According to TheBump my child is now about 5.6 inches long and about 6.7 ounces or the size of a sweet potato!
Things that have come to light in the 18th week of my pregnancy:
- Buying a Bella Band is a must. I recently purchased one and felt human again when I was able to wear my jeans. Don’t get me wrong, I love leggings but let’s be honest-sometimes they make our butts look bigger.
- The holidays are the best time to be pregnant! You can eat cookies with no guilt and everyone seems to make sure the pregnant person eats first and has dessert to take home. This may be the first year that my New Year’s Resolution does not include dieting, #WINNING!
- I have finally learned to pace myself in the Pregnancy Bible, What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Yes, reading the chapter for the month that actually pertains to you is not as overwhelming as reading multiple chapters ahead.
- Registering for your baby is a lot more fun than the wedding registry-everything is so tiny and cute! Mom and I spent 3 hours in one store and could have easily stayed longer but they were closing. Well, to clarify I could have stayed longer, Mom had already found a rocker recliner to sit in. #TrueStory
- Weird dreams do happen, don’t over analyze them. For instance, the other night I dreamed we found out the gender during the sono and when I saw it was a boy, I started crying my eyes out. Up to interpretation if I cried because I found out the gender or because I thought I was having a boy.
- And then there was heartburn, backaches, and a whole lot of excitement. Just buy some Tums, turn on the heating pad and enjoy this exciting time!
Cheers, T

I will be 17 weeks on Wednesday, so I am right behind you! I’ll have to look at the Bella Band though, since it is so highly recommended 🙂 We find out the gender in two weeks, so after that, it’s straight to the baby registries!!! cannot wait, as everything I look at is just too cute.

Congratulations! We decided not to find out, so picked everything neutral for the nursery. Have fun doing the registry, everything is adorable!

I understand that one too. I want at least a good idea what to get. If it’s a girl, I really don’t want to go with the pink-theme though.. as well, for a boy, not really going with the blue. I already decided I really like green, for either — jungle and monkey-themed actually. I think that will end up going well for either gender 🙂
