How far along?: 18 weeks
Total weight gain: 131 lbs (Lost 1 lb this week...gained a total of 11 lbs)- Hoping to start a little walking this week. : )
Maternity clothes? Yes!! I am a huge fan of leggings. I could wear them everyday!!
Stretch marks? No stretch marks...but my belly and boobs have been so itchy. I have been using Johnson & Johnson shea butter/cocoa butter gel in the shower but by the end of the day I am so dry.
Sleep: 8:30-9:00 has become my new bedtime. Still working on sleeping on my side.
Best moment this week: I had an OB quick check on Tuesday. The baby's heartbeat was 148-150 bpm which is the lowest it has ever been. She had a little trouble finding it which was a little alarming since that has never been a problem. (Personally I just think it was the doctor. : / ) Speaking of doctor....I met a new doctor of the team. She seemed very nice. I am also SUPER excited....we scheduled our Anatomy Ultrasound for 9/23 (Two Weeks).
Gender: I think girl. Nick thinks boy.
Miss anything: Not really...but I do miss eating whenever I want. I don't get to snack as much being back at work so when I eat dinner I can seriously down 2 portions. I am a real fatty!!
Food cravings: Sweets...I can't get enough. I think it's becoming a problem. (And the chocolate/sweet addiction continues.)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing
Labor signs: NO!!
Wedding rings on/off: On
Mood: Feeling happy and exhausted...again!!! I think this might be a reoccurring thing. A couple people have commented that I am glowing. This where I am at... I love being pregnant, can't take much bullshit, and would love to have a nap during the day.
Looking forward to: (a.) Anatomy Scan is scheduled for 9/23 @ 1:45. Nick and I are taking a half day, going to lunch, then finding out everything we can about this little one!! (b.) Feeling the baby...I could have sworn I felt something strange today (Saturday 9/7) for like a split second but who knows. The doctor says usually first time moms start feeling something during week 19.
Fun Facts:
- The baby is the size of a sweet potato or green pepper.
- Hiccuping, yawning, sucking and swallowing are happening.
- Baby Wood is twisting, rolling, punching, and kicking.
