18 weeks

 

 

How far along: 18 weeks, 0 days

 

Total weight gain: About 10 lbs. 

 

Maternity Clothes: 1 pair of jeans and 1 shirt so far.  I am having to wear long tank tops under my regular shirts now so that they are long enough.

 

Stretch Marks: Not yet

 

Sleep:  Sleeping is getting easier.  I'm getting up to go to the bathroom less and less.

 

Best moment this week:  Christmas :)  We have a growing collection of baby things.  Seems like a lot to me since we have 5 months to go, but I know we are going to be getting so much more in the weeks to come!

 

Movement: Nothing yet, I found out I have an anterior placenta, so it will be closer to 20 weeks before I feel anything :(

 

Food cravings:  Milk and mandarin oranges (not at the same time)

 

Anything making you queasy: The Flu :(

 

Have you started to show yet:  Yes!  My bellybutton is getting shallower too.

 

Gender prediction:  It's a boy! Confirmed!

 

Labor signs:  Too soon!

 

Belly Button:  In, but getting shallower.

 

Wedding Rings:  On!

 

Happy or Moody:  Happy

 

Milestones: Made it through Christmas, with the flu, while pregnant.  Also, the husband and I agreed on crib bedding, only to discover it was discontinued 2 years ago and cannot be bought ANYWHERE (even Amazon/eBay!)

 

Looking forward to:  Feeling movement.  I'm hoping I can feel something by week 20.
