Pregnancy - Week 18



How big is baby: approx 5.5 inches

Total weight gain: 5.0 lbs

Maternity clothes: This week, I wore maternity jeans, swimsuit, and shorts.  I’m still wearing regular shirts and dresses, but my dress selection is getting very limited.

Belly button - in or out: It’s still in, but I think I can tell that my growing stomach is starting to stretch it a little.

Symptoms: I’m still dealing with a little nausea, as well as low back pain.

Movement: I felt Baby Johnson for the first time on Saturday (June 2nd).  I felt a couple little flutters that day.  Since then, I’ve continued to feel flutters every now and then.  At the OKC Thunder game on Wednesday, I could feel movement every time the crowd got really loud.  Our baby is already a Thunder fan!  

Food cravings: I haven’t noticed any cravings this week.

Food aversions: Milk.  A bowl of cereal sounded good last night, but then my stomach was upset afterward.  I told my husband to not let me have a bowl of cereal, because I always regret it later on.

Milestones: I felt Baby Johnson move for the first time!

Best moment this week: I had an appointment w/ my OB on Monday (June 4th).  I got to hear the heartbeat again (148 bpm), and we heard the baby kick!  The doctor said that everything is looking great!

What I am looking forward to: I cannot wait for our ultrasound in 2.5 weeks!
