How far along? 18 Weeks 3 Days
Total weight gain: Still down 1...creeping up though
Maternity clothes? Yes - way comfy. But my undies like to roll down my belly during the day which is a little annoying.
Stretch marks? Nothing new (I have stretch marks from growing fast as a kid and then also from gaining weight in my 20s)
Sleep: I had been sleeping great. This week, I've been up around 2 for an hour each night. Bleh.
Best moment this week: Feeling Peep kick me HARD in the middle of the night - only happened once, but I loved it!
Movement: I feel Peep almost every other night, most times I have to be still and concentrate.
Food cravings: Still fruit. Loving PB&J on Dave's Killer Bread!
Gender: 12 more days!
Labor signs: negative
Symptoms: Tired, easily annoyed, hunger sneaks up, sore nipples, stuffy nose, sore hips, some swelling occasionally
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: I go between happy and anxious. I'm super excited to find out Peep's gender and the closer I get, the more anxious I get. Also, I'm STILL waiting on an answer from my boss regarding my proposal for maternity leave (and then part time work after leave). I think the not knowing is frustrating me and giving me anxiety.
