18 weeks

18 weeks

How far along? 18 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Unsure. I haven't measured in awhile
Maternity clothes? Still not wearing any. I'm really starting to get closer to needing to buy some, but it just isn't worth it right now.
Stretch marks? Not any that are new.
Sleep: I sleep okay, it's a little harder right now since Colton isn't home during the weeks and I sleep worse when I'm here by myself. I also wake up really hot every night so that makes it hard.
Best moment this week: having my next doctors appointment. Everything is looking great and baby had a strong super easy to find heartbeat of 154. Even though I have been feeling the baby move it still makes me so nervous every appointment so it was nice to have reassurance that everything is still going good.
Miss anything? I don't think there is anything really, I still do everything the same basically.
Movement: Lots and lots. I am seriously loving it. This week I have felt some actual real kicks, instead of just the rolly bubbly feelings. It's been the best. I seriously wonder if I had an anterior placenta with Elli or something because I already feel this baby more than I did with her until the very end of my pregnancy.
Food cravings: I still really want Zupas, but I don't really get strong cravings.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing yet. I actually even ate eggs this week and was fine with them.
Have you started to show yet: I'm slowly starting to.
Gender: Two more weeks and we find out! I'm seriously dying to know!
Labor signs: Nothing yet.
Bell button in or out? IN
Wedding rings on or off? Still on, gets a little tight in the mornings or when I'm really warm, but still can wear it.
Happy or moody most of the time: I'm mostly happy. I get a little moody when I start to get really tired though.
Looking forward to: Having Colton in town for a few weeks, finding out the gender in a few weeks.

Your Baby is as Big as a Sweet Potato

• Can you believe she's yawning, hiccuping, sucking and swallowing?
• And she's twisting, rolling, punching and kicking, too — and she's big enough that you might be able to feel her doing it!

She's about 5.6 inches long and about 6.7 ounces now and she keeps on growing rapidly. (That's why you're probably feeling so hungry.)
