Week 18

How far along: 18 weeks 1 day

Total weight gain: 8 pounds :(

Maternity clothes: Maternity jeans for sure - can't stand the button poking into me anymore. I can still wear all my tops and dresses and most of my skirts.

Sleep: Really enjoying it.

Best moment this week: Seeing my sweet baby!!!!!! Having the ultrasound and seeing her for the first time was incredible. She really likes to be curled up in the corner. The US tech kept having to poke her and had me roll on my side to get gravity to help move her.

Movement: starting to feel some little flutters. She moves the most after dinner.

Cravings: back to the sweet tooth - sopapillas, cheesecake, turtlebars...

Feelings: happy! grateful for this miracle growing inside of me and that Chris and I have been blessed with this sweet little one.

Size of baby to fruit comparison: mango, 6" long and about 8 oz.
