Wishful thinking, indeed - a day late with the weekly post again.
How far along? 18 weeks on March 17
How far along? 18 weeks on March 17
Baby is the size of…a SWEET POTATO!
Maternity Clothes: Bella Band + long shirts = one happy mama in the maternity clothes department.
Stretch Marks: Same as last week…nothing new.
Sleep: Sleeping pretty well still. Just the usual tossing and turning to get comfortable.
Best Moment Last Week: Our nightly routine consists of RF taking a bath, getting his pajamas on and then we sit down and watch a few minutes of Sesame Street while he drinks his glass of milk. Then we go upstairs to his room and he and I have our mama-baby boy time together. We sit in his rocking chair and sing or I whisper to him while he drifts off to sleep. He has recently started holding my hand during this time and it makes my heart smile so big. I love, love, love that little boy and am so excited for him to be a big brother!
Movement: LOTS of flutters! :-)
Food cravings: Still having a major craving for Olive Garden salad and breadsticks…will have to try and hold off on that one because I'm pretty sure I would eat a whole basket of breadsticks myself.
Gender: Still no clue, although everyone is starting to weigh in with their thoughts. Hoping that Baby #2 will cooperate Friday for our gender ultrasound!
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button – in or out? In
Wedding Rings – on or off? On
What I Miss: Not being out of breath after simple activities. A few times this week I have had to stop mid-way up our stairs because I was so out of breath. Not sure what that's about, but it is getting really annoying.
What I Am Looking Forward To: Gender ultrasound on Friday! YAY!!!
Milestones: Laying in bed at night and feeling all the movement of Baby #2. I can't feel it from the outside yet, but it is so sweet to know that I get to share these moments with the baby before anyone else. So happy being a mama! :-)
Baby Hawk #2 @ 18 weeks + 1 day…
