Weekly Survey - 18 Weeks!

2/5/14 (Pregnancy Journal Date)

(Baby E belly... 18 weeks! 3 snow days to give me more time to get over this sinus infection!)

(Daddy read another bedtime story to Baby E! Baby E must've liked this one, because he/she was moving around a lot afterwards! LOVE it!!!)



How far along?: 18 weeks!

This week, Baby E is the size of a: SWEET POTATO!

Maternity clothes?: Still just sometimes! More often than not, that's for sure! Plus, I'm loving my sweatpants when I'm not at work.

Total weight gain/ loss: Still gaining! My booty and thighs are getting huge! Ugh! 

Stretch marks?: Nope.

Sleep: Not as great this week, but I blame that more on this darn sinus infection (that I'm still trying to get over... It's been a week already! Miserable!!!)! 

Best moment this week: I am now pretty positive that I'm feeling our little peanut kick and move around in there... Such a weird and amazing feeling!! :)

Movement?: Yes!!! Feels like bubbles/ flutters right now, but I'm pretty positive I can feel our little one moving around and I LOVE it! 

Food cravings: Actually haven't had any strong cravings this week (think its because I have been sick and nothing sounds or tastes great to me!)! 

Anything making you queasy or sick?: Nope... Not that I can think of.

Have you started to show yet?: Oh my goodness, yes!! Especially this morning (Monday, February 10th) - I think my belly doubled in size over the weekend! YIKES!

Labor signs?: No.

 

Belly Button in or out?: In.

Wedding rings on or off?: On.

Happy or Moody most of the time?: Happy most of the time, but of course I still have my moments!

Symptoms: My hips have really started hurting at night, especially while trying to sleep! So, that hasn't been great fun... and I still have all the same symptoms from the past two weeks! The joys of pregnancy, right??! hehehe.

What I miss: Have really missed the exercising this past week and a half with being sick. Have also missed a few food things here and there.

What I'm looking forward to: SONO on Thursday (2/13/14) = We, hopefully, get to find out Baby E's gender!!! Also looking forward to our gender reveal party with family on 2/15/14!! So EXCITED!!!

Gender: As long as Baby E cooperates, we get to find out this week!! Yayyyy!!!

Milestones: (Based on pregnancy app) From today through the next four weeks, your baby's weight will increase by six times. The legs and arms will begin growing quickly to bring your baby's body into proportion. Believe it or not, the umbilical cord will also grow thicker and longer as your baby grows. Your baby is very active and is developing fingerprints this week. The hearing is becoming more acute and your baby now responds to different levels of light.  

Weekly Wisdom: Keep exercising, if you can, and keep getting rest!! I know I will soon miss those days of being able to rest whenever I want! hehehe.

 

I have LOVED feeling you move around in there, Baby E! Most amazing feeling ever!! We really hope you cooperate at our appointment on Thursday! Hopefully on our next post, we will be able to reveal if you are a little he or a little she! Momma thinks you are going to be a little he! Hmmmm... I guess we will find out!??! We just hope you are a healthy and happy baby, really!!!! We love you, so much, already!! Hugs and kisses, little one! :)
