How far along: 18 Weeks.
Total Weight Gained: Well, I did stand on Mum's scales and was quite pleased as it was about 6lbs more than before, then I got on Dad's scales and it was more!! So I'm going to go by Mum's scales I think! People keep saying I'm showing quite a bit this week and asking if it's twins! I can only assume this baby is having an early growth spurt and will settle down growth soon, else I'll be huge soon. Mind you, Steve is tall and broad. I hope it's not like Lily and Marshall from How I Met Your Mother where Lily worries that her baby will like a 16lb turkey!!
Maternity Clothes: I've been wearing my maternity coat, and gladly, as it's been cold this week. And leggings and my maternity dress that is sort of normal looking too!!
Stretch Marks: Still none I can see yet!
Sleep: Seem to be picking up at the moment in this area, it's just when Steve starts snoring that causes the issues at the moment!!
Best Moment of the Week: Feeling excited about buying the buggy!! And being told we're just in date for the Health in Pregnancy grant! Literally by a matter of days!! That will be a welcome bit of money to buy baby things with.
Movement: Yes, a little, still not a lot. Waiting for the proper kicks.
Food Cravings: Grapefruits. Can't get enough this week. I've munched my way through six large red grapefruits in a short space of time.
Gender: Not long until the 26th!!!
Belly Button: Not too much change from last week.
What I miss: Regular clothes. It's cold outside and I've not got a lot of choice with my wardrobe!
What I'm looking forward to: The anomaly scan on the 26th, and in two weeks we're half the way along. Ooh, and getting the nursery sorted - furniture, wall paints and blankets etc...
Milestones: Two weeks from half way along!!
