18 week update

How Far Along:  18 weeks

Weight Gain/Loss:  -8lbs.

Sleep:  I didn't even do a chalk board last week because I was so tired! Kinley has been sick so she's been staying in bed with me.. she pee'd the bed a few times, woke up for sips of water TONS and kicked me lots! So I haven't had the best sleeps in a while. She's finally feeling better, I can't wait to sleep tonight!

Best Moment This Week:   Feeling more movement. It's the best ever.

Movement: Little pops here and there. The baby is always the most active when I lay down in bed at night. Party Animal!!

Food Cravings/Aversions: I've been having pineapple for the past 2 weeks. My boss told me you aren't suppose to when you're pregnant. I googled it and eating pineapple is perfectly safe. What is of concern is the core. The core of a pineapple does contain high levels of Bromelain which can cause thinning and contractions if you eat a ton of it. You would have to eat quite a few cores to have this happen.

What I Miss: Baileys in my hot chocolate. COFFEE. This week I had a few cups, even though I usually avoid caffeine completely.

Stretch Marks:  Old ones are starting to show.

Belly Button:  In.

Rings:  Loose.

Mood: Happy but extremely sensitive! Lots of crying lately.

Labor Signs: some minor cramping, and lower back pains. I got kidney stones apparently... but haven't confirmed this.

Upcoming Appointments/Events: Ultrasound next month! Right after Christmas.

What I look forward to: My belly to start growing :)

Weekly Wisdom:  Get as many back rubs and naps in as you can.
