This was a very busy week so, not much detail.  I actually realized at the beginning of 18 weeks I hadn’t sat down and done these so this is from memory! 🙂

How far along?  17 Weeks
Size of Baby:  Onion
Total weight gain/loss: Not sure exactly.. every time I think I have hit pre pregnancy weight,  I go to the Dr. and I am still down
Maternity clothes?  Needing them more and more, plus they are so comfy!
Sleep:  It’s a challenge.  I keep waking up on my back with a headache.
Best moment this week:  Hanging with my family and shopping with mom!
Miss Anything? Really good sleep
Movement: Still not sure.. waiting to see if it happens again
Food cravings: Nope
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Eating too late
Have you started to show yet: Yes, definitely showing
Gender prediction:  not this week
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms:  Headaches, lack of sleep, and constantly peeing.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!  It has been a very busy week but I have been feeling good!
Looking forward to:  I know it has been a constant thing, but I am still really wanting to feel the baby move and kick!

How far along?  15 Weeks
Size of Baby:  Navel Orange or Apple
Total weight gain/loss: either none or maybe lost 1lb.
Maternity clothes?  Part time
Sleep:  It is a little better this week.  I have been on two pillows because of allergies/congestion and one under my knees.  For the most part I am still on my back and sleeping through the night.
Best moment this week:  Seeing my bump!  I feel that I have started to show more this week and depending on what I wear I actually look pregnant not just chubby!
Have you told family and friends:  Yes, everyone knows!
Miss Anything?  Not really this week.
Movement: Nope, I am waiting for any sign of a flutter!
Food cravings: Deli sandwiches!  I have been heating the meat to make it safer but they are so good.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  I am still having off and on nausea/sickness but I haven’t found a common ingredient causing it.  It comes mainly at night so I think I am just eating late but if I don’t, I wake up starving so it’s lose/lose.
Have you started to show yet: I do feel that I have more of an actual bump this week.  It is also firmer making it not chub but a bump!  It still depends on what I wear whether it looks bumpy or chubby.
Gender prediction:  No major feelings one way or the other this week
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms:  Morning sickness, cramps, sore lower back, congestion, and stretching muscles.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy for the most part.  I have had a few bouts of moodiness that comes from no where but only once or twice this week.
Looking forward to:  Feeling kicks!! I am still very impatiently waiting.  It is still early but I can’t wait to feel flutters!

How far along?  14 Weeks
Size of Baby:  Lemon
Total weight gain/loss: I think I’m back to my pre-pregnancy weight this week
Maternity clothes?  Some off and on, but not necessary yet
Sleep:  It has not been good at all!  I can’t get comfortable and toss and turn.  Even once I do fall asleep I almost always wake up between 3-5am sometime and can’t go back to sleep, it is no fun!
Best moment this week:  There were quite a few this week… finally being fully public with our news, have a date night with my amazing man, and enjoying this beautiful weather!
Have you told family and friends:  Finally Facebook official!
Miss Anything?  Sleep!  I also miss allergy medicine!  This is something that is more my choice but it’s part of me trying to be med-free throughout pregnancy.  These GA allergies might kill me though and we just started the season!
Movement: None, waiting very impatiently for them to start
Food cravings: None really… I guess Easter candy as that is already gone
Anything making you queasy or sick:  I’m not sure if it is anything specific but I did have a relapse in morning sickness this weekend.  So now I don’t want to even look at popcorn (which is a bummer since that has been a craving from the beginning) and pizza (which hasn’t really set well the whole pregnancy).  I also am starting to dislike water, I’m having to just get over that one though.
Have you started to show yet: Well, I will let you decide by my picture… I think so but I still think it is just my organs being pushed out of the way not baby.  Either way it is still caused by pregnancy so I will take it!
Gender prediction:  No major feelings one way or the other this week
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms:  Headaches, morning sickness, cramping, shortness of breath and insomia.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!  Wes hasn’t been as busy with freelance this week so we have had more time together as a family.
Looking forward to:  Feeling kicks!! I want to be kicked so bad and I think this is the only time in life I know I will love being kicked!
