BL- 18 weeks

How far along? 18 Weeks 
Baby is the size of a... Large pickle

Total weight gain: 2 Kilos

Maternity clothes? Yep, I need em.  Since we are still in Cairo, an old student of mine is bringing me a big order from gap and old navy.  I can't wait!  Thanks C Brewer!

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep?: Sleeping is getting better, but I wouldn't say I am sleeping great.  Lots of pillows usually helps.  

Best moment this week: Finishing grad school at 7 am Monday morning.  What a marvelous feeling.  


Miss Anything? I miss the cool spring weather we were so blessed with.  It is H.O.T. now

Movement: Nothing big enough that I can say "he just did a back flip!"  Some times I think I feel him but it is usually after I eat dinner, and it might just be my full belly.  

Food cravings: Lots of fruit (grapefruit, oranges...I may have eaten 4 today) milk and cereal, chinese/thai food.  

Anything making you queasy or sick: Meat.  I am liking being a vegetarian.  However, Ben made Mexican lasagna that I found on pinterest.  He added shredded chicken and I liked it!

Gender: Sweet Baby Boy

Labor Signs: Nope

Symptoms: I can feel my stomach rising into my chest. Ya, it doesn't feel nice.  

Belly Button in or out?  It is still hanging on....barely.  Be strong, little guy!

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy as a peanut!

Looking forward to: My maternity clothes coming, finishing work and finding out where BL is going to call home.
