Pregnancy Post: 18 Weeks

 

Pregnancy : Week 18

DATE: January 18, 2013

How far along: 18 weeks

Total Weight Gained: 4.4 pounds.  (Yes, I gained 3.2 pounds in ONE week.  No, I am not sure how that happened.  I guess my body is just catching up.  My dr. told me this would happen…but I still don’t lie to see such a big gain in ONE week.  Hopefully that tapers off now and I gain at a more reasonable rate.)

Maternity Clothes:  some this week.  I have a pair of Black skinny pants and a pair of jeans that I am wearing.  My SIL is pregnant too…but due on February 14.  I gave her all of my clothes before I was pregnant…so I have to hold out until she gives them back to me!

Sleep: Fine…but my kids are up all night.  Ugh.

Best Moment of the Week: Starting to see a bit of a bump (not sure how I REALLY feel about that, but I am going to embrace it I guess).

Movement: not that I can feel yet…

Food Craving: fruity candy….skittles and licorice.  And ice cream this week too.  This MAY have been a factor in my 3.2 pound gain this week.  Last week I craved fruit.

Food Aversions: none, really

Morning Sickness: none!  Hallelujah.

Gender: IDK…not finding out this time.  I don’t have a hunch yet…

Symptoms: growing belly, itchy skin.

What I miss: caffeine…I’m getting headaches.

What I'm looking forward to: Fetal Survey US next week!
