All About Momma
How far along? 18 Weeks
Total weight gain: 10 pounds.
Maternity clothes? None yet, but I'm sewing some super cute stretchy maxi skirts that I'm sure will be more comfortable than my regular clothes.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Pretty good, I've figured out a good way to get more comfy using an extra pillow.
Best moment this week: Going to the doctor again today! Dr. Lunt said everything is looking good, the heart beat was about 155 bpm, and Dr. Lunt joked that baby is probably a girl!
Miss Anything? Nope!
Movement: Yes! Little nudges and swimming sensations, especially when I'm listening to music. One thing's for sure, this is definitely our baby! Haha
Food cravings: Fruit! (The other night I brought home a cup of raspberries in syrup from work.. the stuff we put in our raspberry shakes.. and I ate it plain.) And some veggies.. like celery. And cucumbers are suuuper tasty right now.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I haven't noticed any lately!
Labor signs: no
Symptoms: It is getting more uncomfortable to do my stretches after I work out, or stand up from a sitting position on the floor like I usually do, like something is... in there. ;)
Belly button in or out? In!
Wedding ring on or off? On during the day, but I get really warm at night and my hands swell up a little so I take my rings off when I go to bed.
Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy.. but I have my grumpy moments.
Looking forward to: Getting this move over with so I can be less stressed out. I'm excited to be so close to the halfway point of the pregnancy! Oh, and I can't wait to find out if we're have a boy or girl!!
