How far along? 18 weeks!! 2 weeks away from the halfway point. However, my doctor wants to schedule a c-section for late December, so I have likely already passed *my* halfway point for this pregnancy. Wow!
Due Date: January 6, 2012
Due Date: January 6, 2012
Total weight gain/loss: The scale says I'm up 7 pounds so far, but my weight has been fluctuating a lot lately.
Maternity clothes? Broke out the maternity pants this morning!
Sleep: Sleeping pretty well, but if I wake up in the middle of the night to pee, it takes a while to fall back asleep.
Best moment this week: Yesterday was definitely the highlight of the week. My day began with a massage (only the second one I've had in my life, and it was amazing), and then hubs and I went out for an anniversary lunch at a local place called Harper's. After that, we picked Colin up from his Uncle Tim and Aunt Shannon's house and took him home for a long nap, and then we went to Mema and Papa's house to swim in their pool. Finally, we ended the night by going back to Tim and Shannon's to hang out with them and another couple. Oh, and I got to snuggle a 5 month old baby boy. Pretty much a perfect day!
Movement: Feeling kicks and flutters every day, but there isn't much of a rhyme or reason to them. I seem to feel them best in the evenings when I'm quiet and relaxed.
Food cravings: Will someone please bring me a coconut cream pie?
Food aversions: I used to love some freshly grilled burgers, but lately they don't hit the spot for me. Strangely, fast food burgers are still appealing, though.
Gender: We should know in 15 DAYS!
Labor Signs: Way too early.
Belly Button in or out? In.
What I miss: The ability to drink coffee without getting a little jittery. I may have to eliminate my one cup a day at some point. It's quite sad.
What I am looking forward to: Having my uterus rise up high enough so that this bump gets even bigger and rounder. I'll regret saying this later, but I miss having a big pregnant belly and can't wait to see this bump grow.
Milestones: Baby should be covered in a nice coating of vernix now, which will protect his/her sweet baby skin from the amniotic fluid that surrounds it.
