18 Weeks



How far along? 18 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss:
122 lbs -- +2 lbs total
Maternity clothes? Still in between!!  I'm starting to need maternity clothes more and more by the day though.
Belly Measurement: 35 in

HB: 165 BPM
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I have been sleeping with my body pillow again, after taking a break from it.  I sleep so much better with it.  Poor Shawn has no room in our bed though when I sleep with it.
Best moment this week? I didn't get my anatomy scan this week.  Dr. Altman decided we would do it at my next appointment on November 1st.  We did get to hear Carter's heartbeat on the doppler, in the office, and as soon as Dr. Altman put it to my belly we got to hear Carter kick it away.   
Miss Anything? Nope
Movement: I felt him a little more this last week.  It still isn't consistent but when I feel him, it is so amazing.
Food cravings: I'm back to my nothing sounds good phase. I hate this part!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still brushing my teeth.  Why is it so horrible?
Have you started to show yet: My bump is becoming a little more prominent.  I had just ate dinner before taking this picture so I sadly think that's what is helping me.
Gender: BOY!!
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Fatigue, Headaches and now Dizziness.  I get dizzy going from sitting to standing quite frequently.  I'll also get it while just standing for a while.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Weekly Wisdom: Take your weekly picture before work.  A full day being on your feet leads to a tired looking Mama.
Looking forward to: The Wine and Cheese Festival in town is this coming up Saturday and Sunday.  I'm excited for all the food! Papusas, fried anything, Lockford Sausage, Fruit Smoothies.... I'm going to gain so much weight!
