18 Weeks

This week's photo is a little preview of our family Christmas card.

At 18 weeks...

Weight gained: Maybe 10 pounds

Baby gender: Unknown, but we find out next week.

Belly button in or out: In but very, very flat.

Food cravings: Pretzels, ice cream and anything spicy still

Food aversions: Fewer things are grossing me out these days. I am eating more meat and I am starting to get my appetite back.

Appointments: My next OB appointment is November 27 and my ultrasound is November 29!

How I am feeling: I am still very sore. I have started sleeping with an army of pillows surrounding me and my hips are killing me. I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions on and of for about a week now and the round ligament pain is intense. I have been getting incredibly sharp shooting pains in my stomach on a regular basis and I am starting to get tired of them. 
Exciting milestones: A flattening belly button 

Things I am looking forward to: I am really excited to find out what we are having!

Things that I miss: I am really missing sushi again and I would love a good glass of wine.

Thoughts: I am so unmotivated to work right now. All I want to do is go home and work on the house and cook. 

Daddy's thoughts: "Sometimes I wonder if you are really in there."

Sydney's thoughts: NA
