18 Weeks!
How far along: 18 weeks and 1 day! J
Sex: BOY!! It’s so nice to know now J
Maternity clothes: Still wearing the belly band with my jeans and I can pretty much wear all my old shirts with the exception of a few. I can’t wait until the heat comes and I can wear dresses everyday.
Sleep: I’ve been having some very strange dreams. Had one last night that my house was haunted and that my entire family came over ( like 50 people) unexpectedly and I was sad because the house was dirty…ha! And I woke up at 3:30am wide awake and ready to go today!
Best moment(s) of the week: Couples massage with Bran was really nice on V-dayJ One of my students is in foster care and got to see his mom for the first time in 6 months! That was exciting too J It was nice to see him so happy. We also have a few new boy clothes for the baby!
Movement: yup! Been feeling him since 15 1/2 weeks. I usually feel him from around 5pm-10pm. He’s very hyper!

Food cravings/aversions: I’ve eaten Cajun chicken pasta every Friday night for the last 2 months! The people at Fridays know my order now(a little embarrassing!) I also have been eating a lot of mint chocolate chip ice cream and jimmy johns of course!
Morning sickness: Puked Tuesday for some odd reason!? I found out I shouldn’t drink lots of water on an empty stomach because the baby is not a fan of that.
Symptoms: I’m having a lot of shoulder and back pain. I slipped a disk 5 years ago and I feel the same nerve pain coming on…kinda nervous about that :/
Labor signs: Nope…I’d love for that to happen at 37 weeks though J
Belly button in or out: I can see the insides of it…but that’s it.
What I miss: wine, family, feeling comfortable in my old clothes

What I'm looking forward to: Bran’s grandparents are coming out in 3 weeks J
18 weeks belly! 15 week belly
Do you see a difference? I think he grew a tiny bit!
Size and growth of our baby: Baby is now the size of a BELL PEPPER!
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
You look so cute! So excited for you guys! :)
