18 weeks




How far along:  18 weeks

Baby Size:  Small electric shaver :) or a sweet potato.

Weight:  127.4.  I think I'm up 4 1/2lbs

Symptoms:   


  • Super emotional
  • Cramping
  • Tired

Maternity Clothes:   I still am fine in regular clothes, but I got a bunch of stuff from my sister so I've started mixing them in.

Sleep:  I got a few 2 hours stretches Saturday night.  It's the little things that make me happy.  I even got an almost 3 hour stretch Sunday night (and then was up with insomnia the next hour), but it seems to be getting better.

Cravings/Food Aversions:  Pizza, donuts and fruits (I should probably indulge that one the most).  I'm starting to eat meat, but burger and chicken aren't working for me.  I did have a brat and then a sausage mcmuffin from Mcdonalds and had no issues with those.

Belly Button:  In


Rings on or off: In

Gender:  After we tell a few more people, I'll share it!

Name:  Probably have a first name, still debating the middle.


Movement: Nope, I 'think' I may have felt something, but I really don't think it was the baby. 


Best moment: Knowing that everything was okay with the baby.  Rob getting to see the baby again.  Finding out the sex of the baby!

Looking forward to:  Being halfway done.  2 more weeks!

What I miss:  Cherry coke.  I'm probably going to have to have some soon.


Labor signs: No thank you.

Appointments:   20 week appt in 2 weeks. 


Misc.  Last night Rob made cookies (or really pillsbury made them and he just baked them) and I was not eating obe right away and Rob told me to "Eat the cookie because the baby wants it"  :)

The song by Gary Alan "Every storm runs out of rain" has been my motivation this pregnancy.  I first heard it a week before I found out I was pregnant.  It came on in the car today.  As it's down pouring outside.  Ironic?  But now the sun is out and shinning. :)

  3. Aww another cherry coke addict. Don't feel guilty if you decide to indulge. I drank it nearly daily when pregnant and my son is fine haha. A bit of a honey badger maybe, but overall okay. Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy. I hope it goes by quickly and easily for you.

    Thanks for linking up at the Tuesday Baby link up. Hope to see you again next week.
