18 Weeks Pregnant! (Bell Pepper Week)



How far along? 18 Weeks (Friday, September 28, 2012)

The baby is the size of a: Bell Pepper

New baby developments this week: "Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long, and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born" BabyCenter.

Total weight gain: It looks like it's still about 10 pounds so far!

Maternity clothes? Nope, but bigger clothes are more comfortable now :)

Stretch marks? A thin, faint vertical line is still on my belly :)

Sleep: Yep; I just have to switch from one side to the next a bit more frequently lol

Best moment this week: Growing bigger and simply enjoy being pregnant!

Miss Anything? Nope, not really!

Movement/Feelings: Nope, not yet!

Food cravings: Rice and spaghetti/linguine lately :)

Anything making you queasy or sick:</b> Nope!

Symptoms: None!

Gender: I don't know yet...but now I'm thinking it will be a boy :)

Labor Signs: Nope!

Belly Button in or out? An outie! :)

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: Still finding out the sex of the baby sooooon! :)
