Well, I turned 18 weeks today and am finally all caught up on these updates. I hope I’ll be able to update when I turn a new week in a more timely fashion!

18 Weeks

*How far along?: 18 weeks even

*Total weight gain: No idea, still haven’t stepped on a scale {on purpose}, probably 10-12 pounds

*How big is baby?: Sweet Potato (Average size: 5.6 in, 6.7 oz)

*Sleep?: Sleep has been pretty good, I’ve found the key is to not pound water and juice right before bed (totally common sense, I know)

*Best moment this week?: Finding out Jackson is a perfectly healthy picky-eater!

*Movement?: Mostly at night when sitting down on the couch or after eating Cheez-Its, this baby loves Cheez-Its!

*Food cravings?: Still love my salads, but also Pirate’s Booty!

*Labor signs?: No, thankfully.

*Belly button in or out?: Still in!

*What I miss: Sleeping all night without having to get up for a pee break.

*What I’m looking forward to: Our anatomy ultrasound in a little less than two weeks, woot!

According to TheBump.com, this is what the New Baby is up to this week:
Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby’s finally big enough that you’ll be able to feel those movements soon.

I hope you & yours are having a wonderful week!
