Today's date: Oct 26, 2011
How far along: 18 weeks
Total weight gain: 4lbs -- finally weighed myself this morning and I'm up 1lb!
Size of the baby: 5.6 in ; size of a sweet potato.
Sex: November 8th!! November 8th!! November 8th!! November 8th!!
Maternity clothes: None. Still wearing the bigger work pants/jeans the hubby got me. I actually fit into my khakis, size 5. I was surprised lol they must have been super stretchy.
Sleep: Sleeping good. I want so badly to sleep on my stomach, though!
Best moment(s) of the week: Today, my first day off in 7 days!
Movement: Still feeling little jabs throughout the day :) Some days less than others, some days more than most. M and I can feel him ( I keep saying him, what if it's a girl! Just don't want to call the baby "it" lol ) the most at night after we eat and I take my prenatals and iron. We joke and say the baby is GTLing in there hahaha! For non Jersey Shore fans, GTL is Gym Tanning and Laundry. So he's more Gyming in there lol
Food cravings: Still oatmeal :) Since last week I feel I've been eating much better. I have always kept an eye on what I eat. For awhile there I was just eating whatever I wanted lol But have been more on track the last few weeks. Eating well makes me feel better all around. Also been in love with cinnamon raisin toast. Yumm!
Food aversions: Still not into chicken. It doesn't make me feel sick if I eat it or anything, just doesn't sound appetizing.
Morning sickness: So far, so good.
Symptoms: Bad breakouts still :( super gassy, I'm sorry, that's gross! And my boobs have grown, more. <-- all the same. Also, M noticed mood swingy lol he said I'm bipolar; happy and loud one day, and "you don't care" the next lol I would say I've been happier than sad etc. & belly has been itchy!
Labor signs: Too soon.
Belly button in or out: In.
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach and sushi.
What I'm looking forward to: Nov 8, 2011. We get to find out the sex on this day!!!! <---this still! & Monday at work we are having a Halloween carry in. I'm making ghosts on broomsticks :) I love work on days when it's a food carry in day haha :)
Whatever you do DON'T scratch if your belly itches. Supposedly that makes the stretch marks come out more. If you're gunna get em you're gunna get em but don't help them along! Just put lotion on instead.
ReplyDeleteI've been bad about this! When I itch I can't help but scratch. :/
