18 Weeks

Baby Update: 18 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights from this week:

How far along? 18 weeks

Size of the baby? About the size of a bell pepper, 5.5 inches

Maternity Clothes? Maternity jeans and a maternity top. I can still wear most of my regular shirts but I think it will be maternity jeans and leggings and dresses from here on out. Im not gonna lie. . .maternity jeans are kind of awesome! 

Gender? Don't know yet but we find out on Friday!! We are so excited! We don't care either way as long as they are healthy. 

Movement? I am not sure but I think I am starting to feel the baby a little bit. I read some things about what the first movements feel like and I have felt those same things. Hopefully I will feel more in the next few weeks! 

Sleep? I am sleeping pretty well right now. Still very tired at night so no trouble at all falling asleep! 

Cravings?  No real cravings. Still eating lots of green grapes. Can't get enough! 

Symptoms?  This week I felt pretty good. Thank goodness! Still getting headaches some but other than that I can't complain. 

What I miss?  Still miss Sushi. (thanks for the advice Meredith!!) I also didn't think it would be a big deal not being able to eat deli meat but when I went to Panera last week and couldn't get any of the sandwiches that sounded so good to me I realized just how much I was missing deli meat! 

Milestones? Another week down!  Almost half way there! 

What I am nervous about?  Seeing how much weight I have gained at our appointment on Friday :-/

What I'm excited about? Our appointment this Friday!!! 

Here is my 18 week picture. My bump is really starting to show :-) I am ready to look pregnant and not just like I have a beer gut!!
