18 Weeks

How far along: 18 Weeks +1 Day
Gender: Will be made known at our appointment this Thursday. (I seriously can't wait)

Weight gain: 7lbs and holding...

Maternity clothes: While in St.George I caved and bought A COUPLE Maternity Shirts, and have to say that I absolutely love them. Aside from them, long tunics and leggings have been my saving grace when trying to get dressed in the mornings.

Stretch marks: No- using an extra lot of Lemon Butter Body Cream at this point to try and prevent any showing up.

Belly button in or out: In

Sleep: Sleep is an uphill battle for me. However, with the other pains and aches I've avoided thus far, I feel fortunate that this has been my biggest challenge thus far. Bring on the Crazy Dreams, Smaller than typical capacity Bladder and Hip Aches.

Best moment this week: Laying in bed Saturday night, Justin felt the baby kick for the first time. It was sweet :)

Miss anything: After having a slight relapse of my Dr. Pepper drinking habit, I have once again cut it off and been 9 days Soda Free. It's awesome and it sucks at the same time. Oh- and being able to eat a meal and not feel like it all went into my lungs instead of my stomach. It's insane how much I can't breathe.
 
Movement: Got my first Solid "Yep, that's kicking" moments last Tuesday, the 11th, amidst eating a bowl of Grapes (which were so good, I ended up eating all 4 cups of them) and have had several kicking moments a day since then.
 
Cravings: Rice Crispy Treats and Apple Crisp. Although We have been trying to eat healthier, and took advantage of being near a Costco in St.George, so we stocked up on Fresh Fruit and have been chowing it down with much happiness.

Queasy or sick: Had a couple dizzy spells lately and some growing pains in my ab muscles. I think the dizzy has to do with me forgetting to eat and letting my sugar get too low (woops) Gonna have to pay more attention to that now I guess.
 
Looking forward to: T-3 Days until we get to see our little Love again and hopefully See the Gender. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time.
Hope you have all have such a great week!!!
