How far along?: 18 weeks, 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: +1.5 this week, +11 total. Considering I'm 2 weeks shy of the halfway point, I'm pretty jazzed about this.
Maternity clothes?: I have a love/hate relationship with maternity pants. While they are very comfortable, I'm struggling to find some I like this time.
Sleep: Pretty decent, even with the 1-2 trips to the bathroom each night. But when I don't get enough, I pay for it. Saturday night was especially rough - up late b/c I just wasn't tired, then Brooke got sick a few minutes after I got in bed and I spent the next hour or 2 washing sheets/bunnies and trying to get her to sleep. 2:30 am is just not a good bedtime for me, especially with 45 lbs of toddler tossing & turning next to me all night. Yesterday was a pretty terrible day because of it. I may or may not have been in my pj's for 36 hours straight.
Movement: A fair amount of little flutters in there. Nothing strong enough to be felt on the outside yet, but very close.
Food cravings: Not really.
Gender: All 4 of us predict girl. Brooke's favorite girl name is "First name Ariel, middle name Snow White, last name Reeder." Joe's choices this week are Leap, Lily, & Rocket.
New w/pregnancy #3: This pregnancy is going faster than either of the others. I mean, just flying. Well, actually, it's been the 2nd trimester that's been flying. The 1st trimester, which was full of nausea & extreme exhaustion, seemed to drag. But these past 5 weeks have been super fast.
What I miss: Summer. I'm just so cold all day long.
What I am looking forward to: Next week. The husband is off the entire week, so we'll have lots of bonding time with the kiddos (& I will have lots of help!) And Brooke's excitement for Thanksgiving is starting to rub off on me.
Best moment this week: Joe lifted up my shirt and gave "da baby a kiss." Which basically meant he slobbered all over my belly, but it was still precious :)
Milestones: We're just a mere 6 weeks away from viability, which is just INSANE, you guys.
