17 weeks, 6 days
18 weeks, 1 day
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 18 weeks, 1 day
Size of baby: 6 inches, and about 8 oz. About as big as a mango!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 16 pounds. It's so lovely.
Maternity Clothes: No maternity clothes, but I'm not able to button my jeans anymore. I'm telling you, it's a pretty big bummer, and not the best feeling...but then again it IS the best feeling!
Gender: You'll see
Movement: Getting more frequent, but still much more peaceful than Ace...dare we hope?!
Food Cravings: I don't subscribe to the "pregnancy cravings" notion...I mean, we all crave something at some point or another in a given day, right? Pregnant women may just be a bit more demanding assertive when it comes to cravings. However, sour things have ALWAYS been my fave and are great when I'm nauseous!
What I miss: My skinny jeans that I ripped beyond repair yesterday...yeah, but it's worth it. Fo' sho' haha!!
Sleep: Stupid crazy dreams and my always-threatening-to-overflow bladder wake me a few times during the night, but overall sleep is pretty good. Just can't get enough of it!
Symptoms: Crazy dreams, not as bad as it used to be and less frequent nausea, fatigue, random bloody nose, round ligament pain (SO much worse and sooner this time around - OUCH!), and pain from the split bone in my pelvis that never healed up after Ace.
Best Moment this week: Getting to see our sweet babe via ultrasound again...can't happen often enough! And waking up one morning with a protruding belly. Yikes!
What I am looking forward to: SO looking forward to having a room for this baby...and shopping, of course!!

"you'll see?" have YOU seen? i am double amen on the round ligament pain (i didn't have nay last time and this time it feel like being stabbed in the ovaries) and the sour foods. i sent jesse to the gas station one night for sweet tarts, sour patch and sour skittles. my tongue broke out in irritation bumps but it was so worht it! glad to see SOME kind of belly from you FINALLY. and there is no way you have gained 16 pounds. i refuse to believe it. you are teensy
YES, we definitely have the same taste in sour candy...are you a fan of shock tarts? Rips? and yes, we HAVE seen. trying to come up with a clever post...that's not intimidating for me to write. Easier said than done.
