Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon.
How far along? 18 weeks
Total Weight Gain: I finally gained 5lbs! Usually not exciting but I've been seeing myself get fatter and fatter and not have a number of weight to show for it. So 5lbs total.
Maternity Clothes? I just got some hand me downs and I still need another pair of pants or 2. I am still only switching between 2 pairs and it's not working anymore.
Stretch Marks? None new
Sleep? ::Knock on Wood:: It's been good for the last few weeks. I sleep good. I am not tired during the day anymore. I am really comfortable all the time. It's just been really really good in the department.
Best Moment This Week: Asking the Godparents to baptize out baby.
Movement: I am still only feeling little things here and there. Nothing major.
Food Cravings: Hot wings. Anything hot actually. As much chili or salsa on my food as possible.
Gender: Still holding out for a boy... but i've finally had a feeling in one direction... and I am thinking girl. We'll see Monday!
Labor Signs: None yet... Way too early
Belly Button - In... and Arielle is fascinated with sticking her finger in it.
What I miss: Nothing right now... I am very content.
What I am looking forward to: My ultrasound on Monday!
Weekly Wisdom: Don't try to convince your cousin that you're not having twins when she's convinced herself that you are. It's a battle you won't win no matter how many times you lay the facts out on the table proving it's only one. Soon everyone else will start convincing themselves that you're having twins too and you're stuck trying to make them believe it's only ONE!
Milestones: We're settle into our apartment and I am still alive and feeling great!
