HOW FAR ALONG: 18 weeks & some change
BABY THIS WEEK: Size of a Sweet Potato…awwww. Ears are developing and baby may be able to hear me- or at least my gastric juices flowing..Lucky baby..ha!
MY WEIGHT GAIN: I’d say about 9 lbs
MATERNITY CLOTHES: Discovered the Tummy Sleeve thanks to TuckedNeatlyAway. All my regular pants are back in the rotation!
SLEEP: Still really good, not uncomfortable yet.
BEST MOMENT OF THE WEEK: Having dinner with my friend and her giving me a book that was special to her and her sons. I look forward to reading it to my little one- maybe soon, they could be able to hear me!
FOOD: I am and have been finding it hard to eat straight up salads- unless they are made by some one else. Weird I know. Giving into sugar cravings, had a brownie batter filled donut yesterday and it was delicious. I think I need to control those urges a little more though.
SYMPTOMS: Still having to go to the bathroom more frequently. Acne on the back and chin isn’t letting up 😦 Other than that, nothing to speak of.
MOOD: Still feeling good- a little anxious at times wondering how we’ll make it all work financially..but I am doing ok with it. Trying to live One Day at a Time.
MOVEMENT: Questionable now whether I have been feeling baby or not. I think I feel them poking me, but not those butterflies that everyone talks about.
WHAT I MISS: At the moment, I am not missing a thing.
LOOKING FORWARD TO: February Freaking 4th! Will we have a Lenora or Elliot in our arms this July?!
You’ll feel movement soon! When it gets more consistent you’ll realize that you’ve been feeling those movements already but didn’t recognize it 🙂
I can’t wait : ) There is always so much to look forward to!! Just checked out your blog- congrats on being half way through and closer to meeting your little one in person!!!!
Glad those tummy sleeves worked out! Also random but I wash and dry mine. I googled a little while before figuring it can’t hurt them? Lol so just in case your were curious 🙂
Good to know! I will be so happy if these things last through out the entire pregnancy!
