18w1d


How far along: 18w1d

Total weight gain: 10 pounds!  [eek!]

Size and growth of the baby: 7oz. [or about the size of a bell pepper]
From my weekly email: Head to rump, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long and weighs almost 7 ounces. [S]he's busy flexing arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, although he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

Sex: unknown

Maternity clothes: Not quite...I'm on the line that I could go either way

Sleep: not good this week, but I got great sleep last night [finally]!

Best moment(s) of the week: the ultrasound!


Movement: still waiting, do to the position of my placenta the doctor said it could take a little longer

Food cravings/aversions: chocolate & ice cream [still]

Morning sickness: gone

Symptoms: some slight cramping/stomach pains, the doctor is not worried at all.  He's sure it's just round ligament pain

Belly button in or out: in

What I miss: tanning

What I'm looking forward to: painting the nursery!
