18 Weeks

17 Weeks, 5 Days

Due Date: February 27, 2012

Weight Gain: I did weigh myself once last week, I was up about a pound maybe. So, still basically the same.

Symptoms: Unfortunately, still lots. Still really tired most of the time, headachy, and most sadly of all, still feeling pukey. Just puked again yesterday, although I mostly blame the fact that my Dad was cleaning the coffee pot with vinegar and the smell hit me when I was already feeling gross. EW. Barely made it to the bathroom with that one. So still obviously not 100%.

What's different this time: Just again that I'm still feeling crappy. Otherwise it's pretty much the same but that's a big one!

Cravings: I have cereal pretty much every night after Annie goes to bed.

Aversions: Can't really eat much of anything healthy. I CAN, and try to, but I really only can eat a few bites. Normal dinners at home take me a long time to eat a somewhat acceptable amount.

Sleep: Not great.

I am loving: Having our little family all home again, for another week at least, before Ben's NEXT guy's weekend. And then he goes to NYC for work, and then we have a family vacay to Wisconsin, then I go to Orlando for work. Sheesh! At least the time will pass quickly!

I miss: The normal things about not being pregnant. Still glad to be pregnant, obviously, but I will be glad to be on the other side with a baby and NOT being pregnant. This is a lot to say for someone who isn't a big fan of newborns.

I am looking forward to: See above. In the immediate future, our ultrasound in one week - strangely enough, it does seem to have gone kind of quickly, despite feeling like I've been pregnant forever.

I'm spazzing about: Too tired to spaz.

Best thing about this week: Getting cookies and milk delivered to work from Ben (from tank goodness) on Thursday!! Our 6 year anniversary was on Saturday, and he was gone in Montana for a guy's weekend trip, so he had to make up for it :) Worked for me!

Milestones: My belly is definitely popping and is harder. Still managing to sleep on my belly some though!

Movement: Getting more consistent. I feel it at least once a day now, and I'm certain it's the baby. I would love to feel it constantly, but I suppose that's coming soon!

It's a...: whoa, one week til the big reveal! Any guesses? I have none :)

Exercise: No. Will I ever find the energy for prenatal yoga? I just don't know.

Diet: Passable. Nothing great, but I'm eating.

I am so sad that you are still dealing with the crap feelings. It's such misery, especially when you don't get a nice clear end date for feeling like utter crap (besides, uh, the due date, but you will feel better well before then! You have to! I say it's so!)

Really impressed that you are still going out and doing fun things.

I love it!! I'm sorry, too, you're still feeling crappy.

My guess: A girl!

I'm SOOOOO glad you mentioned Tank Goodness! I had those cookies delivered to an internship I had 3 years ago. Afterwards I started looking for who it was because I couldn't remember. Now I've saved the website.

Thanks! :)

You look great - even though you aren't feeling it yet. With Eva I started to feel human at 19-20 weeks... I hope you start to feel better really soon. Can't wait to ind out what you are having!!
