18 WEEKS | PRINCESS IS THE SIZE OF A SWEET POTATO | 5.6 INCHES & 6.7 OZ
It's funny that she is a sweet potato this week. My Gramma (Dad's Mom) called me that all my life..."sweet potato". It's funnier now because all these years I thought it was just a term of endearment but my Mom explained to me that it was really because my Billirubin count was high and I was orange, like a sweet potato. My Gramma always did have a dry sense of humor!
THIS WEEK.....princess is hiccuping, yawning, swallowing, twisting, rolling, punching and kicking. Lots of activity going on in my belly. If only I had a glimpse at what she was up to. That would be awesome!
How far along? 18 weeks along
Total weight gain or loss: 12 lbs
Maternity clothes? Yes....but still fitting in regular tops. After trying on all my summer stuff for this trip my ass doesn't fit in ANY bottoms!
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Sleeping great but keeping waking up sporadically.
Best moment this week: RELAXING for once!!!!
Miss Anything? Sushi and drinks!
Movement: Yes. Started to feel little kicks on my right side and middle 3 fingers from my belly button last week. Still the same. It's really sporadic so I find myself flipping out if I don't feel anything for a day. Gotta remember she is still so tiny and floating around in lots of fluid....well that's what I keep telling myself.
Food cravings: Can't get enough fruit, juices & gummy candy. Also been craving fish tacos...Jeff and I make the best ones at home.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I can do without pork.
Labor Signs: God no!! Crazy how far away it seems that I will actually say yes.
Symptoms: Sore boobies, restless sleep, still sleepy (not as bad as it was).
Belly Button in or out? In, I really hope it doesn’t turn into and outie, that grosses me out!! It is starting to get flatter towards the bottom and my piercing is starting to frown :(. Once my uterus moves up more it's game over.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy happy HAPPY!!
Looking forward to: Just enjoying each day, soaking in the rest of my time away and my belly growing more and more.
Other stuff: Still getting nosebleeds (even on the beach), spotty skin on my face, sore and dry boobs! I am also hungry as a mofo! All I think about is food and what my next meal will be.
