18 WEEKS

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 18 Weeks

Size of Baby: Baby C is the size of a bell pepper

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 8 lbs. Doc is

very proud of me, but I have a feeling

I am about to pack on the pounds!

Maternity Clothes: At this point, it is all

I wear! Having a hard time finding

cute dresses for my showers though.

Gender: Will be telling after January 23rd!

The doctor confirmed the

gender on Tuesday, so it is official!

Movement: Maybe a little. Every once in

a while I will feel something kind of

like an air bubble.

Sleep: Let me just be honest...this has been the worst

week of sleep! I guess the Lord is just preparing

me for the months ahead once Baby Cole arrives.

What I Miss: Sleep!!! I also am missing my

ability to retain information. I am having a

really hard time reading books!

Cravings: Still the salty things, but I also

have been eating a bowl of cereal every

night before I go to bed.

Symptoms: Morning Sickness...I think it may

almost be gone. Leg pain...this has been pretty bad.

I wish it was just cramps, but unfortunately

it is consistent pain.

Best Moment of the Week: Baby Cole is very

healthy! Everything checked out just great

at the ultrasound. What an answer to prayer!
