18 weeks

How far along? 18 weeks (well technically 19 weeks, but I post about the past week) 

 

Maternity clothes? Getting much closer, for sure. I am throwing in jeans every now and then.

 

Sleep: I know I will pay for this later, but I am getting some of the best sleep of my life right now.

Best moment this week: Feeling Baby Brown move like crazy.

 

Miss Anything? Not at all. Well maybe coffee on a few of these sleeping mornings.

Movement: Oh yes, I even felt a kick or flip from the outside on Wednesday 1-30 and a several today. Scotty still hasn't felt it because Baby likes to play opossum.

Food cravings: Nothing in particular yet.

Anything making you queasy or sick: I've gotten over that for the most part, even starting to eat chicken again.

Gender:  

6 days until we know if we are planning on Mr. C or Miss H

Labor Signs: 

 none for a while I hope

Belly Button in or out? 

In and stretching

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood:

 feeling really blessed right now.

Looking forward to:  

20 week appointment in less than one week!
Finally knowing. I feel like it will be so much more real then. 

Gender reveal video to share with friends and family.

Your Baby:

• Is about the size of a baked potato — five-and-a-half inches long.
• Has actual cute little ears and working ear bones and can hear sounds through the amniotic fluid — similar to how things sound to you underwater.
• Is moving, moving, moving. The baby is still small enough that you may not feel every kick and punch yet, but the movements will start getting less “bubble-like” and more “holy crap, that was totally a foot” pretty soon, if they aren’t already.
