18 Weeks

How far along? 18 weeks

Total weight gain: Up a pound total.

Maternity clothes? Yes and they are so comfy. 

Stretch marks? None yet.

Sleep: Pretty good I guess, I just wish Sperry would stop barking during the night. 

Best moment this week: Two day work week!

Miss Anything? Not drinking alcohol has made me feel left out sometimes.  Bryan was sweet this week and made me a yummy "mocktail" and even put it in a martini glass.

Movement: I've still been feeling a few movements here and there. I've felt one strong one which I guess was a kick, but nothing outside yet.

Food cravings: Those oysters we got were amazing!  I think I could eat them everyday.

Food aversions: I've been good lately.

Gender: Girl...or boy!

Labor Signs: Nope. 

Symptoms: My lower back was bothering me on Friday and then we had a 30 minute wait at the restaurant and no one would let the pregnant lady sit down...how rude!  Well after leaning on a wall for what felt like forever they finally called us and I suddenly couldn't move.  I had a shooting pain running from my back down my butt and into my leg.  It hurt so bad and I somehow made it to our table, but not very gracefully because people around me where snickering to themselves.  That pain continued for a few days and has finally let up.  I think if we have another wait at a restaurant I need to pull the pregnancy card and politely ask someone to scoot over so I can sit down. 

Belly Button in or out? In but it won't be for too long.

Wedding rings on or off? On. 

Looking forward to? Shopping on black Friday.  I hope to find some cute gender neutral clothes because people keep telling me that my baby will be naked since we aren't finding out what we are having.  A naked baby is not acceptable!  Any suggestions on where to find gender neutral baby clothes?
