10 pounds now. I am only supposed to gain another 4 over the next 8 weeks.
How many Weeks are in a Trimester?
First Trimester: Starts with the first day of your last menstrual period and ends with the last day of the 13th week thereafter.
Second Trimester: Starts at the beginning of the 14th week and lasts through the 27th week of pregnancy.
Third Trimester: Starts at the beginning of the 28th week and ends with labor. We will be in the third trimester on August 22!

Health Weight Gain
I am now 19 weeks in. So that would be a max of 4.5 pounds in the first trimester (through thirteen weeks), then 1 pound over each of the last six weeks would be 6 pounds. So I am potentially at the higher side of the range having already gained 10 pounds. Hopefully I can keep the weight gain in check!
Healthy Weight Gain by Trimester
First trimester: 1 pound per month ~ (about 4lb) in the first three months.
Second trimester: 1 pound per week for the next three months ~ (12 - 14lb) in total.
Third trimester: around 1 pound per week ~ (12lb) over the last three months.
