18 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 18 weeks
Size of baby: According to babycenter.com the baby is about the size of a bell pepper.
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +9 ish lbs.
Maternity Clothes: i am exclusively in maternity pants but still wearing non-maternity shirts. Gender: BOY!!!
Movement: Still some Flutters here and there. Nothing consistent, although i was in line at Kroger on Saturday and felt a very distinctive thud. I even said "whoa" and the cashier was like ma'am are you ok....lol
What I miss: nothing really. i am easing into the honeymoon phase quite nicely.
Sleep: Better but if i drink too much water in the evening i will be up and down all night to pee.
Symptoms: my hair seems like it is falling out like crazy. which i do not remember from my last pregnancy. i hope that i am not going bald.... :(
Cravings: i have had a sweet tooth this week so it has been icecream, cake, and smoothies.
Best Moment this week: Picking up the babies furniture and finally agreeing on a name for this little man.
What I am looking forward to: my anatomy scan next friday.
