What a fun evening watching Mizzou win the Big 12 Championship! I am still sad the Tigers are leaving the Big 12, but nobody in charge asked me my opinion. So at least we are leaving to the SEC as champs!
In baby news, we purchased a crib last night! Next month we will start painting baby's room, get new carpet, and put up the crib! I will post pics then. For now, here is my 18 week update!
How far along: 18 weeks, 1 day
How big is baby: He/She is about the size of a pear: 5 1/2 inches long and weighing 6 ounces.
Weight Gain: I have gained around 10 pounds. But haven't had a weight check recently. We will see on Tuesday!
Maternity clothes: Some maternity and some regular clothing if it is bigger
Stretch marks?: not yet
Belly Button in or out?: in
Wedding ring on or off?: on
Sleep: Still sleeping okay. Only waking up once maybe twice a night
Best moment of the week: Feeling Bean move!!
Food cravings: blueberry bagels & cream cheese; peaches & cottage cheese
Food aversions: nothing has really made me sick in the last couple weeks. yeah!
Symptoms: I will still get sick if I let myself get too hungry. Still having round ligament pain when coughing/sneezing or moving suddenly
Baby Movement: yes! Just felt it a few days ago. (though I still have an irrational fear that it was my imagination)
Gender: we find out in a few days!!!! "girl" is still winning on the blog poll
What I’m looking forward to: when Rick can feel the baby move, hearing the heartbeat again; finding out the gender and baby shopping!
What I miss: really wanted a Blue Moon tonight during the basketball game
Next appt: Tuesday, March 13th
What is baby doing this week?: Bones are starting to harden, reflexes are more fully developed. Baby hiccups and yawns. Blood vessels are visible through the skin. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his/her nerves. Baby now has a unique set of fingerprints!
