BUMPDATE: 18 WEEKS
How Far Along? 18 weeks
Weight Gain: About 5 pounds
Maternity Clothes: I own a few maternity items. I am mostly still trying to fit into my old clothes. Most of my pants and skirts don't zip up though, so I just wear really long tops to cover it...ooops.
Sleep: Sleep is pretty much nonexistent at this point. I wake up every hour and have to re-position my self. I'm not used to sleeping on my side. Its so uncomfortable. I am thinking about getting a pregnancy pillow soon. Naps have been my saving grace. They are the only time I can sleep without waking up constantly.
Best moment this week? Taylor has been so nice to me bringing me breakfast, making me dinner, and helping clean the house. I feel so lucky to have him.
Weird pregnancy moment? I have been having the weirdest dreams. Every morning I wake up and am so weirded out! They feel so real though. I just want them to stop.
Movement: I can feel like baby moving around sometimes. Baby is really active at night when I sit down to unwind. He or she also started moving around when I was listening to hymns yesterday. It was so cute. Little baby is going to be a singer just like mama.
Food Cravings: Cereal with lots of milk. Tangerines (I eat 5 a day I think). Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with a huge glass of milk. Nothings better. I have also been wanting balanced meals. Something with starch and veggies and protein and fruit and salt (love salt). If I feel like I haven't had one of those components throughout the day, I feel off balance.
Anything making you queasy? Working. Nothing makes me more nauseous.
Gender: We find out February 1st. 5 more days!! Taylor is pretty convinced that baby is a girl. We will see.
What I am looking forward to: Finding out the gender of this baby!! I am going crazy seeing things I want to buy for our nursery and can't until I find out what gender this baby is. I also can't wait to refurbish this crib I bought for $60. Such a steal!
