Bump Update Week 18

How Far Along:   18 Weeks! 2 more weeks and I am half way!

Size of baby:  7 ounces and 5 1/2 inches long, the size of a bell pepper!

Total weight gained/lost:  I'm  sitting at about a 4 lb gain. That is saying my parent's bathroom scale is accurate.

Maternity Clothes:  For the most part I am wearing all my normal clothes. I can't button the pants but rubberbands have taken care of the problem!

Gender:  We find out on Thursday January 2nd!

Movement: I have only felt a couple of flutter kicks and flips and it is so cool!

Sleep: I have stopped waking up in the middle of the night..for now that is. I can't really sleep on my stomach anymore and that's sad.

Symptoms:  My lower back gets really sore by the end of the day and I have been more tired this trimester than I was the first.

What I miss:  Nothing really. I have had it pretty easy.

Cravings: I'm not really craving much lately. I'll eat pretty much anything these days. I do want pizza haha

Best Moment this week:  Spending Christmas with our families and feeling the baby move some more! 

What I am looking forward to: Finding out the gender! I am so ready to know what this little babe is!

Bump Update Week 15

So the news is out and has been for awhile. We are expecting and we are so excited! I am updating this more for my own memory so I can remember all the things that came along with this pregnancy.  So far I have zero complaints. I feel SO grateful with how smooth this whole process has been up to this point. I have very little nausea, just some mid afternoon/evening nausea, but anyone can handle that! I have been able to keep my energy pretty high so far and have not felt too many side effects from the whole thing ;). I cannot wait to start feeling the baby move and see it grow more and more. I 'popped' early on but then my bump has stayed about the same size for the past few weeks, which is fine with me!

Here is the update:

How far along are you? 15 almost 16 Weeks! 

How are you feeling? Still feeling great! Never got any morning sickness just a little afternoon nausea and I haven't been nauseous since before week ten. I have started to get headaches and leg cramps but I can handle that!

Do you have stretch marks? Nope.

Have you felt the baby move? No! They say anywhere from 16-20 weeks so I am hoping sooner rather than later!

How big is the baby? I have heard apple and potato so somewhere in between! It is about 5 inches long!. 

Maternity clothes? I can uncomfortably fit into my regular jeans so I prefer some maternity pants but I still wear all my normal, loose shirts.

Sleep? I sleep pretty well most nights. I do wake up about 1-2 times a night just depending. 

Food cravings? Not really. Just mainly salty things, no sweets! That is a good thing!

Anything you miss? Not really. Eggnog this season.

Best moment this week? We get to see the baby tomorrow and I am hoping we can maybe find out the gender! That is if the baby cooperates and Grant wants to find out!
