Pregnancy Update: Week 18



How far along: 18 weeks

Total weight gain: 7 lbs (started around 115, currently at 122) - I lost .5 pounds this week. I've been upping my protein intake to over 70 grams a day, so less carbs = less weight gain, I guess? 

Sleep: I've been having crazy dreams (mostly about my husband messing up and me being mad at him. lol) and still wake up several times a night, but it's going ok.

Maternity Clothes: I ordered some stuff that should be here tomorrow. I can't handle these too-tight jeans any longer!

Food cravings: Grapefuit juice, sandwiches, granny smith apples.

Food aversions: Sweets still don't agree with me and I'm starting to hate sour stuff again.

Symptoms: Headaches, I get irritated easily, my back has been hurting on and off.

Movement: I've felt a few little things here and there, but nothing much this week.

Gender: Not sure. Hopefully we'll find out this week!

What I’m looking forward to: We get to schedule our gender ultrasound either this week or next week, so I'm hoping baby will cooperate and we'll find out what we're having!!

What I miss: Being comfortable in my clothes. Hopefully getting new maternity clothes will help a lot :) 

Best moment this week: We had our 17-week checkup and things are going great. Baby's heart rate was 156 and everything else looked just fine.
