Baby #2 - 18 Weeks

• How far along: 18 weeks
• Size of baby: measures 5.5 inches — about the size of a bell pepper — and weighs 7 ounces
• Total Weight Gain: 4 pounds
• Maternity Clothes: No but getting closer!
• Gender: 2 weeks until we find out.
• Sleep: Tossing and turning a little during the night.
• Cravings: Grape juice
• Anything making you queasy or sick?  Meat and powder scented stuff (lotion, deodorant).  Lots of things leave a bad after taste in my mouth.
• Best moment this week: Meeting my new niece, Payten.  So excited to have a little snuggle bug of our own!
• What I miss most: Fitting comfortably into my clothes.
• Symptoms: Vomiting and nausea - this has been mild though compared to the beginning.
• What I'm looking forward to: Decorating the nursery and buying clothes.  Meeting Payten and seeing her fully stocked room and closet made me anxious to get baby's room ready.
• Movement: Flutters are becoming more frequent.
