18 Weeks!

I seriously can't believe that it is already 18 weeks!! Two more weeks and I will be about half way through this pregnancy! That deserves a HOO-RAH!  Although being pregnant is definitely not a walk in the park, I know that the surprise at the end will be completely worth it :)
Before I get started with this little Bumpdate though, I have to share some exciting news!  We had my doctors appointment about 2 days before I was 18 weeks. The appointment was completely normal...until the very end when my doctor surprised me with a little ultrasound!
We were able to find out what we are having!  So here are some little pictures---see if you can guess!

 

 

 

baby young bump date!    how far along: 18 weeks

baby is the size of a...

Dragon Fruit?

 Weight: 6.70 oz.

Length: 5.59 in.

gender:

so excited to say that we know, along with some family and friends

maternity clothes?

Still going strong without em...but it is getting real hard.

I have worn dresses to work all week, except for Friday which was more of a jammie bottom day...:/

sleep:

Getting up in the middle of then night is getting better...now it is only about once a night. Glad that bladder of mine is holding up :)

Sleeping is getting more difficult though. I find that I am pretty tossy turny in the night, but that could because of the stress of planning for baby! 

I am thinking I will get myself one of those little prego pillows to sleep with soon.

movement:

So happy to say...YES!!

Although the movement is something that only I can feel right now, it really is the most special thing. I feel like it is our little moment together.

Best part of being pregnant!  

best moment of the week:

  Getting to see our sweet baby and watch "it" move around in my belly! Gosh, it is amazing.

worst moment of the week:
I had a few dramatic breakdowns in the past week...one that Craig did not know what to do with me in...but we got through it.

Heavens, the littlest things will make me cry.

I have always been known for being emotional, but things just got 10X worse...

We also had spring break this week (which was seriously a gift from heaven), but I am not looking forward to having an insane schedule again...

miss anything?

I think that I have become Lactose Intolerant because of this little babe, so I have been avoiding plain milk at all cost. It makes me feel pretty sick and is just not worth it. Although, there are many times when I am home that I question that. Sometimes it seems like a big glass of milk would just solve all of my problems. 

 

It doesn't folks.

So here is to many months of Almond Milk.

food cravings:

Loving orange juice. Can't get enough.

Pasta Salads...

Cinnamon Rolls...

Nothing crazy comes to mind...

anything make you queasy?

Eggs. Gosh those things are just disgusting!

I can eat them, but if I get a wiff...we are done for.

Onions are even worse though. Those things are not welcome.

am I showing:

Yes, hopefully people aren't just thinking I have gained lots of weight...but it is defiantly there.

weight gain:

I really am not sure...I am thinking it is somewhere about 4-5 lbs?

belly button: 
In!

But, it is looking different the further along I go...it is starting go more out!

happy or moody?

Emotional and happy...not too moody...

but maybe we should ask Craig what he thinks!

looking forward to:

School being over for the Spring...then onto 2nd block of Summer!

Buying more things for the nursery and baby!

Vacations in the summer...gosh those could come a little faster please!

Quitting my job in August...couldn't be more excited about that right now.

and seeing my sweetie again in 2 weeks for our next little 20 week ultrasound!

 Love this baby too much already :)
