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.

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...

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse.  Fox brought this home from schoo...
