How far along?: 18 weeks, 0 days
Total weight gain/loss: +1.5 this week, +2.5 overall.
Maternity clothes?: Yes, although these maternity capris I'm wearing today are GOBS too big.
Sleep: Ugh. I'm not getting up a million times a night to pee anymore and I'm not waking up for hours at a time in the middle of the night like in the 1st trimester, but I am so damn uncomfortable that I'd almost go back to that. Twice now I've been woken up by hip pain.
Movement: YES! Every day :) Teeny tiny little thumps on my lower abdomen.
Food cravings: The thought of food makes me sick today....
Gender: Leaning towards boy, but I don't claim to have "mother's intuition" or anything.
What I miss: Being able to get through an entire workday without being ready to cry by 3:00. (Wait. Has that ever happened?)
What I am looking forward to: CHOCOLATE! Sooo looking forward to this mini-vacation with my hubby :)
Best moment this week: Being interrupted while trying to concentrate on things by a certain little one bumping into mama's stomach.... :)
Weekly Wisdom: Apparently peeing right before an hour-long meeting doesn't mean you can expect to be able to make it through the whole thing without it filling back up. Which reminds me: gently pushing on certain areas of my stomach directly affects bladder pressure.
Milestones: Exactly 5 months from my due date tomorrow!
Get a question mark pillow (as Jason calls it) like I have! Otherwise known as a maternity pillow. You can use it to nurse and for baby later also. It seriously fixed my hip pain issues. Takes some getting used to but I don't have joint pain anymore (at least for now)...
