How far along? 18w6d
Size of baby? He is the size of a Sweet Potato
Total weight gain/loss: Sorry, still don't know. When we go to our Doctor's appointment I will figure out how off my scale is at home. I am sure the second and third trimester I am going to want to keep track of the weight I put on :)
Maternity clothes? Yes, definitely maternity bottoms. I have noticed some shirts I try to wear look funny stretched over my bump, so I will need to venture out soon and buy some tops, but not the baggy tent ones...I like people to know I am pregnant, not look like I am huge and fat :)
Pregnancy symptoms this week? Leg cramps (yep they're back), itchy skin, back aches, and some round ligament pains.

Stretch marks? No stretch marks for this momma.
Sleep: Sleep has been horrible this week to say the least. I can't sleep because my hips hurt, so I toss and turn all night. It's a good thing I can take a nap during the day if I need to (which I have needed to).
Best moment this week: Having my belly grow BIGGER. I absolutely love having a belly :) and also ordering all of baby boy' nursery bedding.
Have you told family and friends: Yes we have. Surprisingly though there is still extended family finding out. We had a family event last Sunday and we were surprised to see there were still people that didn't know.
Miss Anything? This week...sleeping on my back or stomach. I would take either right now. My hips are killing me!
Movement:Nope! This is an emotional subject...I haven't officially broke down in tears yet over this, but every time I think about it I feel like I want to cry. All I have to say is it's a good thing that I have a fetal heart monitor because than I at least know my baby boy has a heartbeat and is definitely in there. I personally think he is making me wait because his momma needs to learn patience!
Food cravings: I have been bad this week...pretty much ate a bowl of ice cream everyday. don't worry though, there was only two scoops in the bowl. That's what I call eating in moderation!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still just if I don't eat something as soon as I am hungry. When I start to feel sick, I know it's time to get more food! It's a nice system I've got going on :)
Have you started to show yet: yes, some people still don't think I am pregnant, but I can sure tell.
Gender prediction: Boy!
Labor Signs: No, but honestly I wouldn't know what these are anyway. It makes me so nervous that I really want to look into labor classes soon.
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and Moody this week. With having the summer off work, I have been a little bored some days. There is only so many times you can clean the house. I find myself getting moody if I have been cooped up all day. Many people have said to enjoy this because it will never be this way again. But I do look forward to next summer, I will have a babe to take places with me, like swimming, the zoo, the park, etc.
Looking forward to:Our doctor's appointment tomorrow! And leaving town for a little family vacation.
Not loving: Hip pain, but it's all for a good cause :)
