18 weeks

How far along: 18 weeks (2/23/13)
Baby size: Baby K. is over 5 ounces and about 8 inches long.
Total weight gain: 13 pounds
Maternity clothes: I'm starting to need longer shirts, but I'm still able to wear regular shirts most of the time.  You can see in the picture that the shirt I'm wearing is almost too short and I bought it to wear as maternity!
Stretch marks: None, but I have been putting coconut oil on a few times a week!
Sleep: Sometimes I sleep well, other times I don't.  I did take a (doctor approved) sleeping pill this week when I was still awake after 11pm! 
Best moment this week: 2 baby showers and celebrating with my friends!
Miss anything? Motivation to work out.  I honestly miss running/walking and spinning, but I simply can't get myself out of bed to go to the gym (or even the basement) to work out in the morning.
Movement:  I've felt a few "bubbles" this week, starting on Wednesday.  I think it's the baby, not gas, but I'm going to have to keep waiting to find out for sure.
Food cravings: Nothing really this week.
Have you started to show yet? Yes, I definitely have a bump. My boss told me the other day that I finally look pregnant :) 
Gender: Not sure yet...Mike's hoping for a boy...I'm hoping for a girl. But we'll both be thrilled either way!  We should find out in a couple weeks!
Labor signs: no
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? on.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Our doctor's appointment on Tuesday.

16 Weeks


How far along: 16 weeks (2/9/13)
Baby size: Baby K. is about the size of an avocado!
Total weight gain: About 9 pounds.  (I forgot to weigh myself this week)
Maternity clothes: I wore a real maternity shirt for the first time this week.  My other shirts are starting to fit awkwardly, so I figured I better bite the bullet.
Stretch marks: None, but I have the coconut oil ready!
Sleep: Getting about 10 hours a night, but having a hard time staying asleep and finding a comfortable position--I'm paranoid about laying on my back.
Best moment this week: Having someone ask "are you pregnant?" (and being able to say yes!)
Miss anything? Still missing my energy....
Movement: None yet.
Food cravings: Nothing really this week. 
Have you started to show yet? Yes, I definitely have a bump. 
Gender: Not sure yet...Mike's hoping for a boy...I'm hoping for a girl. But we'll both be thrilled either way!
Labor signs: no
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? on.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!  But I had a couple hormonal boughts of crying this week.  (Funny story: I saw Champ laying on his back in his cage, feet up in the air and eyes wide open.  I thought he was dead--it scared me so bad I started crying!)
Looking forward to: Getting started on the nursery!

Total weight gain: About 9 pounds (10 according to the doctor).

Best moment this week: Hearing our baby's heartbeat for the first time on Tuesday!
Miss anything? Still missing my energy....
Movement: None yet.
Food cravings: Nothing really this week.  Just things that don't sound good--like yogurt.

Gender: Not sure yet...
Labor signs: no
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? on.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy! I don't think I've really had mood swings.
