18 week update!

***NOTE: I can't figure out why this darn blog won't let me make paragraphs!!! If anyone knows what's wrong with my settings, please tell me! Otherwise I'll have to let Matt play around with it in HTML form*****


How far along? 18 weeks!!!

Total weight gain/loss: Gained 6lbs

Maternity clothes? I "popped" so now almost nothing fits! My bump is definitely visible - pics to come!

Sleep: I wish - I am soooooo tired!!!

Best moment this week: Ever since Matt learned that Abigail can hear he has talked with her every night before bed. He puts his face right on my belly and tell her to "grow, grow, grow!" Then he always says something sweet to her. **SIGH** It's the sweetest part of my day. I love my little family.


Movement: Feeling different in the lower abdomen, but not real kicks yet. I'm pretty sure it's Abby, but I will hold off on saying for certain.

Food cravings: Anything blueberry, Olive Garden salads...

Gender: The specialist confirmed on Monday that she is ALL GIRL!! We will start registering in a few weeks :)

Labor Signs: None

Belly Button in or out? In...of course...

What I miss: being able to breathe through my nose. So STUFFY!

What I am looking forward to: My next regular OB visit on June 5th. Matt will get to come to the ultrasound!!!

Yay for being 18 weeks! I let out an audible "Aww" when I read what Matt does each night. How Sweet!

We are trying to figure out another time to visit (since our next planned GA trip is Christmas...), and I am SO excited to see you!

More pictures, please!!!

Mine sometimes won't let me do paragraphs. If you click on the "Edit HTML" tab you can just hit Enter and then go back to the Compose tab. But i think the main thing is that any changes (font color, size, style, etc) should be made AFTER you type your whole entry. If you make the changes beforehand it won't let you do paragraphs for some reason. Just highlight the whole entry and make the changes after you've typed everything in the pre-set font.
