18 WEEKS PEOPLE!

How far along: 18 Weeks WHAT?!?! 

Gender:  2 weeks till we know! 

Symptoms: All of my organs feel like they are squished up under my ribs

Weight gain: I feel like an elephant. A child pointed to my stomach in the middle of storytime and asked "What's that?" 

Maternity clothes: Still in the awkward phase. I'm down to one pair of jeans that I can close with a hair tie and my maternity jeans which make me look like a plumber.

Stretch marks: Unfortunately, I think they are starting to appear.

Belly button in or out: Still in, but getting very shallow.

Sleep: Last night I ended up at the end of the bed straddling two cats.. you tell me.

Best moment this week: Going to the Christmas tree lighting in Downtown OP and eating Chinese food and pie with my parents.

Worst moment this week: When I realized the next day that Ben had eaten my chinese leftovers. *recalls moment of irrational pregnancy rage*

Miss anything: My chinese leftovers

Movement: Oh yes! I've been feeling little kicks or punches and somersaults. I think we have a tiny ninja on our hands.

Cravings: Back to Sprite. Seriously. It is the best beverage in the world I think.

Queasy or sick: Nope. 

Looking forward to: Stuffing my face with all of the carbs at Thanksgiving next week!
