Baby Wotring is 18 weeks today!
My handy iphone app informed me this morning that Baby Wotring is about 5 1/2 inches long and weighs almost 7 ounces (about the size of a bell pepper). He or she is busy flexing arms and legs (baby workout y'all) and within the next few weeks I should start feeling those little movements. A few times I've thought I've felt something but it's hard to tell when it's so subtle. I think if I give it a few more weeks it will be unmistakable!
18 week bump
I gained 1/2 lb this week bringing my total weight gain to 5.5 lbs. I'm surprised it wasn't more this week because once I got my appetite back from being sick I couldn't stop eating! I've had some random cravings lately. In addition to any and all types of gummy/chewy candy (Twizzlers, Mike & Ike's, Skittles -- you name it!) I've been craving bagels and cream cheese. I mostly eat Paleo but I've given in to some of these cravings the last few weeks because I can't seem to get wheat bagels with pumpkin cream cheese out of my head!!!
Baby Wotring is a pumpkin fan
So how am I feeling? Pretty good! I'm not quite 100% but I'm definitely feeling MUCH better than I was last week. I have a few days of antibiotics left but they've really helped kick that sinus infection to the curb and hopefully I can keep me and Baby Wotring healthy over the next 22 weeks! Otherwise I can't complain. Not really experiencing any aches or pains yet, no heartburn and no headaches since I've been feeling better -- hopefully it continues! **KNOCK ON WOOD**
This weekend I've planned a date night for Ray and me but we also plan to go check out cribs at some point. We've hit a roadblock. I'm a fan of the more modern looking cribs (see last week's post) and Ray likes the more traditional ones with high backs. I'm pretty confident we'll be able to work out our differences on this though. We've disagreed about far bigger things!
