Week 18

How far along: 18 weeks 2 days

Baby size: Sweet Potato

Total weight gain/loss: +6 pounds

Sleep: So-so. Fine when I atually sleep but often wake up early hours for no reason when my body refuses to sleep.

Movement: Yeah, used to be 2-3 times a day now its more like 5

Food cravings/aversions: Cheese is still really good, jelly sweets I could eat all day every. Pasta's yummy too. Fruit and veg I love always.

Pregnancy symptoms: Bit of back ache yesterday, twinges here and there round my belly and top of my legs. I get indigestion alot and a bit of heartburn. Certain food's repeat on me all day long so I try to avoid them, things like garlic, onion and other certain herbs, oh and oddly enough, cucumber is the worse!

What I miss: Not feeling hungry and thirsty all the time. When it comes to eating I can't stomach massive portions but if I'm not eating I feel like I need to be, same with drinking.

What I'm looking forward to: Deryck being able to feel the baby move, I can feel it all the time now and want desperately for him to know what I am feeling. Soon hopefully. Website state that normally first time mum's can feel the from 18 weeks on but I've feel baby move for at least a month now.

Milestones: Realising that we are probably not going to be in the house we are in now when baby is born. All rather daunting, it's a bitter-sweet time. We have a plan, but whether that plan will happen is something we aren't sure of. Knowing I've only got just under 5 months to find the right place does worry me.

Best moment of this week/Pregnancy moments with hubby: Being at one of our best friends wedding. Was an emotional day, which was very beautiful. The scariest point was being unsure we'd even get home in the snow. It will be a memerable day for everyone and something we can look back and tell baby in years to come. :)
