18 WEEKS!

Well as most of y'all know, IT'S A BOY! Russell and I couldn't be more excited! It was so adorable, Russ was so smiley and happy all day. He secretly wanted a little baby boy. I secretly just wanted to hear the baby's heart beat. I can't really describe it to you, but hearing the little heart beats is just the most incredible feeling. It's also pretty relaxing since I still can't feel any movement yet (they say that's normal and it may take up to 24 weeks).

It took them forever to find out what we were having. The first ultrasound tech made me move all around and tried for what seemed like forever. He just didn't want to cooperate with us! He is for sure my child ;) Anyways, they brought in the senior tech and she found his little parts almost immediately. She wasn't really subtle either, she was just like, "Well, it's a boy. There's his penis." Haha, okay then! IT'S A BOY.

How Far: 18 weeks! Almost half way there.

Baby is the Size of: A bell pepper (gross)

Maternity Clothes: So my mission is to not buy any maternity clothes at all. Now that may sound crazy to some of you, but I'm sure you've never seen my closet. The amount of clothes I have is astronomical. I'm sure I can find stuff that works. When I get so big that my pants don't fit, I'll buy a belly band. Maternity pants freak me out.

Sleep: SO MUCH BETTER. I can sleep through the entire night now :D

Movement: Whenever I had my last check-up and the doc was listening to the heartbeat she was like, "DID YOU FEEL THAT?!" He was moving all around and she felt him, but I guess because this is my first pregnancy I don't really know what anything feels like..

Best/Worst Moment of the Week: Best--sleep. Worst--I had to use a hair tie to hold my pants up.

Miss Anything:  I have the urge to ride a roller coaster right now.

Food Cravings: Junk. Give me all the junk food.

Anything make you Queasy: The smell of our neighbors cooking. What the hell is she making? It smells like feet.

Weight Gain: Not sure. When I went back I lost one more pound, but I can tell I'm gaining a little now. 

Stretch Marks: Haven't seen one yet.

Happy or Moody: I'm a lot happier now days!

Symptoms: Heartburn. So bad that it almost makes me vomit. I've never had heartburn a day in my life so when I first noticed something was wrong I thought I was having a heart attack. It feels like my esophagus is on fire. I took about 10 different antacids and the only thing that works is Prilosec. Yep, the stuff Larry the Cable Guy takes.

Looking Forward to: Feeling him move around!
