How far along: 18 weeks
Total weight gain: Still only at 3.8 lbs gained. WAHOO!
Maternity clothes: I still wear leggings a lot of the time. You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find plus size maternity jeans… So, I guess for the remainder of this pregnancy I will be wearing skirts, dresses & leggings, which I don’t mind.
Stretch marks: Sadly, yes. I’ve started to get a couple on each side by my rib cage.
Sleep: I’m actually sleeping pretty well. I get up in the middle of the night maybe twice a week.
Best moment of this week: Having our 18 week appointment & hearing our little man’s heartbeat (steady & strong at 154 🙂 )
Miss anything: I miss not being miserable during the summer. This 100 degree, dry heat drains me.
Movement: I know for a fact that he is moving around in there, but I haven’t had any distinct kicks, that I know of.
Food cravings: Salty still, but at the moment, I really, REALLY want some sushi in my mouth..
Anything making you queasy or sick: Anything too sweet, meat & eggs. I get really sick in the morning if I don’t have anything in my stomach. It makes working early in the morning really difficult.
Have you started to show yet: Not really, but I’m feeling bigger around the middle.
Gender: Boy!!
Wedding rings on or off: Because of the heat, I’m starting to swell a little in my hands. I ordered a simple 3mm tungsten band to wear. #claustrophobiaissues
Happy or moody most of the time: Lately, I’ve been SO emotional. Little things make me hit the extreme of being happy, sad, or frustrated to the point that I cry.
Looking forward to: Our 20 week appointment when we see all of the measurements and get an update on his due date 🙂
