18 weeks

So I'm 2 days late, but here you go.  18 week update!

How far along?: 18w 4days

How big is baby?: The size of a sweet potato! Baby is about 5.6 inches long and about 6.7 ounces now and keeps on growing rapidly. 

Weight gain/loss?: +8.  That's all I have to say about that.

Stretch marks?:  still none.

Maternity clothes?: Pulled out the maternity pants and some shirts.  The pants are still too big, but my other ones are way too small.  I'm in that in between stage, I guess. 

Sleep?:  It's on and off these days.  My OB okayed Tylenol PM and I took one last night and it made a huge difference.  I'm kind of scared to see what 2 would feel like! 

Food cravings?: Nothing in particular.  It's pretty frustrating. 

Gender?: eeeeeeek!  We will know in exactly 16 hours from now.  The anatomy scan yesterday morning went great and baby is looking healthy on all counts. My guess for the record is another girl.  The envelope has been sitting (sealed) in the glove compartment of our Jeep. 

Movement?: Little movements here and there, but nothing consistent.  I have an anterior placenta again so I can expect less movement than others. 

Belly button?: same as last week. I'm starting to see more of the inside.  Hope that doesn't gross you out, but hey, it's a change, so I'm reporting it.

Symptoms?:  Just hungry and peeing a lot.

What are you looking forward to this week?:  I cannot think of anything else except for tomorrow morning.  I am so freaking excited!!!  Outfits are planned and the only clue I'm giving you as to how we are going to reveal is that we are headed to a Christmas tree farm with ornaments.
