Week 18

Since I didn't have my chalkboard this past week, this week's bump pic is a little different. Being at the beach, A thought it would be perfect to take the pic there. As you can see, I couldn't choose just one pic and with so many great photographers in the family, there were too many good ones to choose from so here are two!

^^My pick

 ^^A's pick

How far along? 18 Weeks, 6 Days
Total weight gain/loss: Probably up about 3.5 kg, but haven't weighed myself this week
Maternity clothes? Same mix as 16 weeks, throwing in some maternity jeans as well for comfort
Stretch marks? None. I've been using Palmer's Cocoa Butter and also Kiehl's Soy Milk and Honey Whipped Body Butter 1-2 times a day.
Sleep: Mainly sleeping through the night
Best moment this week: Feeling stronger flutters, not quite kicks especially when driving on bumpy roads.
Miss Anything? Eating eggs over easy and ham
Movement: Not strong kicks, but definitely feeling something
Food cravings: Chocolate covered pretzels
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not baby related, but I got sick during the fishing trip we took
Have you started to show yet? Mmmhmm
Gender prediction: Only a couple more weeks until the next ultrasound so trying to convince A still!
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy
Looking forward to: Feeling some stronger kicks!

And for an extra little something, check out this "making of" video sis-in-law made!
My favorite part is seeing A in the background "scurrying" with a handful of rocks to write 18 weeks.
