18 weeks

September 11, 2014

How far along? 

18 weeks

+0.8 lbs total

Added 2 inches to my waist and hips

Maternity clothes? 

Not wearing any yet

Sleep:  

Getting up once a night

Best moment this week:  

Feeling the baby from the outside!

Miss Anything?

Not being tired

Movement: 

Nothing like flutters or kicks yet- but I really think I can feel the baby sometimes from the outside when a little hard spot is on my belly and then turns back to squish. This happens almost every day or every other day. Tonight it got hard to the size of my whole hand and we measured it- it was 5.5 inches which is how long the baby is supposed to be right now! So maybe Pebble put the whole back against my uterus so I could feel it. :) Pretty cool! (If what I'm thinking is happening is really happening and not something else)

 
Food cravings: 

Nothing in particular 

 
Anything making you queasy or sick: 

Not anymore! Just 1 time of sickness this week.
