18 weeks!!!

I am now 18 weeks!! I have felt pretty good this past week aside from the migraine headaches.  I have been able to feel the baby move more and more this week.  So exciting!

At this point in my pregnancy I am still able to fit into all my regular clothing, including my jeans.  I have a feeling this might be my last week in my regular jeans because I have to admit they are starting to get a little snug.  I must admit I  am looking forward to those comfy maternity jeans!! They are so comfortable!
This week the baby is busy flexing it's arms and legs! Their blood vessels are visible through their thin skin, and the ears are now in their final position. 

Here are my 18 week highlights!

Pregnancy Highlights!

How far along?18 weeks 3 days

Size of Baby?  This week the baby is about the size of a Bell Pepper and weighs approximately 7 ounces!!!

Weight Gain/Loss? According to my scale at home I believe I have gained about 2 pounds.  (7 pounds total)

Maternity Clothes?   Still able to fit into my regular tops and jeans but the jeans are getting a little snug. :)  I am sure in the next few days I will make my way into my maternity jeans!

Best Moment this week?   Feeling the baby move more and more!! It is such an amazing feeling!! I can actually play place my hand on my belly and feel the tiny little kicks through my belly! I love it!

Gender? We find out May 15th!!! 

Movement?  YES and it is amazing!! One of my favorite parts of my pregnancy with Brayden was feeling him move all the time! Such a wonderful feeling! 

Food Craving?   I am hungry all the time!!! Here lately I have been craving BIG MACS of all things!! Talk about healthy! Thankfully my other cravings have been veggies! Salads, corn, green beans, etc!

What I miss?   I truly do not miss a thing.  I do, however, hate suffering from these headaches!! They are driving me crazy! I have to say that this pregnancy has been COMPLETELY different than the last one so far.  Nothing about the two have been the same!

Sleep? I am still sleeping really well up to this point.

What I am looking forward to? Finding out what this baby is! Just two more weeks!! I am ready to shop and start on the room and of course start calling this sweet little one by name!

Symptoms?  My morning sickness is so much better than it was.  I still have my moments where I get sick at my stomach but it is definitely better! On the other hand, I have headaches all the time. I have at least one migraine a week!!

Here are my 18 week photos!

Have a great week!!
