18 weeks, 4 days

How far along? 18 weeks, 4 days

Total weight gain? not sure; last weighed at doc's 3 week's ago...had gained 1/2 pound. It's way more than that now...I'm guessing 5 at least!

Maternity clothes? YES...broke down and bought one pair of jeans at Target. I couldn't handle the old  zipper down/button open/rubber band trick any longer. I had even tried a band thing but it just wasn't comfy and my open zipper often stuck out of the bottom. Of course, I spend 90% of my time in sweats, pj's or scrubs!

Sleep? Very rarely sleep hard. Wake up a lot, pee a lot, have weird dreams some nights. 

15 Weeks

Best moment this week? Last week, I felt her move for the first time...now she is a little rock star in there! Last night I was lying in bed and felt the weirdest feeling, like she flipped over or something. When I looked down, there was a huge hump high up and to the right of my belly button. So crazy!!

16 Weeks 

Miss anything? Not having to pee so much, not feeling chunky, sleeping soundly. 

Movement? Oh yes! The most amazing thing ever!

17 Weeks 

Food cravings? I have had a few moments in which I HAD TO HAVE the following: been burrito from Taco Bell, Dairy Queen Blizzard, Mexican rice and beans with cheese sauce. Otherwise, some days I eat like a pig and somedays are kind of normal. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Um, not really. Hallelujah, the nausea was completely gone by week 15!!

Symptoms? Getting bigger, feeling her move, boobs growing a bit. 

Have you started to show yet? Yes, but not to those who don't know me well. Feels like I've gained weight in my thighs, butt and belly/back. Yippee.

Labor signs? No way.

Belly button in or out? In...but sometimes it looks stretched and kind of red. Weird. 

Wedding ring on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy, excited, terrified, shocked, dumb-founded and, yes, irritable sometimes.

Name possibilities? Olivia Day, Holland Olivia, Olivia who-knows-what, Livi, Liv, Livi-Liv, Oli

Looking forward to? 20 week ultra sound and belly "popping" out so it's obvious!
