18 weeks (Baby #3)

How far along?: 18 weeks, 2 days

How big is baby?: Approximately the size of a sweet potato, around 5.6 inches in length & weighing about 6.7 oz. 

Total weight gain/loss: +1 pounds as of this AM, but still fluctuates a bit. 

Maternity clothes?: Shorts, tanks & shirts (just for length), but all of my regular jeans & pants still fit just fine although they are starting to feel a tad tighter in the belly come evening. I've started wearing some of my maternity pants all well since all of my non-maternity pants are dirty & I haven't done laundry yet! Lazy...Ha!

Symptoms: Loss of appetite, lots of fatigue & increasing back pain. I have started to get more frequent heartburn in the evenings usually. Boo! Time to get some Tums & go from there. =/ I had it so bad the other night that I started coughing & puked, twice. Yayyyyyyyyyyyy.

Stretch marks?: Still just the ones from H thus far.

Sleep: Soooooo tired still, the whole second trimester energy burst thing is a lie when you already have two kids to take care of! =p

Movement: I still haven't felt a darn thing & now I am positive that I have an anterior placenta. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll feel something. I looked up when I started to feel movement with the boys & it seems like right around 19-20 weeks. Bah.

Food cravings: I don't have as many aversions, but still lack of appetite. My stomach fills quickly with small amounts of food & nothing sounds particularly great still. The increased heartburn is also not really helping. =/

Gender: Yep, we do know & we still aren't sharing the news with everyone yet. I'm waiting for a few things to arrive in the mail prior to making the "big reveal". I'm hoping in the next day or so. =)

Labor Signs: Nothing yet, clearly.

Belly Button in or out?: In & I'll be surprised if it doesn't stay that way. I have yet to ever "pop" with any pregnancy.

What I miss: Still just the same old, same old. Energy & motivation!

What I am looking forward to: Feeling this little one move! Come on, baby, throw your momma a bone here already. =( ---STILL THIS. =p
