week 18

Week: 18

Weight gain: 5 lbs so far as of the official scale at the dr. office (didn't weigh myself this week)

Clothing: got a new maternity coat this week! yay for not freezing when it's 6 degrees outside on Wednesday :)

Best moment so far: feeling more movement

Movement: flutters getting stronger

Food cravings: I had spaghetti for breakfast this past Friday

Symptoms: still crazy hormones, pregnancy brain, and some cramps/ligament pain that kicks in when I've done too much. Need to listen to my body more and rest! It's hard finding a new "normal". 

Feeling: nervous, excited, anxious, happy, scared...all of the above. I was a bundle of emotions this weekend. God bless my husband for putting up with me and making me feel better!


Sleep: getting more difficult. Insomnia is back like crazy. Thank goodness for the new mattress in the guest room so I'm not always keeping Chris awake as well.

Rings: still on for now. But getting harder to take off. At some point I'll have to invest in a "dummy" ring from Wal-Mart or something. 

Baby is the size of a sweet potato this week! Definitely looking pregnant these days.
