18 Weeks

Today I'm 18 weeks pregnant!

I took my work clothes off before getting my picture taken, here I'm in my lounging gear.

Size of Baby: Baby H is now about the size of a Bell Pepper and measures 5 1/2 inches long and weighs

  7 ounces.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: According to my scale at home I lost a few pounds.

Baby's heartbeat at last visit: 119 BPM

Maternity Clothes: Most of the time, except lounging around at home, I can wear my sweats and t-shirts.

Gender: We will be finding out on November 26th at our Gender Reveal Party!

 

Movement:  I think I've felt the "flutters" everyone is talking about. It's so amazing.

Sleep: I've been sleeping great! I usually have to get up once a night to go to the bathroom but other than that I've been sleeping great.

What I Miss: Besides beer, not much, this week at Jazzercise when I did a stretch song I realized I can not stretch as far or as hard as I used to. When I would bend over to stretch I could feel the pressure of the baby so I know he/she is there and I'll know I will miss that!

Cravings: Still nothing major, but I feel like I'm hungry ALL the time but nothing seems to satisfy me.

Symptoms: No symptoms yet, just my belly getting bigger.

Best Moment This Week: Visiting two different day cares, ABC Learning and Little Rascals, we are super excited to put our names on a waiting list. We have chosen ABC Learning, however it's hard to believe that we have to put a deposit down and the baby isn't even here yet but they have a waiting list all the way to June so we better get our name in.

Our department at work all dressed up for Halloween, here's a picture, not everyone dressed up, it was on a Monday and most people forgot all about it. Lot's of different departments dressed up, it was a fun day.
