Baby’s Size: Sweet Potato
How far
along: 18 Weeks
Total
weight gain: I think I finally, officially, picked up that
4th pound. It doesn’t seem to be going up and down as much as it was
a week ago so I am calling it… 4 lbs.
Sleep: Eh.
That sciatic nerve pain is driving me crazy when I lay on my left side. Also,
Kenzie is still having off nights. Every other night or so we have an issue.
They usually don’t last long but this pregnant lady needs her sleep! =)
Maternity
Clothes: Of course.
Food
cravings: Hummus. Specifically Publix
brand garlic hummus. I love the stuff regularly but didn’t really feel like
eating it much… until about 3 days ago. I don’t know what came over me but I
had to have hummus. I held in the urge though. Until today. I had to go to the
store to get peanut butter and as soon as I walked in… I just went straight for
the hummus. I am really particular to that specific brand and flavor though and
it is sometimes hard to find. I almost had an all out crying fit when I initially
didn’t see it. Lucky for me (and maybe the people in Publix) I found one
container of it hiding in the back. Yum!
Food
aversions: Nothing except those breakfast burritos in the freezer.
Symptoms
I HAVE: Heartburn. Like it’s going out of style.
Sciatic nerve pain when I lay on my left or stand in one place for too long.
Some minor cramping like my uterus is stretching a bit more. Nothing that would
concern me. I’m used to it from Kenzie and I remember having it around this
time last time too. Oh, and an itchy tummy. Stretching skin, I figure.
Stretchmarks: No new
ones yet but I am having the itchy tummy issue. I am trying so hard to not
scratch too much and am using my lotion pretty regularly to try to avoid
scratching.
Doctor’s
Appointment: Just a couple of weeks
away.
Movement: Yeah.
It isn’t that often right now but I am getting definite movement off and on.
Again, less butterfly feelings and more actual movement.
Belly
Button (In or Out): In.
Wedding
Ring (On or Off): On.
Labor
Signs: None.
Gender: Less than 2 weeks!!! I can’t wait.
Happy
or Moody Most of the Time: I have felt pretty happy this week.
Best moment of the week: Nothing
really stands out as being out of the ordinary. I guess just having a good week
is a good thing. =)
What
I’m looking forward to: Memorial
Day weekend next weekend. We get to have Steven home for 3 days, then he works
for 3 days before he is off the Friday before the party so it should be a nice
easy week.
What I
miss: Nothing really. Maybe being able to sleep
without ending up in pain… or being called in a very sad voice from Kenzie’s
room in the middle of the night.
