18 Weeks

Stats:

How far along: 18 weeks

How big is baby?: Sweet Potato- finally a size comparison that I am familiar with!

Total weight gain: I gained about a pound this week which brings me to 9 pounds total 

Maternity clothes: My shirts are fine, I alternate between maternity pants and yoga pants.  

Best moment of the week: That first flutter! I felt it Thursday night and it was crazy, weird and wonderful all at once.

Food cravings: No cravings this week that I noticed.

Food aversions:  None! 

Symptoms: Some round ligament pain, my hip has been a little sore but it's not any worse. I'm having a lot of trouble sleeping, mostly because I can't get comfortable so I move around a lot. 

Movement: Felt that first little flutter 2 days ago! Haven't felt it again since, but my extensive google-ing says that it's normal to go a few days or even a week between feeling it at this point. Little baby still has plenty of room to bounce around in there without me even noticing.  

Gender: Get to find out March 1st, can't wait (until then you should vote on my poll over there on the right)

What I'm looking forward to: Our March 1st anatomy/gender scan and feeling the baby again.

What I miss: Still missing sleeping on my back, I can get kind of comfortable, but it's just not the same. 

Next appointment: March 1st!!!!!!
