18 Weeks

How far along? I am 18 weeks pregnant. Measuring 5.5  inches long (size of a sweet potato) and 7 ounces. Our baby is busy flexing his arms and legs.  The blood vessels are visible through his/her thin skin, and his/her ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. 

Heartbeat: 160s bpm

Maternity clothes? Definitely! Dont even bother trying to squeeze into "normal" clothes

Sleep: Not too bad. Great on the nights Unisom helps!!!

Best Moment This Week:  Still in 160s.

Movement: On occasion... especially when I bend over to tie shoes. Next lesson plan... how to tie shows ;-)

Food Cravings: This week none

Food Aversions: Plain meat

Gender: Andrew insists it is Baby Emma... we shall see

What I Miss: Eating sweets without the heartburn

What I am Looking Forward to:  Seeing the baby though ultrasound!
