Bumpdate- 18 Weeks

How far along: 18 weeks, 5 days

Baby is the size of: a mango

Extra poundage: i'm going to stick with the 5 lbs i know i gained for sure. we don't have a scale at home anymore and the bathroom at the dr's office with the scale was occupied the last time i was there.

Bump status: still a baby bump. the associate at Gap told me i was very petite when i told her how far along i was!

Favorite food of the week: meh, not a whole lot. lately i haven't felt really hungry at all. i'm still making myself eat, but in the afternoons i have to remind myself. 

Heartburn worthy foods: Umami Burger's cheesy tater tots. they are GOOD but man do they burn all the way down. thank goodness i knew this ahead of time and took some Tums!

Favorite piece of clothing this week: i wouldn't say it's my favorite, but my new Maxi dress from Target is pretty darn comfy. i got a few comments at church on the color, even though i was a little afraid it looked like a bathing suit pattern.

Movement: there have been three separate instances this week where i SWEAR i felt movement comparable to kicking. there were three bumps in a row, but i'm still not absolutely sure. now when i lay down, i try and be as still as possible, hoping i can feel it again.

Sleep: pretty freaking good.
Pee trips in the night: 2. there was even 1 night last week when i only went once! so exciting.

Guilty pleasure: i've been digging A&W root beer quite a lot this week. so refreshing! 
Baby purchases this week:  finally, i can say yes! at our ultrasound we found out the sex of the wee babe and i bought some gender appropriate clothes. separate post to come! 
Looking forward to: bonding more with LW, especially now that i know what we're having :)

p.s., how much better is this picture? i got a new camera this week and it's glorious!
