How far
along: 18 weeks!
Baby Size: 9
oz.
Weight
gain: 12 Lbs.
Maternity clothes: Finally
made the switch to jeans – where have these things been all my life they are so
comfortable!
Stretch marks: None as of yet :)
Sleep: Very good – The Bump Nest has been a lifesaver
Gender: Find out on
Saturday - counting down the days but my gut tells me it’s a boy!
Movement: I have felt a few little flutters although the little one is very active
during ultrasounds
Best moment this
week: Having our 18 Week Anatomy Scan and seeing
the little one grow so much is so exciting – also can’t forget the Patriots
winning the Super Bowl – If I have my say we will have a future New England
Pats fan in the making!
Looking forward to:
My sister and her boyfriend visiting
this weekend and of course the Gender Reveal on Saturday!
Food
cravings: I have never been a
big sweets/chocolate fan but lately I can’t get enough of ice cream and
cupcakes – ohhh and McDonald's cheeseburgers – so yummy!
Anything making you
queasy or sick: Eggs are still skeeving me out a bit
Labor Signs: Nope
What I miss: I have missed the
occasional glass of red wine – especially during the Super Bowl
Symptoms: None lately other than backaches and still get tired more than usual
Nursery: All painted Michael just needs to finish the trim!
Belly Button in or
out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: Lately I have been in a great mood and not nearly as many mood swings as the first trimester I still cannot believe how incredible of a feeling this is and there is nothing more important to me in life right now than taking care of this little one and already planning to give it the safest and best life we possibly can.
Products I cannot
live without:
Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil – I swear this has saved my skin
Paige Denim Maternity Jeans – My girlfriend recommended these and they are a comfort lifesaver
