18w 4d



TaDa! 18 weeks and 4 days!
I actually remembered to post it on time this time! It's a miracle! It's definitely growing and there's some serious definition from the front (not that you can see that from this picture!). It's so exciting to know that I don't have a belly from extra weight I have a belly because I'm growing a baby in there!!





Finally figured out my head ache dilemma! It turns out it's sinus pressure from my allergies. I started taking Sudafed today and low and behold.... no headache! AND I can breathe through my nose for the fist time in months! It's another miracle! On the plus side, so far this season this is the only allergy symptoms that I have had and usually I am such a dang mess this time of year I hate stepping foot out the door!


I've been having a terrible time with sleeping the past week or so! My hips and pelvic area are so sore and they pop and crack like an old persons joints! I tell ya I think I'm falling apart some mornings because all I hear is "snap" "pop" "crack"! I'm guessing it's just my hips adjusting and getting ready to make room for baby! I am going to invest in one of those pregnancy pillows this week so that I can get some rest at night. Most of the pregnant women that I've talked to say they absolutely LOVE theirs... so I'll give it a whirl! There's a picture of what they look like off to the right, kinda funky looking but if it works, who cares?!

Week 18


Your Baby: Week 18

Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon.







First day of week 18 and oh the fun things it has brought me. I woke up this morning with some soreness in my hips that changed to severe shooting pains down my left butt cheek and toward my knee. It lasted most of the day and has left a lingering stiffness and soreness in my left side! However there are some upsides... my bump feels harder and more pronounced than it has and my energy level is noticeably up!
