18 weeks!


I had to add this picture of Max above, he was preparing for the picture and I can not stop laughing!

How far along: 18 weeks, according to What to Expect When You are Expecting, I am in my 5th month!
Size of baby: Sweet Potato, 5.6 inches
Weight gain/loss: +10 pounds, 128
Maternity clothes: A little of both :) Maternity clothes are much more comfortable though
Gender: ??? This baby will be a surprise! Strong STRONG feeling it is a boy...
Movement: Yep! This little one is a mover. I am pretty sure this baby does flips and turns and kicks and punches every hour. They even wake me up or if I wake up to pee baby sees it as an opportunity to keep mommy awake ;)
Sleep: UGH! It is not great. I am still sick...maybe it is allergies, who knows! In between not being able to breath and coughing, sleep rarely happens.
Exercise: Still running, walking on an incline, kick boxing, minimal weight training, and prenatal pilates.
What I miss: a flat tummy ;) but this baby is so worth the bump I am sporting!
Cravings: Salad, like I could eat it for breakfast and strawberries...hey at least they are healthy cravings!
Aversions: pasta with red sauce
Symptoms: HUNGRY. ALL. THE. TIME. I do not remember being this hungry with Max. I guess with Max I was not as busy as I am now. I am constantly on the go, with work and grad school and running a family I rarely catch a break. With Max I was pregnant during my summer break and had time to rest. Maybe I am more hungry because I am constantly moving...
Best moment this week: Philip feeling our little one move!

Bare Belly Pic:
 I swear by the end of the day this bump doubles in size ;)
