18 Weeks | Size of a Bell Pepper



How far along? 18 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I don't like this question.  Next, please.
Maternity clothes? Still working my pre-preggy clothes.  I do rock the belly band though! (Miracle worker, that thing!)
Stretch marks? No.  *fingers crossed*
Sleep: Not so shabby.  I'm coming into the RLS days.  But so is my hubs, so perhaps its my age, rather?!
Best moment this week: Watching my husband experience the Bebe moving for the very first time.  I cried.  Yep.
Miss Anything?  Not really.
Movement:  YES!  It is the most beautiful feeling!!  Bebe moves tons in the morning and then at bedtime <-- Hoping this isn't confusion!
Food cravings:  Nothing, really.  Food has been an interesting thing lately.  Don't want it but sure do need it.  Besides, no one takes pleasure in a hangry (hungry to the point of angry) pregnant chick!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Smells.  They are only intensifying.  Blehk.
Gender: Still dang sure that we're having a girl.  Judging by impromptu polls, so are our friends and family members!
Labor Signs:  No.
Symptoms: Early to bed, early to rise.  Oh, and headaches.
Belly Button in or out?  In.
Wedding rings on or off?  On. 
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Tuesday, November 6th.  We get the incredible opportunity to learn more about Bebe's health and...... well...... whether he's a she he, she's a he she, she's a she he..... Boy or Girl!

15 Weeks | Size of an Apple

I had the pleasure of attending a costume Bridal Shower for one of my favorite friends this week!  My husband is Aleut so dressing as an Eskimo was kind of fun - and he thought it was 'sexy'. Ha! =)

How far along? 15 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I can honestly say that I have no clue.  I'll know on Tuesday after my appt.
Maternity clothes? Not yet.  I did snag some steals this past week though!
Stretch marks? No.  (I dread ever having to answer 'yes' here.)
Sleep: Like a puppy.  I would nap every few hours if I could.  Isn't this supposed to cease in the 2nd?!
Best moment this week: Having quite a few people notice that it's a bump, rather than a spare tire!
Miss Anything?  Just sushi - still.  I miss hiking in the mountains, too.  Have to stay in low altitude. :(
Movement:  Still waiting for the flutters to start!!
Food cravings:  I've been craving soda a lot.  I am not much of a soda drinker, so this has been odd, but I only have sips here and there of Aaron's.  Nothing else has really been a 'must have' craving.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Lack of sleep and not eating quickly enough!  I'm getting much better at getting to food once I realize I'm hungry - definitely a good rule of thumb when pregnant: Always have a snack on hand!
Gender: The hubs and I are totally thinking a girl lately!  Isn't it crazy how quickly that flips?!  Who knows... only 5 more weeks till we find out!!
Labor Signs:  Too early.
Symptoms: Growing waist line and slightly moody.  Only slightly. ;-) (I don't like staying up too late!)
Belly Button in or out?  In.
Wedding rings on or off?  On. 
Happy or Moody most of the time: Hap-hap-happiness! 
Looking forward to: Next doctor's appointment on Tuesday!  It's hard in the beginning months to 'feel good' about the bebe growing and developing properly when you don't have much of a bump and can't feel any movements; doctor's appointments are a sigh of relief!  I'm very excited to start feeling the movements!
