Jane is officially 19 weeks pregnant pregnant! Although for some reason Jane thought her belly shrunk yesterday (I blame her pregnant brain), her 19 weeks pregnant belly has officially reached the “pregnant phase”. (And as you can see by her 19 weeks belly picture, it’s definitely growing!)
Right now, baby Tarzan is the size of a softball according to my handy-dandy baby size week by week guide for fathers-to-be.
Today we have some BIG news to share with you! You see, every time Jane and I went somewhere together since she became pregnant, we’d see people look at her pregnant belly and then look away. You could tell some people wanted to say something, but thought better just in case she wasn’t pregnant.
Well yesterday and today while Jane and I were running errands a few people asked Jane, “when are you due?” Jane also got into several conversations with people talking about her 19 weeks pregnant belly. As you can imagine, this was really exciting for her.
“I’m finally out of the is she fat or pregnant stage!” Jane said to me several times today. She talked to another woman who had massive Pregnant Brain while she was pregnant. It was funny listening to her stories and how her Pregnant Brain made her forget just about everything.
I swear, over the last few days Jane’s Pregnant Brain has hit yet another new level. Pregnancy week 19 has brought zero morning sickness, no nausea, no migraines or headaches, but it has also brought a lot of laughs for both Jane and I. I literally have hundreds of examples of things she’s said or done.
And if you were on our live broadcast tonight, you heard several of Jane’s 19 weeks Pregnant Brain slip a few times. (And yes, you even heard my own Pregnant Brain that I caught from Jane lately!)
Just a few minutes ago Jane was working on the blog post listing all of the winners of our blog contest and she couldn’t remember what chicken looked like!
She kept showing me pictures of birds and roosters and she’d hold up her computer and ask me, “is this a chicken?” Man, she had me cracking up after the 5th or 6th time. We were both cracking up like crazy.
We lost the car a few times today because I wasn’t paying attention to where we parked and I forgot that Pregnant Jane would have no clue where we parked. Sadly, we were at the mall and we could very well still be looking for our car if I didn’t thankfully remember where we parked.
In other 19 weeks of pregnancy news, we have a doctor appointment next week. I don’t know if Jane’s doctor will be doing a 19 weeks pregnant ultrasound or what the deal is. At the least, we’ll hear Tarzan Junior’s heartbeat, and of course, shell out another $528 to Jane’s doctor.
So this time around, we will not be going with a midwife. We’ll be going the normal pay-out-your-nose route. Reason being that we didn’t know about the midwife options until already paying a couple thousand to Jane’s doctor. Another big reason is that Jane wants to be at a hospital for her first child. She’s comfortable with her doctor, who she’s had for years and years. I completely understand and honestly, I’d be the same way. So I’m cool with her decisions.
The next time around may be a different story. We shall see.
All in all, Jane’s pregnancy has really turned a GOOD corner. Rolling in to pregnancy week 19 is something I’m welcoming in with open arms. She’s feeling good. Her hormones have seemed to settle down a little (as far as the fire-breathing dragon) AND most importantly, JANE was the one who mentioned, “hey, maybe we could have sex today.” to me.
Uhhh… that’s not something I’ve heard her say since I got her pregnant 19 weeks ago. Let’s just say that we had a GREAT afternoon. And I’m hoping pregnancy week 19 has FINALLY opened the floodgates when it comes to the “GOOD” hormones I’ve been hearing about, but haven’t seen.
Tarzan is a very, very happy man this evening. :)
P.S… I also updated the pregnancy week by week pictures page with the pregnancy week 19 picture.

Hey guys, congratulations on making it this far, I'm not to sure if theres more blogs of your progression or what not, but I thought I'd like to leave a little comment of my own. I haven't experienced the "baby brain" as yet as I am only 16 weeks, but it sounds like a really confusing funny stage. Also (before I forget :S) congratulations on having someone congratulate your pregnancy :D That must have just made your day. I'm a bit impatient to have a baby belly of my own, I know it will come one day. Its also good to hear that these mood swings don't last forever! It certaintly feels like it sometimes though. I spent a whole Saturday balling my eyes for no reason what so ever, I had Justin so worried that he'd done something to upset me, that poor guy. He empathises with you very much Tarzan. Anyway, its good to know and hear about how life is going for you both, thankyou so very much for doing this :) Much love
