18 Weeks!

18 Weeks!

2 weeks until the half-way mark!

How far along are you? 

18 Weeks

Total weight gain: 

Doesn't seem like I've gained any more than just the belly.  Since the last dr appointment I've really started watching HOW much I eat.  Before, I would eat the entire foot long sub because I knew I'd be hungry again in no time.  Now, I'm spreading out those calories and saving half of the sub for later.  Smart cookie, I am!

How big is baby?:

Apparently Baby is the size of a mango...can't say I've ever eaten a mango to be familiar with one...but here's a pretty picture!  lol

Baby is approximately 6 inches long head to rump and weighs about half a pound

Maternity clothes: 

Definitely...I'm building my wardrobe one piece at a time

Stretch marks?:  

None, yet.  

Still applying Palmers religiously

Sleep?: 

I got a body pillow!  I sleep SO SO SO much better!

Best moment this week?:

Baby's first big FLOP

Movement?: 

Sunday I was sitting on the couch, drinking my coffee.  All of a sudden it felt like a fish flopped over in my belly!  My whole belly shook!  It was WEIRD!  

I'm pretty sure I was kicked or punched again the other day 

Food cravings?:

Still...

Popcicles!  At least I'm eating sugar free lol

Food aversions?:

Not too bad, kind of depends on the day

Labor signs?: 

NO!  Stay put Baby!

Belly button in or out?: 

In...not sure if I think it will or won't pop

What I miss: 

not being tired constantly...I know you mothers are laughing at me

What I'm looking forward to: 

APRIL 16!!

We will find out Baby's gender!  HURRY UP!!

What I'm not looking forward to: 

Even less sleep...I've become an insomniac it seems.  

Pre-pregnancy, I could sleep so well. Just get still and I'd be SOUND asleep...noise level didn't really matter, light didn't matter...not so much any more

Milestone: 

Baby's flop!
