How far along: 18 weeks
Food comparison: Bell Pepper or Sweet Potato (12.7-14.6cm/ ~5.3oz.)
Weight gain: 10 lbs
Sleep: It was pretty terrible. My whole body hurt. My ribs, my hips, my kidneys. Apparently I don't do well sleeping on my sides only. But, I bought a pregnancy pillow! Ladies, if you are pregnant or when you get pregnant you HAVE to get one. The first night I slept with it, I slept like I had taken sleep meds. Wonderful. I will keep you updated if it stays wonderful.
Best moment of the week: Seeing our sweet baby on October 24th! I was having some unusual stomach pain and my doctor wanted to have an ultrasound to check things out just in case. Everything looked good. Healthy heartbeat of 156. We found out the gender a few weeks early! We got to see him moving around and swallowing. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. And we get to see him again in two weeks!
Movement: Not yet.
Food cravings: Food still doesn't really sound good. Most of the time it is a disappointment. I think something sounds good, mainly because I am hungry, and I eat it and it doesn't taste that great. Things I loved before pregnancy aren't really that good anymore. No cravings lately.
Food Aversions: The smell of cooking meat. The smell of coffee in the morning (which s really sad).
What I miss: Fried eggs over medium, sushi, wine.
Workouts: I should probably delete this question ;)
Stretch marks: Not yet
Maternity clothes: A pair of maternity pants and a few maternity shirts. I love them, and seeing my bump =)
Belly button: In
Gender: BOY!!!!
Symptoms: Same morning sickness... Started at about 6 weeks and hasn't let up. I throw up every morning and then take some Zofran, sometimes I throw up again at lunch, some days I make it through. If I don't take medicine I am horribly sick all day and will throw up all day, food or no food.
Back pain has been better the past few weeks. Still hurts here and there, but nothing like it was. Now I have some belly pain, which may just be stretching pains.
Rings: Off =(
Mood: Still very happy and very excited! So excited to know the gender and be able to start planning the nursery! I still love being pregnant.
Labor signs: No
Upcoming appts/events: November 13th is our "anatomy scan". Even though we know the gender, apparently they like to look at the organs during a certain time frame. So we get to see our sweet boy again in two weeks. I am not complaining. =)
