Baby Yeah- 18 weeks



Size of baby: 
A sweet potato. 5 1/2 inches long and 7oz. By the size of my tummy, I could have a whole sack of potatoes in there.. yikes! 

My total weight gain: 
8lbs. Held steady this week!

Stretch marks: 
Nope

Maternity clothes: 
Jeans... yes. I'm officially pretty uncomfortable in my jeans. So I tore my closet apart last night to discover the cute H&M skinny jeans from my first pregnancy are just gone. I must have accidentally gotten rid of them. Sad!!! So shopping is in my future for some preggo jeans. I am still fine in my legging pants though. My maternity shirts are still too big, so I'm making my normal shirts work. 

Movement: 
I'm feeling quite a bit just today, actually! The movement has picked up in the last few days.. still mostly when I eat, or lay on my left side.   

Sleep: 
Pretty good.. still needing an early morning bathroom break. 

What I miss: 
Runny eggs again.. going out to breakfast over the weekend, I almost did it (once wouldn't hurt, right??) but changed my mind. 

Food cravings: 
Still nothing very strong. I've been eating a lot of cottage cheese lately, and Asian food still sounds good. I'm getting a sweet tooth and I "need" a bit of sweet after meals. So far, that is satisfied by just a little chocolate and I've haven't had to resort to Twix-hunting throughout my building like I did with Austin. 

Symptoms: 
Moodiness, quick temper... I was not exactly the nicest person again last week. I know I'm being mean, I just can't help it. I also had my stupid cold sore pop out on my lip. ARGH!!!!!!!! I got it 3 times when I was pregnant with Austin, so I knew it was bound to happen as least once. All the stress on my system and all that. I just hate them... painful, I can't open my mouth without pain, and they are embarrassingly ugly. I hope this is the only one I have to deal with. 

Austin is: 
Just Austin! Doing great and spent a long weekend down at Grama's! I still feel a bit of fear about how I will make sure he still feels special with the new baby, and knows he is my love and always will be.. I hope I ok making him feel special and loved.
