Week 18 Baby Blog
* it’s a Girl! *
How far along am I today? 18 weeks 1 day
What is the favorite thing you ate today? White bean Chicken Chili and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough *I WAS MAKING COOKIES, NOT JUST EATING A ROLL OF DOUGH!
How’s the food stuff coming along? Cravings? Aversions? I really have been wanting a chocolate chip cookie. Therefore, today I made chocolate chip cookies. No new aversions.
Any new symptoms this past week? I have been gagging all the time. I mean it is RIDICULOUS! If I smell something bad, if I think of something gross, if I talk on the phone too long! SERIOUSLY! It is so annoying!
What about the exercise routine? Walking and working out with my trainer once a week. Yesterday’s training session was HARD!
Sleep…is it good/bad/mediocre? Pretty good.
How big is the baby, any major milestones for baby? Baby is about the size of a sweet potato. Around 5 ½ inches and 6.5 ounces. Head circumference measured at 13 centimeters at our sonogram! She moves a lot!
How about the baby’s activity? She moves so much, but I am not feeling anything yet. I have an anterior placenta so my midwife said it may be a bit before I feel movement.
Did anything special (besides the baby growing!) happen this week? We had our sonogram and found out that we are having a girl! We are SOOOO excited. She is healthy and beautiful! After our sonogram I went shopping with my mom and got some super cute stuff for our little gal. We also bought a new crib- ours was pretty much a death trap, so we took advantage of Babies R Us’s trade in event and got a great deal on a nice crib.
Laurisa I love those shoes! Where ever did you find them? And congratulations on having a girl- baby girl stuff is way too adorable, as you probably already know! :)
