How far along? 18 weeks, and the size of a bell pepper (about 5 1/2 inches long head to tush).
Best moment this week: Feeling the first little 'flutters'-- they're subtle, but noticeable!
Miss anything yet? Missing a lot of things, but it's still all worth it for sure.
Movement: Just super subtle ones-- but it's definitely a change! (Actually feeling a little flutter as I type this...)
Food cravings: I don't know if this counts, but I can hardly finish something savory without drooling over something I can eat sweet afterwards. So perhaps more of a food habit than a craving?
Anything sounding disgusting? Nope! I'm good with life at the moment.
How's the belly? Getting larger and rounder-- officially sits in my lap when I sit down. Crazy feeling, for sure. (Also, it's been amusing me that whenever I cough or laugh my whole belly lifts-- it's pretty odd-looking.)
Gender prediction: Officially baffled, and also officially held fast in neutral ground on my opinion about it.
Sleep? Dreaming about getting attached by bad guys from Lord of the Rings, but other than that it's been good.
Belly button situation? Outie, and quite soft.
Clothing situation? Bought my first (two!) pairs of maternity pants online. Loving the fact that they make tall jeans with stretchy things-- here's hoping they fit!
I'm generally feeling: Quite chipper.
Looking forward to: My doc appointment tomorrow, so I can hear that little heartbeat again-- then the BIG one two weeks from now! (Boy or girl... the suspense is killing me!!)
Hey sister! What kind of bad guys from Lord of the Rings? Orcs? Perhaps you need a picture of Ian McKellen over your bed. He is both Gandalf and Magneto so he should be able to protect you. http://www.alfabetajuega.com/thumbnails/imagenes/201301/30280.gandalf_magneto.not.jpg
