Week 18
Size: A Sweet Potato
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +8
Maternity Clothes: Maternity pants, regular tops.
Stretch Marks: None…on my stomach! Lathering up with lotion.
Gender: Revealing March 25th (we find out for sure on FRIDAY)
Movement: YES!!! I felt two kicks last night around 1am. I felt movement and put my hand on my lower abs and felt them.
Sleep: I’ve been having a hard time sleeping. I’m going to try to sleep on the couch tonight to see if it helps me get more comfortable. Up once for the bathroom.
Cravings: Peanut M&M’s this week.
Aversions: Milk
Symptoms: NO SICKNESS THIS WEEK. There’s been a little nausea but no toilets!! That’s cause for a little celebrating. I’m still feeling a lot of stretching and much tighter in my stomach when I get up or exercise. I’ve been napping every day this week which is allowing me to stay up a bit later.
Labor Signs: None. WAY too early.
What I Miss: I had a stress filled day on Friday and a glass of wine would have made that better. But, it’s totally worth giving up for a while!
What I’m Looking Forward To: FRIDAY. Anatomy appointment.
Best Moment This Week: Feeling the bebe kick. Working on the gender reveal party. Being off this week was wonderful. It makes me look forward to being off over the summer before baby H arrives. I have SOO much I want to make/ craft/ do!
Thoughts: As excited as I am for the ultrasound on Friday, I have a lot of anxiety about it. I’m scared. This is the big appointment where they check all of the organs. I know Baby H and I have lots of people sending us prayers and watching over us. I just can’t wait for the day to be here and to celebrate this little miracle on Sunday.
Now for the picture. 18 wks 4 days. I forgot to take one this weekend. Therefore hubs took it at 6:00 this morning before he left for work. Which explains the no makeup, exhausted look on my face and undone hair. =-)
how exciting to feel the baby moving!!! you look great =) sending prayers and warm fuzzies for the anatomy appointment!
