Cravings: mayonaise and tomato sandwiches i just cant get enough! they're absolutely delicious and i eat at least one a day! 

Emotions: in the past few weeks it hit me she's coming soon and dan wont be here. my main goal right now is keeping a positive attitude- i feel to blessed to be pregnant in the first place. while its not ideal d wont be here she's still our miracle and i am thankful for her every day

18 weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 18 weeks

Total Weight Gain: back to no weight gain

Maternity Clothes: living in my two for fitness tanks & lululemon speed shorts

Movement: slight movement that i'm just getting used to! its very strange but i can sometimes feel where she is inside (usually when she's way to the left or way to the right) it feels like light pressure. i'm still waiting for one big kick though

Sleep: doing alright, usually in bed by 8:30 or i get lethargic

Symptoms: besides having to use the restroom ALL the time none

Cravings: there was one night last week when d and i were sitting at home and i looked at him and told him i needed lays potato chips immediately. we had chips and dip for dinner :)

Emotions: besides a breakdown yesterday (crying about moving furniture...embarrassing now!) i've been doing pretty good

Best Moment of the Week: had a great checkup last week, baby girls HB was a solid 150

i asked the dr about the no weight gain (since i've somehow lost the 2 i gained) and he didn't seem concerned. just told me to listen to my body and if it continues it'll be come an issue, but right now not so much

we bought the first item for the nursery this weekend on the north shore. i had seen it a few weeks ago when i went shopping with kristin and couldn't stop thinking about it so i knew we had to go back and get it:

17 weeks!

oops. looks like i missed 16 weeks? i'll get better i promise. to be honest not too much has changed.

also, you'd think i'd be smart and use our new canon rebel to take belly pictures. will try to remember that for next week! for now a fuzzy iphone shot...

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 17 weeks

Total Weight Gain: up 2 pounds

Maternity Clothes: i did buy some AMAZING maternity tanks i'll be reviewing this week but other than that no

Movement: WE HAVE MOVEMENT! i thought i felt him/her a few times this weekend but then yesterday i definitely felt movement. especially after i drank a glass of cold water, felt like someone was lightly dancing inside my belly! on my runs yesterday and today it was really odd- i could feel exactly where she was the entire time, kind of felt like a light pressure (no pain) but when i came home i used the doppler and sure enough she was on the left side like i had thought. what a wonderful feeling

Sleep: eh alright, still waking up a few times to use the restroom, and i definitely don't sleep like a log as i previously did

Symptoms: nothing really

Cravings: i have been STARVING the past few days. i think it might be my weight gain trying to catch up with me. i'm embarrassed/proud to admit i ate almost an entire medium pizza last night. all to myself.

Emotions: still thrilled. so happy my emotional roller coaster is on pause for now because for a few weeks i was absolutely crazy hormonal

Best Moment of the Week: feeling the baby move!
