18 weeks

 

I'm 18 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:

Due Date: October 18, 2013

How Far Along: 18 Weeks

Size of baby: Baby O is the size of a bell pepper or sweet potato!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 5 lbs???

Maternity Clothes: I’ve officially made my way into maternity pants. I mostly wear normal shirts, but one day I wore a fitted maternity shirt and EVERYONE commented how I was showing and carrying low!

Gender: GIRL!

 Anniston Joy O'Neal

Movement: None yet! It should be soon! I can’t wait!

Sleep: When I sleep well, I usually dream. My specialist said not to stress about sleeping on my side. He said I would begin to feel nauseated if sleeping on my back was causing the baby any distress.

What I miss: Caffeine, Boiled Crawfish, & Good Medicine when sick!

Cravings: Anything SALTY!!! Salt & Vinegar chips, Dill Pickle Chips, and actual Dill flavored things are my favorite right now!

Symptoms: Since my headaches have gotten better, I feel GREAT! I’m going to savor this second trimester of feeling good!

Emotions: Joy! I loved seeing my baby girl again on the ultrasound screen! She was moving her little jaws and bending her knees. Such a precious sight to see!

 Looking forward to: School is almost out! We leave Friday for our “Babymoon” trip to the beach! Can’t wait to relax and spend time with the hubs. After we get back, it is time to get things moving on the nursery! :)
