I am officially 18 weeks and 1 day today!
Excuse the poor quality of the pictures. We only had time to use my iphone to snap two quick pictures before heading off to work.
Size of Baby: According to Baby Center, about the size of a sweet potato. He/She is about about 5.6 inches long and about 6.7 ounces now.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: At my last doctor's appointment about a week and a half ago, I was up about 4 pounds. I don't weigh myself in between appointments so I'm not sure what it is currently!
Maternity Clothes: Definitely maternity pants now and a couple of shirts are maternity. I can still get away with wearing my regular shirts so it's a combination.
Gender: We don't know yet! Blake is convinced it's a girl as are most of my family and friends. At the very beginning, I thought a boy and now I'm not sure anymore. We find out on February 3rd!
Stretch Marks: None yet!
Movement: I've felt a few flutters here and there when I'm sitting or lying down, nothing consistent yet; I can't wait to be able to feel it all the time!
Sleep: Not bad, I've always been a side sleeper so that helps!
What I miss: Being able to take an Advil Cold and Sinus when I'm sick! I had a bad cold this week and saline nasal spray just didn't cut it!
What I am looking forward to: Hopefully ordering our nursery furniture this weekend!
Cravings/Aversions: I've been really wanting fruit this week! I wouldn't go so far as to call it a craving but I've definitely wanted it!
Symptoms: None!
Best Moment This Week: Finally feeling like my belly has popped a bit and people can tell I'm pregnant instead of just fat!

I love baby bellies! And I know it's not the same, but try Tylenol Cold products if it gets really bad!
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting that you find out the gender soon!! :) Flutters are the best too! I started feeling mine around 17 weeks around around 20 they became full fledged kicks! Now she's too big to kick, she's just rolling around :) You'll love it!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute ! I love belly pics! And will you be finding out the baby's sex? You must be able to find out soon if your already 18 weeks! So glad I found your blog!
