18 Weeks
How far along? 18 weeks
Total weight gain: no idea! scales are the devil
Maternity clothes? I've been rocking a few H&M maternity t's, maternity leggings & jeans, & got some Bella Bands! It's all just more comfy that my regular clothes, especially for work
Stretch marks? Not yet! Buying some Vitamin E or Cocoa Butter to just make me feel like I'm doing something to prevent them!
Best moment this week: Got a bunch of awesome stuff on sale last weekend for the baby! Oh and lil one has been moving like crazy all week!
Miss Anything? Coffee & wine mostly
Movement? Definitely! He or she likes to do karate chops already & the other day I almost thought I felt some steady kicking outside of my belly but who really knows!
Food cravings: Grapes, BBQ sauce & bagels with strawberry cream cheese
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope!
Starting to show yet? Absolutely!
Gender: Still don't know! We have 12 days until my appointment! Let's hope lil one decides to cooperate so we can tell!!
Labor Signs: NO! And I hope I don't have any for a long time!
Symptoms: Sleeping has become more difficult but that's mostly it! Got most of my energy back! No more mid-day naps!
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Mostly happy! I only get moody when I am really tired so I nap & I'm better!
Looking forward to: My next ultrasound & finding out if we're having a lil boy or a lil girl!
We got a bunch of stuff this last week for the baby! We couldn't help it - the BX had crazy Labor Day sales & lots of baby stuff was around 50% off! We bought an awesome carseat & a super cool video baby monitor! We also ordered our crib! The selection here for American style stuff is very slim so we had to order it from online & have it sent to the store here for us to pick up! But its super cute & I can't wait for it to come so we can put it together! Not to mention I got the package from my mom with my Bella Bands in it & adorable onesies from my sister!!
Our new car seat!
Sweet video monitors
Onesies from my awesome lil sister!
I scheduled my appointment for my next ultrasound & couldn't be more excited! Only downfall is Greg will be in the field, which, I know, is only 45 minutes or so away. Hopefully he will be able to break away for a few hours to meet me for the appointment! I'd hate for him to miss the second of only 2 ultrasounds I get! I will probably reschedule if he can't be there, but that means waiting longer to find out the sex! Decisions, decisions! ha
It started to cool down the other day & I got pretty excited! I cannot wait for fall & everything that comes with it - leaves changing color, cool weather, fall wardrobe, holidays & delicious food consisting of tons of pumpkin everywhere! Just wish we had Starbucks here so I could get a Pumpkin Spice Latte! Let's pray for this country's sake that the cafe on base has pumpkin flavoring or I WILL go crazy!!
But for now, I will just cuddle up on the couch with my blanket, husband & puppies & watch a movie! I love days off & getting to spend plenty of time with my little family!
