How many weeks pregnant?
18 weeks
Which trimester are you in?
Baby’s size?
Baby is approx 5.5 inches, 5-6oz, size of a sweet potato
Have you started to show yet?
For sure. I am a "show-er". There is no hiding it now. I literally don't fit in any of my pants. I can't even fit in my hospital scrubs that I usually wear to one of my summer jobs. I am trying to embrace it and be on top on finding other options before I start crying...

What are some of your pregnancy symptoms?
Actual headaches that need tylenol to take them away...kind of the hang over feeling I had during 1st trimester but with more engergy and no nausea. HUNGRY! Almost HANGRY at times... Trying to make good choices but if I am craving a cheese burger... Baby gets a cheese burger :). This week's symptoms are more manageable. One new things happened which was quite scary, I almost passed out in the shower, not sure why but it was not pleasant... will be asking my doc about that.

Happy or moody most of the time?
Still moody, but looking forward to our anatomy ultrasound and being half way cooked!!!

Any cravings?
Well there are a lot of things I really like. Most recent craving was a cheese burger and it was SO Good! But I was really really full after! Ha! Still munching on raw veggies and ranch and raw almonds... all healthy and good snacks. Oh I also eat way too much cheese!

Chicken. True aversion. Yuck.

Sleep?
I have a few consecutive days off before my summer break is over and I am sleeping in while I can!

Highlight of the week?
Much needed GIRL TIME! I had one night to hang with all my girls who have kids and been through this once or twice and thoroughly enjoyed feeling normal again. Also hung out with Katie (best friend from HS) and did some wedding planning with her. It's quite crazy how just talking about something other than the baby or pregnancy can relieve a lot of stress. Wedding planning (for someone else's wedding) was very therapeutic!

Are you wearing maternity clothes yet?
Yes and no. Ordered some pants that have yet to arrive. I am crossing my fingers they fit for the next 6 months! I am running low on options.
Have any stretch marks?
Every night after Jameson gives me my injection he uses the "chocolate butter" - my pregnancy nose makes the coco butter literally smell like chocolate! It is a nice gesture that he makes to take care of my growing belly.

Has your belly button popped out?
Still an innie, waiting for the week it pops! Jameson has been taking weekly photos to monitor :)

Feel any kicks?
Nothing yet. But I really do not know what a feeling could be. I feel some pains hear and there. Occasionally I will feel gas, but it is usually gas... I don't even know where the baby could be? Hopefully on the ultrasound next week I will have a better idea on "where" to feel the kicks.

Gender prediction:
None this week. But baby girl clothes are starting to look just as cute as boy clothes!

How has Dad been this week?
Great. My favorite thing that he has started to do, is 1) read his dad book 2) tell me fun facts about the baby or my pregnancy I don't know yet! My favorite so far was the other day when I was hungry and didn't know what to eat, he suggested carrots and ranch and then proceeded to tell me that the baby can now suck and swallow amniotic fluid and that the amniotic fluid changes flavors based on what I eat, so eat more carrots and maybe baby will like carrots! hahahaha!
