Week 18

Oops just realized I never posted this one!

Pregnancy Stats:

How Far Along: 18 weeks (and a couple of days)

Size of baby: Baby Page is the size of a sweet potato. Meanwhile my uterus is the size of a cantaloupe - GOO!!!!

Total Weight Gain: 2 lbs

Gender: Hopefully will be our Christmas surprise!

Movement: Oh yeah! Loving the fluttery feelings. I keep telling people it feels like when you take a goldfish out of the fish bowl and it flops around in your hand. Awesome, but kind of creepy too!

Sleep: I've been having AWFUL nightmares... I mean awful. Nothing seriously scary, just always stressful. I wake up stressed and upset about them all night long and every time I go back to sleep it's the same dream, I just pick up where I left off. UGH!! I just want a peaceful night of sleep like old times. I don't even mind getting up to go pee all the time, just want to have better dreams.

What I miss: Beer. Yep.... beer.

Cravings: Chocolate milk (speaking of... haven't had a glass in a few hours...) & Chile Limon Lay's Chips.

Symptoms: Trouble breathing lately, everything feels all squished up in my abdomen and my normal daily hiccups are in overdrive! I'm talking 8-10 times a day.

Maternity Clothes: Just got two new maternity dresses and a cute short sleeve wrap cardi. Love!

Best Moment this week: Finally feeling like I'm expecting a baby. I've felt pregnant the entire time (trust me, I've had like EVERY symptom possible), but just this week with the consistent movement in my belly and finally wanting to nest I feel like a mama. Yay!
