18 Weeks Along

July 3rd

How Far Along: 18 Weeks (45% done!)

Size of baby: Sweet potato (5.5 inches long, 5oz)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 1.0 lb

Maternity Clothes: Normal clothes but added the belly band to make my pants last longer. I need to buy a few pairs of maternity dress pants. A lot of the ones my sister and I had have been well worn and are outdated. I need to do some Old Navy maternity shopping

Gender: The gender reveal is tonight at our 3^rd of July party.  But I actually already know. And so does Kyle.

Movement: flutters. I am so anxious for the boys to feel the baby. It is a while away and I may regret wishing for kicks later. 

Sleep: Still flip from side to side. 

What I miss: sleeping on my stomach and back

Cravings: Chipotle, Rosa’s, breakfast tacos (like Taco Cabana, Tio Tony’s, not sonic and stuff like that)

Symptoms: I am feeling good. Some stretching pains if I move to quickly, but this was a good week.   

Best Moment this week: I opened the envelope Saturday night. I decided that I wanted to know already so I can enjoy watching everyone else react. I especially want to see the boys’ reactions.  Have I mentioned how much fun it is experiencing this pregnancy with the boys? I just love it! 

Hardest Moment this week: Not opening that envelope. And then deciding if I wanted to. And now keeping the secret.

I can't wait: For the gender reveal and to start talking names

Next dr appt is July 9^th. Anatomy sono with doctor is July 23^rd.
