18 Weeks

how far along? 18 weeks

how are you measuring? 18 weeks ( I assume!)

size of baby? a sweet potato

heartbeat? 144 bpm (as of 1-31)

total weight gain/loss? Looks like I gained 10 lbs in from 12 weeks to 16 weeks..I was kind of freaking out about it, but my Dr. said I was still at -5 from beginning of pregnancy.

maternity clothes? My Mom bought me two more pairs of pants, jeans, and 3 shirts yesterday!  My jeans are still ok, but work pants def. maternity!

stretch marks? Yes, but that is from gaining weight from before getting pregnant..:(

sleep? I am up about every 3 hours...to go pee or to change positions...So still the same!

best moment this week? Seeing sweet baby at our high level scan, finding out they are a BOY for sure, Mom buying us some cute baby clothes,  picking out furniture, and some stuff that we want to register for!

movement? I think I am feeling "flutters" occasionally!  I cant' wait to really feel him!

food cravings? Orange juice still and now more spicy stuff!

gender predictions? Definitely a BOY!!  Wyatt Allen!

what i miss? Taking a hot bath, and I still don't have as much energy as I would like..During the day, it's definitely better, but by night time I am pretty wiped by 8/9 pm!

what i'm looking forward to?  20 week appointment on the 21st, and this week seeing some friends/family while I am in Austin for a Technology convention. 

how are you feeling? Energy is much better, but my lower back is bothering me off and on. Hopefully continuing the chiropractic care will help with this!  I also was diagnosed by high risk Dr. that I have a complete placenta previa...I am not terribly worried, but if it doesn't move up, that means a c-section for sure. If I start bleeding, probably bed rest. So praying that all stays the same or improves for sure!
 Definitely a 18 week baby bump!
 Cute outfit my Mom bought!
Sweet robe and slippers!

Well that explains the back pain :-/ Praying the PP resolves on its own so that's one less thing (on a very long list, I know!) to worry about.
