18 Weeks

What's up with Baby this week? Our little man is the size of a bell pepper, around 5 1/2 inches long and weights almost 7 ounces. He is busy flexing his little arms and legs, movements i'll start noticing more and more. Our babies blood vessels are visible through thin shin. His ears are in their final position.

Symptoms? Some cramping this week. My legs have been going numb when i stand for to long. I am also feeling some pressure down below. My doctor said it was normal is 2nd pregnancy.   

Gender? Little Man

Excited For? Doctor appointment next Monday! Also my 20 week ultrasound. 

Maternity Clothes? I got a few yoga pants that i thought i would be able to wear all pregnancy but they are getting a little tighter on me. My shirts and under shirts are also getting pretty tight. I think im going to have to go and get a few shirts along with a few new bras. 

Sleep? Sleep has been pretty good, I cant seem to get comfy laying on my side so i have been laying on my back. I just read that i shouldn't be laying on my back at this point. So it looks like i have to lay on my side from now on

Movement? He moves more at night time. Some night i can feel him really good but other night i dont feel him at all. I know i should be feeling him more in the next few weeks. Last week i swear i felt him kick my hand. Its by far the best feeling in the world.

Belly Button Status? Still in but i know its going to be flush with the belly soon!!

Missing Anything? Not losing my breath going up and down the stairs. 

Milestones? Feeling little man move a little more. 

Cravings? Just about everything. I really have been wanting soft pretzels. But i cant ever seem to get them!  

Weight Gain? My scale said i have finally gained 1 pound! Yahoo. So now i have only lost 11 pounds! I will know more on Monday!
