18 Weeks Pregnancy Update

March 14, 2018

How far along:
18 weeks

Baby is the size of a:
Bell Pepper

Total weight gain:
17lbs.

Maternity Clothes?
Still both

Stretch Marks?
No

Sleep?
This week has been rough sleep wise, but only because I promised Fox that he can sleep in my bed while Mommy is on vacation and that kid is a wild sleeper. I separate us with my pregnancy pillow so he doesn’t kick me in the stomach and back all night long, but most of the night, he sleeps on top of said pillow or flops around the entire bed. Combine that with having to get up for the bathroom and sleep insomnia, I’m definitely getting prepared for sleepless nights this week. But he’s so happy and feels so special that he can sleep with me, I wouldn’t have it any other way right now.

Best moment of the Week:
I felt the baby move for the first time this weekend and have been feeling it every day since.

Movement:
See above!

Food Cravings:
Nothing special.

Belly Button in or out:
Definitely in.

Gender:
Check out my gender reveal post to find out, if you haven't yet!

Symptoms:
Still feeling good and I’m so grateful! I had a crazy amount of energy one day this week and cleaned out my entire closet and went through all the baby stuff we have! I even dropped off two trash bags full of stuff to Goodwill. To give you an idea, my closet is about 12 feet long and you could only enter the first three feet because we had so many boxes and clutter piled up on the floor. Now I can go all the way in the back! It felt amazing!
Still tired at night, but I’ve been running solo for a week with Fox and household duties, so that’s probably why.
Pregnancy Acne seems to be getting worse.

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?
Not eating in regular intervals.

Have you Started to Show yet?
Getting bigger every week.

What I miss:
A good night’s sleep and Katie! She’s been gone for almost a week now, so we still have two more weeks to go!

What I'm looking forward to:
My anatomy scan is in two days, can’t wait to see our little baby!

What I'm not looking forward to:
Nothing at the moment.

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
