18 Weeks

How far along? 18 Weeks
How big is baby? The size of a large sweet potato
Total weight gain/loss: Still only about 4 pounds
Maternity clothes? I am starting to build up a maternity wardrobe 
Sleep: I have a hard time finding a comfortable position
Best moment this week: Scheduling our ultrasound
Movement: I can randomly feel little movements from baby
Food cravings:  No cravings this week
Food Aversions: Banana nut muffins, my coworker ate one and I use right back to like week 3 trying not to vomit from the smell
Gender: Still a surprise
Labor Signs:  Too early
Pregnancy Symptoms:  My big belly, congestion that will apparently last the entire pregnancy, hip pain
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss:  Not being a petting zoo, I'm not sure why people think its okay to touch and rub my belly without permission
What I am looking forward to:  Our first appointment  with the midwife
Upcoming appointments/events:  End of February
Milestones: Feeling baby movements, people noticing that my belly is a baby and not flab from pizza and beer
Kevin was in New York all week for work so it was just me and the dogs at home. We did not sleep well. When Kevin isn't home Silas does not sleep he stay awake and barks and growls at every sound he hears so that we don't get murdered. Kevin got back really late Friday night/ early Saturday morning once he got home he realized he still had the keys to the work truck so he had to leave to take the keys back and the dogs cried and paced the house until he came back. I hung out with my friend Taylor yesterday and we talked babies, birth, oils, and life. I have really enjoyed hearing how my friends coped with pain and family opposition to their natural births so that I can learn from their experiences.
