17 & 18 Weeks

17 Weeks



How far along? 17 Weeks
Maternity clothes? I mostly wear my maternity black slacks to work and a loose fitting shirt.  Weekends consist of yoga pants or maternity jeans. Stretch marks? Just the ones on my boob so far. Sleep: Sleeping great, minus waking up to pee once or twice a night.Best moment this week? Finding out the SEX!  We had a doctor's appointment on 9/9 and the doc was nice enough to pop us into the ultrasound room, just to confirm the gender.  It took MAYBE 1 minute to get a good view of the goods, and there is no doubt that we are having a baby GIRL!!!!!  I put a picture below to show the V (legs) and that there is definitely nothing in between.Miss anything? Being able to walk a lot without my feet hurting.Movement? Nothing this week...haven't had that feeling like I did the week before :( Food Cravings? Cravings and aversions have calmed down quite a bit.  Nothing too crazy - just a lot of milk/cereal/OJ.Anything making you queasy or sick? Not. a. thing.Have you started to show yet? Definite bump but still probably just look abnormal to strangers.  Gender prediction? It's a girl!! no predicting about it :) Labor signs? NoBelly button in or out? InWedding rings on or off? OnHappy or moody most of the time? Happy, except when I'm hungry.  Then it's just pure HANGRY.Looking forward to? Figuring out the nursery & deciding on what to register for & what to buy, etc. Also deciding on a name! 

Baby girl not acting a bit shy. Definitely no man parts there!

18 Weeks


How far along? 18 weeks
Maternity clothes? Duh.  My friend Ashley brought me a ton of her maternity clothes to wear and I'm so thankful for it!  So many shirts and now I feel like I don't have to wear the same things everyday to work.Stretch marks? Nothing more here.Sleep: Sleeping great, minus waking up to pee once or twice a night.Best moment this week? Feeling baby girl move around like crazy in my belly!  All of tonight I have felt a tickling/spastic/bubbly feeling in my belly.  It's so amazing and makes me feel like I'm actually having a baby and not just growing an alien. :) Miss anything? I went to New Orleans for a long weekend for a friend's bachelorette and that is a drinking TOWN.  At night, I missed drinking and acting stupid with good friends.  The next morning, I was so happy I felt just fine and my biggest issues were the pains in my feet. :) Movement? Yes! Seems like she looooooves tickling my belly today.Food Cravings? Nothing crazy except just lots of milk.  Anything making you queasy or sick? Not. a. thing.Have you started to show yet? Definite little bump. 
Labor signs? NoBelly button in or out? InWedding rings on or off? On, but I will need to find a dummy set soon.  I could barely get them off after New Orleans (I'm sure the flight, walking, eating, had a lot to do with my fingers swelling)Happy or moody most of the time? Happy!  Looking forward to? Finalizing the name choice.  Ryan and I have a favorite, but I want to think about it for a little while longer before deciding for sure.  Ryan is ready to call it official, but I just don't want to see another name come up later and think, "dammit, we should of gone with that"
