18 weeks, 2 days

Happy Holidays everyone!  I skipped week 17 because of the hustle and bustle of the holidays and here I am a tad late for 18 weeks.  Almost half way there!

How far along?  18 weeks

Size of Baby: TheBump says the baby is the size of a sweet potato! 5.6 inches long and about 6.7 ounces now.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Haven't checked since the last appointment.

Maternity Clothes:
Yep, still loving them.

Gender:
January 9th is the big ultrasound!!  Can you believe in just a week and a half I will know whether there are girls, boys, or both growing?!
 
Belly Button In/Out: In still but it definitely feels different.

Stretch Marks: Nope.
Labor Signs: Nope.

Movement: Maybe? I have felt a few itty bitty flutters low in my belly.  I think it is the baby (babies?) but not sure yet.

Sleep: Depends on the night.  Some are good, some not so much. Last night was a good night's sleep!  The Snuggle pillow definitely helps.

Cravings/Aversions: Still not really craving anything but still can't eat chicken and a lot of my normal favorites don't taste good.

Symptoms: Still sick and belly is growing!  I actually think I am starting to feel a little better (knock on wood!)

Feeling: Over the moon excited that i am almost halfway done being pregnant!

Best Moment this Week: Finding out I passed my 1 hour glucose test!

What I Miss: A normal appetite, a good night's sleep

What I am Looking Forward To:  January 9th!  First appointment with the specialist and gender reveal.

Milestones: Well in to the 2nd trimester

Baby Milestones: Babies are now yawning, hiccuping, and swallowing! I really can't wait to get to feel them more often.

Next Appointment: January 9th, anatomy scan!
