tiny spines and bigger boobs...woot, woot






How far along? 18 weeks 
Total weight gain/loss: 8 pounds (current weight 144 yikes)
Maternity clothes? couple pairs of pants
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: good
Best moment this week: week 18...our ultrasound appointment we got to see so many images of you...your spine and profile was my favorite! The ultrasound technician put your image in an envelope for us to find out if you are a boy or girl, we haven't looked yet (waiting for our 4 year anniversary this week)!!!! On a side note for another best moment: getting many compliments on my boobs growing...hey I will take it, never had that before...woot woot!  

Have you told family and friends: yes, but not if you are a boy or girl yet and it's driving them crazy ;) 
Miss Anything? I do fine in my regular rountines but we just had my mom's bday dinner and I do miss wine in the evenings around family get-togethers, it's just nice to sip and talk to my girls with wine. 
Movement: Maybe some little flutters but nothing too huge. Every doctor has made note of how much of a mover you are. The ultrasound technician was laughing because you would flip and turn with each image she tired to get. 
Food cravings: Cereal on the daily and I just finished off a huge thing of applesauce in 3 days =/ 
Anything making you queasy or sick: no
Have you started to show yet: yes, just a little bump. My kids still keep saying they can't tell I am pregnant though. 
Gender prediction: ?soon we will see? 
Labor Signs: no 
Belly Button in or out? In 
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: happy but have been sick with a cold for a week. Not being able to take anything is a bummer when you feel so bad. But the natural way works just fine....just had to take a couple days off work to rest (which I never do). 
Weekly Wisdom: pregnancy has given me an idea of how we should live more often... slow down, rest when your body needs it, eat better and think about what you put in your body, drink water all day, stay active and just be happy. You think on these things more often when it's not about just you anymore. Taking care of yourself helps those around you more than you think, you are better for them. 
Looking forward to: 
so many things my mind can't keep up!!! 
Nicknames so far: sweet baby (i know, i know...where did I come up with that one ;)
