Week 18

How far along?   18 weeks

Total weight gain:  5 lbs  (I've reached my college weight! Yikes!)

Have you started to show?  Yes - I walked into a room this week and the first thing out of a patient's mouth (that I don't even know) was "congratulations!"  So ... yes, I think it's safe to say I'm showing.  But how BOLD! ;)

Am feeling:  Really good -- still able to run, so I'm thankful for that!

Best moment this week: I had SO many amazing moments this week, it's impossible to pick one! 
1.  Our ultrasound.  The last time we saw our baby, it was the size of a blueberry and looked like a little bean.  Seeing it flip around inside me was amazing - and tears streaming down my cheeks the entire ultrasound! 
2. Our Gender Reveal Party.  We found out the sex of our baby surrounded by those we love the most (minus a few!).  It was so exciting!!  Next post will reveal.
3.  Feeling the baby kick.  This baby is very active in there!

Miss anything? Drinking -- I just wanted some champagne or wine to celebrate the baby reveal!

Food cravings:  Everything that I shouldn't -- chocolate, taffy, candy, .....  what happened to the strawberry craving?!?

Maternity clothes:  Started to wear a few tops mixed with my own.  If the tops are long enough, I am still wearing my normal pants, just unzipped a bit or the hair band through the button

Sleep:  It's getting harder and harder to quickly switch positions - but still sleeping well

Gender:  Thought girl all along until our ultrasound.  After the ultrasound I kept referring to the baby and pictures as "he" or "his".  I switched to boy, but for our party still predicted girl (wishful thinking!)

Looking forward to:  Feeling baby kick from the outside so Matt can feel it too!
