18.4 Weeks

{why do I feel bigger than this picture is showing!}

How far along? 18.4 weeks {yes i'm a little behind, don't judge me} 

Baby J is as big as: a mango {6in, .5lbs}

Total weight gain: Up 4 pounds {thanksgiving, ugh} 

Maternity clothes? I ordered a pair of Old Navy skinny {maternity} jeans. I still fit in my jeans but these were pretty comfy. I don't like how the band starts so low- I feel like it hangs out. 

Stretch marks? Nope.  

Sleep: GREAT this week! Not evening waking up to pee!

Best moment this week: By far spending Thanksgiving with our families. We had 3 full days of family and friends, it definitely makes our hearts happy and full. 

Miss Anything? My mom makes sangria for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I missed not being able to have a glass. Makes it harder when everyone says "this stuff is so good." 

Movement: Oh jee, I don't know! I feel things, but IDK if it's gas, hunger pains, or the baby. :) 

Food cravings: Zero, zip, none. I have been having more of an urge to eat the left over halloween candy {more so recently} but wouldn't call it a craving. I'm sticking strong on my no year of sweets!  

Anything making you queasy or sick: Oh I blew my nose the other day and it almost made me throw up. Really? Oh brother. 

Gender: 6 days, 11 hours, 11 min and some seconds- but whose counting?!

Labor Signs: sure hope not!

Symptoms: um, does peeing the bed count as a symptom, because I may have done that a little bit last week. Totally blaming the baby on that one. Can you say embarrassed?! I think it's funny though, so I share it with others. Again, don't judge me! :) 

Belly Button in or out? Still in! 

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy but also in my "cry about everything stage". I cried twice last week. 1. I couldn't figure out how I decorated my mantle for Christmas last year, so I cried. 2. I attempted Paula Dean Mac N Cheese and it was GROSS. I cried again.   I have been told this will pass- here's to hoping- my poor husband thinks I've lost it! 

Looking forward to: Two things. 1. To hear "your baby is healthy" and 2. To see if it has a P or V {oh come on, laugh} 

Daddy Moment: We were playing catch phrase with some friends and my word was "childbirth classes" and I started by  saying "Jon and I will be taking these sometime soon for the future" and after someone guessed Jon said "I had no idea what you were talking about, what classes are these?"   Reality is hitting ;)  

We also are celebrating daddy's 27th Birthday this week the on 29th! Next birthday- he'll have a little one wishing him happy birthday! :)
