ow far along: 18 weeks and 4 days
Maternity clothes: Still mixing regular clothes and maternity clothes. I unpacked some winter clothes today and found a few old pair of pants that I could still zip. I was pretty pumped about that. I am in that weird stage where maternity clothes do not look just right and regular are getting a little tight. Again the leggings and dress look is my best friend.
Stretch marks: Nope. Fingers crossed!
Sleep: I am sleeping a little bit better. I have figured out my pillow arrangement which makes sleeping easier. C has been teething so he has been waking at odd hours, poor guy. He slept over at grandma's this weekend so we could get some sleep. I was able to sleep in on Sunday until 9:00. It. Was. Heavenly. I had so much energy all day that I was able to get winter clothes unpacked, the house straightened, and had some great family time with J and C. Sleep is not overrated!
Best moment last week: We found out that we are having a GIRL! We were both shocked and a little nervous when the tech told that we are having a daughter. Whoa! It looks crazy when I type it out. We are all boy in this house, so the pink thing will be an adjustment. Lucky for us we have time. After our appointment we went and got C a pink balloon. He loved his balloon, but I know that he is too little to truly understand that our family is growing. We got to share the news with our family which was fun. Everyone is very excited for a little girl to join our family.
Another great moment this week happened when C started giving kisses goodnight. That sweet boy has been giving kisses and hugs during the day that melt my heart for a while now. But the other night I laid him in his crib and he stood up and grabbed me for a hug. Then he planted a big ole kiss on his mama. And he did it the night after that and the night after that. Let's just say I was a big ball of mush and it is now the BEST part of my day.
One more great moment: Jeremy and I had a nice date night on Saturday. We went to Fish Bites (one of our favorites) and had fun just being adults. We then came back to the house and had cocktails and mocktails while watching football and just hanging out. It was good to just spend time with my hubby. However we did spend an amount of time looking a C pics, talking about our baby girl and growing little boy, and throwing around girl names, I'm grateful to have nights like that with my best friend.
Movement: Yes, the girl has moves! She is a dancer for sure. During her ultrasound she was always in motion. It was hard to get some pictures with our tiny dancing shaking it all about.
Food cravings: Still loving my red berry cereal. I also had a craving for lemon bars and spaghetti. And cold sandwiches have sounded good as well. I'm not having as bad heart burn in week's past so I've been enjoying mealtime this week, thankfully.
Gender: GIRL
I'm struggling with the idea of a lot of pink, but excited to go to the "other" side of the baby clothing store. Plus I am excited to work on a girly nursery!
Labor signs: Zilch, thank goodness.
Belly button - in or out? Out almost immediately. Bleh.
What I miss: Running. I was able to run on the treadmill this week for about 5 minutes. It felt great, but I wished I could have done more without that baby bouncing on my bladder. Walking on the treadmill is boring, but running passes the time better.
What I am looking forward to: Christmas vacation, decorating the tree, family visits!
Milestones: Starting to get organized around the house to prep for this baby!
