18 Weeks

How far along? 18 Weeks

Baby Size: Approximately 5.6 inches or the size of a sweet potato! 

Total weight gain: Still about 10-11ish lbs. 

Maternity clothes? Still wearing maternity pants & normal tops-- for now! 

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Alright. Researching/buying body pillow asap! Getting up to pee more frequently-- it doesn't help that I also drink about 10+ glasses of water each day. No wonder I'm making 800 trips to the toilet per day! 

Recap of last week: We had a busy week of work & tried to just relax and get caught up over the weekend. We did plan one last small getaway to the beach for a three-day weekend-- looking forward to that in a few weeks :) 

Miss Anything? Lots of Caffeine for days when I lack in sleep/rest! Normally I would indulge in a large Starbucks, but now I can't-- so I just suffer through tiredness. 

Movement: Yes! Still quite a bit of movement each day, while I'm sitting still. The movements are getting stronger & I can hardly wait for Matt to feel them too! 

Food cravings: I really think every week & sometimes each day my body craves something different. I haven't really had any unusual or constant cravings (other than still fruit). I still really love fresh fruits & veggies-- can't get enough! Some days I crave saltier things, while other days sweeter-- things this past week have included: chocolate, ice cream, Chick-Fil-A grilled chicken sandwich, and steak! 

Anything making you queasy or sick: I've been getting indigestion which can make me uncomfortable & unable to eat a lot, especially within a few hours of bedtime. I have a feeling I'm going to have to start eating dinner by 5pm or sleeping will be tough!  

Gender: Unknown, but only 10 days to go until we find out!!

Labor Signs: No.

Symptoms: Growing Belly, Movement/Flutters, Indigestion, & Dry/Itchy Eyes

Belly Button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Mood: Happy for the most part, but still have my moody moments! 

Looking forward to: Still anxious for October 2nd Gender/Anatomy Appointment!!!
