Week 18

How far along: 18 Weeks

Food Comparison: Sweet Potato

Gender: Boy!!  We are so excited for our little man and even more so after working a bow booth at the Women's Fair this past week. I just really noticed how girls are so dramatic, bossy, snotty, and diva-licious! 

Weight gain: +8 lbs . . . yikes. I don't know if this is on schedule of if I need to slow down.

Maternity clothes: A dress, a few shirts, and I'm living in leggings!

Stretch marks: No - still slathering up with my belly butter!

Belly button in or out: In with belly button ring. 

Sleep: Ehh . . . good sleep is hard to come by.  

Best moment last week: Really starting to feel his little bumps throughout the day. 

Worst moment last week: He starts to ball up (or something) and is sitting on or hitting some organ down low which is kind of painful and makes me super uncomfortable. I have to give him and little nudge and move him out of the way. I thinking there isn't much room in there yet.

Miss anything: My pants being able to button.   

Movement: Yes, not much but some. 

Cravings: Beef ramen noodles and caesar salads. 

Queasy or sick: Nope! 

Looking forward to: My prenatal massage on Wednesday, painting the 'nursery' this weekend, and putting together his dresser/changing table that came in today!  

Prayer Request: This week I just pray for the overall health of Baby K. With the anatomy scan a few weeks away -- I pray all of his organs are functioning properly, I pray that he has 10 fingers and 10 toes, I pray that he has eyes that can see and ears that can hear. I pray that he is perfectly healthy so that his challenges in life aren't physical ones.
