18 weeks!

How far along? 18 weeks and 1 day!

How big is baby? The size of a sweet potato!

Total weight gain/loss: I'm the same as I started out! Weird, because my pants definitely don't fit anymore!

Maternity clothes? Yep. Since 16 weeks I've been basically in all maternity pants, but I can get away with mostly pre-pregnancy tops!

Sleep: It's getting hard to get used to side sleeping! I'm a back sleeper, so that's throwing a wrench in my sleep schedule.

Best moment this week: Feeling some movement!

Movement: I felt a super hard punch/kick/butt bump/head butt this week. So weird but so cool at the same time!

Food cravings: Right now, I could dominate a bagel with cream cheese.

Food Aversions: Fried stuff still doesn't sit well with me.

Gender: A sweet little boy!

Labor Signs: Nope! I am having some growing ligament pains though. And my hips! Oh my.

Pregnancy Symptoms? Sinus stuff. Moodiness. Sore boobies. Belly stuff.

Belly Button in or out? In.

What I miss: Being able to sleep on my belly/back!

What I am looking forward to: Painting that nursery! Blue!

Upcoming appointments: Wednesday I'm meeting with the midwife to make sure everything is ok!

Weekly Wisdom: Preggo brain takes over. No matter how much you think you can remember everything, you definitely don't.

Milestones: Baby Boy has his fingerprints! 


Bump Picture: This is from yesterday! We stopped home from a little trip to Gatlinburg in the Great Smoky Mountain National Forest to take our 18 week photo :) (terrible picture of me, but you can see a wee little bump!)

It's a...


BOY!

We have a cute little baby boy growing in my belly! He's starting to look like a real baby now, and so cute! 
We are still narrowing down names, but I'm so in love with this little man already! 


We make a habit of praying for this little one everyday, but especially before appointments. We are so blessed to have this little guy become a part of our lives soon! 5 more months! I can't wait to hold him and kiss him and pinch those little buns!

16 weeks!

How far along? 16 weeks!

How big is baby? The size of an avocado :) 

Total weight gain/loss: I'm the same as I started out! Weird, because my pants definitely don't fit anymore!

Maternity clothes? Yep. Officially in all maternity pants now at 16 weeks! So comfy! I should have converted earlier ;)

Sleep: We are still a little sick here, but sleep has been ok! 

Best moment this week: We find out Boy or Girl tomorrow!

Movement: I can't feel our little one moving yet! I can't wait!

Food cravings: It's begun... everything! 

Food Aversions: Fried stuff still doesn't sit well with me.  

Gender: Tomorrow!

Labor Signs: Nope! I am having some growing ligament pains though. And my hips! Oh my. 

Pregnancy Symptoms? Sinus stuff. Moodiness. Sore boobies. Belly stuff. 

Belly Button in or out? In.

What I miss: I miss my boobs not hurting!

What I am looking forward to: Painting that nursery! Blue or Pink! 

Upcoming appointments/events:  Check up tomorrow! Should be able to tell what we are having if baby is cooperating! 

Weekly Wisdom: No matter how much you brush your pearly whites, they are going to come back red. Bleeding gums suck! 

Milestones: Baby is growing those pretty eyelashes (which I hope are like my husband's!)

Bump Picture: This is from earlier this week: More like 15 weeks!
