18 Weeks


How far along: 18 weeks

Weight gain/loss: Still up 6-7lbs on my scale

Maternity clothes: Wearing the Bella Band with my work pants.  It's kind of annoying because I'm always pulling on it to readjust and make sure it is comfortable.
  
Stretch marks: Cocoa butter!

Symptoms: The stuffy nose issue is a little better.  I've noticed more sciatica nerve pain but it's probably because I'm on my feet more with Joey and lifting/carrying him.  Constipation is a little better....I am eating prunes and drinking warm water with lemon which has helped and I hope it continues to!

Sleep:  Not bad, just need to get more of it!

Best moment this week: Can't think of anything major this week

Gender: Really unsure this week

Belly button in or out: Too early


Food cravings:  No cravings but I'm glad I can eat mostly normal again.  And cook!

Movement: Here and there but not as much as I noticed with Joey.  Either this baby is quieter or is soothed by all the moving around I do so he/she doesn't move as much.  I notice more movement mid morning than any other time.

What I miss: Having more energy and not getting lightheaded easily

What I'm looking forward to: Our anatomy scan is next Friday!
