18 weeks
How Far Along: 18 weeks, 2 days
Size of baby: ~ 5 1/2 inches long (crown to rump), about the length of a bell pepper & 7 ounces... Still a tiny munchkin
Total Weight Gain/Loss: + 6 lbs total. I feel a little better about this number.
Maternity Clothes: Mostly. I can still wear non-maternity shirts but pants are a bit wishful thinking (definitely without the BeBand). Still waiting to get out of this "is she pregnant or is she fat" stage.
Movement: I believe so! Quick little fluffing spurts started at 18 weeks exactly. It's still odd for me to feel and am looking forward to when it is more definite kicks and pokes.
Sleep: Ugh, again. Hugh is sleeping through the night again so that is helpful. I've been able to wait longer and longer til I have to wake up to go to the bathroom but it is still taking me a bit to fall asleep most night.
Symptoms: Feeling baby flutters :) and a growing belly. I think I'm at that "feeling pretty good" part of the second trimester. I'll take it!
What I miss: being able to brush my teeth without invariably gagging every single time. Thankfully, it's just the action and not actually getting sick.
Cravings: I honestly don't think I have a particular craving. I still want a California roll a little more than normal but it's not an "I have to have one now" craving.
Best Moment this week: finally feeling the flutters! It's an amazing feeling every time it happens. I also listened in on baby a few days ago with the Doppler that Sarah let me borrow til she needs it again. I just didn't feel pregnant anymore (the feeling good point) and started to let my mind worry me. Thankfully, the heartbeat was picked up right away in the high 140's.
