Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon.
* How far along?: 18 weeks
* Total weight gain:up 4
* How big is baby?: about 5.5 inches long
* Next appointment: May 25 at 8:30!
* Maternity clothes?: I am transitioning. Wearing almost all maternity clothes at least at work, but I need more capris, so I am in regular ones today... the lowest ones I have and they are unbuttoned. :)
* Stretch marks?: No new ones, the old ones are pretty faded.
* Sleep?: Eh. I have my nights. I am always up once or twice but most of the time I can get right back to sleep. Last night was hot and I had to sleep downstairs on the comfy twin bed because my back was KILLING me. (2 hour assembly on bleachers= not a good idea for a pregnant woman.)
* Best moment this week?: Have felt baby a few times (still irregular) and several people have said they can for sure see my bump. Bump is better than just looking like a muffin top!
* Movement?: occasional
* Food cravings?: Sweets way too much. Yesterday it was what I could choke down. Still sick once or so a week.
* Pregnancy symptoms: acne is still awful. occasional nausea. Food aversions.
* Labor signs?: no
* Belly button in or out?: In
*Gender: 3 weeks from today we could find out. I am not sure what we are going to do.
* What I miss: Having more than a few pants to chose from- I need to find some capris this weekend. Hoping to hit up the consignment store or else DM after a possible zoo trip tomorrow.
* What I'm looking forward to: ultrasound, feeling movement more, Nick feeling the baby.
* Milestone: Gender organs are developed regardless of which gender baby is.
