Week 18

Week: 18

P Size: About the length of a bell pepper.

Total Weight Gain/loss: +13

Stretch Marks: none

Maternity Clothes?: Yes!

Sleep: I finally ordered and recieved a pregnancy pillow. This is a true lifesaver! I have slept so well since I have started sleeping with it! Love it!

Movement: Yes! Still mainly from the inside but as it gets stronger and less fluttery I am getting exctied to start feeling it more on the outside. I have felt a couple movements from the outside this week but nothing mjor or enough for others to feel yet. Plus I can not wait until Warren can feel it! Should only be a few more weeks:)
*The night of 9/22 I felt the baby on the outside for the first time!!! so exciting*

What I Miss: Not much...I am trying to enjoy pregnancy! However, my butt/hip not hurting...I do miss be able to walk pain free.

Status of the Button: In still but getting more shallow.

What I'm Looking Forward to: Still our ultrasound next Monday!

Best Moment this Week: Being present for little Hawkins Conkling being born and feeling our Little P on the outside that night!

Preggers Bod-New and Exciting!..maybe?: My nipples are huge! Crzy huge! Warren thinks they need thier own zipcode...lol! But it is only the nipple and not the areola.

Hormone Craziness?? (I am adding this because it is necessary:)) Dreams are better but I have been a lot more sensitive lately.

P Milestones: Baby is busy flexing thier arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. Blood vessels are visible through the baby's thin skin, and the ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from the head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around the nerves, a process that will continue for a year after the baby is born. 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, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound


Food Cravings: Still cheese but I have also ben wanting bread.
