Pregnancy update- almost half way there!

I haven't done much blogging lately, but I wanted to post some of the pictures I have taken so far and do a little comparison between when I was pregnant with Hunter and this pregnancy.
We have our sonogram on Friday and I am so hopeful that we will get to find out if this baby is a boy or a girl! Right now, my gut feeling is a girl. This feeling has changed since the beginning when I was almost positive this baby was a boy... so we will see! I think I am just so anxious to know because I keep wavering back and forth between what I really think baby is... so I just want to know!

The similarities in both pregnancies have been: no sickness, not much weight gain so far (+4 pounds total weight gain at 19 weeks), craved pickles with both

Differences: feel like I am carrying higher this time, I was already in maternity with Hunter at this point and as of now my jeans and dress pants still fit normally. I have extremely dry skin this time, I have found that aveeno oatmeal oil works wonders during my shower. Craved lots of fruit juices this pregnancy (orange in the beginning and then pineapple later). I have had more acne breakouts this pregnancy- not a lot but more than I usually do. I have had headaches this time around too, Tylenol is my friend, haha.

I have been blessed with some great pregnancies thus far! No major issues and no sickness is what I'm most thankful for! I am starting to get stressed out with getting things done in time. We have a lot of rearranging to do in our house! We will be moving our bedroom to the current office off the living room, and we will be creating a new nursery if we have a girl she will get our old room. If this baby is a boy then we are moving Hunter to our old room and the nursery will stay the same. So, lots to do in the next 20 weeks! I am hoping to get started on our room transformation this weekend and then move on the the kids rooms! My biggest concern with switching rooms is what to do about the closet space, currently all closets are full! So, we will have to figure something out quickly!

Here are a few belly picture updates:
