Week 18

Edited to add: I wrote this on Sunday night after visiting the Taste of Edmond festival with friends.  I was waiting for Micah to take a picture of me to publish when suddenly the heat and the fried food combined with the baby and I wasn't feeling so well... So that's why this post is late.  And I have no picture.


How Far Along: 18 weeks

How big is Baby? 6 inches, 1/2 pound (that's right... we're in the pounds!)- about the size of a mango

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 7 pounds (per the scale in the office bathroom)

Maternity Clothes: Pretty much exclusively... again, I don't understand people that get by without maternity clothes... lucky!

Gender: Friday, Friday... gonna find out on Friday!  Have you voted?  So far the poll says girl!

Movement: Yes, yes, yes!  My favorite thing!  And the baby loves to hear JM laugh... whenever he's being silly it's going crazy in there!

Sleep: Eh... this week I haven't slept great.  I find myself restless and waking up randomly in the night.

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach... not thinking about my caffeine intake for the day

Cravings: WATERMELON!!  and popsicles... probably because it's a million degrees right now!

Food Aversions: I think I might be over most of these for now? Except for bananas...

Symptoms: Um, I can't stop eating... or sweating (ha!)

Best Moment: Feeling those first baby flutters and also realizing how active the baby is when JM is around- makes me excited to see them together!
