Baby Bump Diaries: Week 18

How far along?:  18.3

Total weight gain/loss: Down seven still  

Showing yet?: Well, you can judge in the picture update. I don’t really feel it but everyone is telling me that my weight is relocating and I’m looking heavier/pregnant in the front

Gender Prediction: Girl – we find out soon!!!

Movement: I haven’t felt anymore kicks this week but I’m pretty sure I can still tell when the baby is moving around.



Morning Sickness?: Yes…ish. On Wednesday I had this random bout of not feeling well at dinner and nothing sounded good. Theory is that I hadn’t eaten enough (especially protein) that day or in a long time and it made me get sick cause it never happens anymore.


Food cravings: Fruits, veggies (Brussel sprouts are back in stores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)  and Sugar cookie dough. I just looked up an eggless recipe online so I might be making that this week.

Food aversions: Chicken is almost normal but sometimes I just can’t stand it. Fried/greasy foods and excessive sugar which is why I think making sugar cookie dough will back fire after two bites.

 
Moods: I’m not a crier and I’m still not but pregnancy is attempting to turn me into one. I defiantly get emotional over stilly things and I start want to cry but can always stop myself, mostly because I start laughing at myself. I also get cranky when I’m hungry but that was pretty normal before.

Best moment this week: Nick and a friend of ours put up shelves for me in our owners closet so I was able to stop using plastic storage bins on their sides for shelves. Due to the shelves being bigger and stronger I was able to empty a ton of things from the baby’s room (we just started calling it that instead of the guest room, I love it) to the owners closet. It feels like we’re taking steps to get the room ready.

Miss anything: Energy, I’ve been extra tired this week. I slept for 11 hours one night, woke up and within an hour feel back asleep for another hour ½ and still wanted to go to bed early that night. The baby must be growing.


Labor Signs: Nope

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Looking forward to this week: Checkout day (it’s today)! The people renting the condo below us this week smoke out on the patio and consequently we can’t open the windows during the day and enjoy the amazing weather we’re having. Dang weekly condo renters, can’t wait for off season when we don’t have neighbors for a month or two.
