18 WEEK BUMPDATE


Well it has been 2 weeks since I last did a weekly bumpdate - and it feels like a lot has happened but I think it's mostly because I have been super busy. This past week was my work shutdown so I had a week off, I spent half of it in Ottawa visiting my cousin and the other half at home visiting my family. So lots of driving! But I have also had a second ultra sound to verify that she's still a girl (she is ha) and just being able to feel more and more connected to her, these last two weeks have been so special. 

How far along? 18 weeks

Total weight gain? Still just sitting at 2lbs total.

Maternity clothes? I don't need them, but this week I did try out a few things I have and you can definitely tell I'm pregnant when I wear them haha.

Stretch marks? I have a few, it was inevitable - my skin has also been SO itchy, so I know more might be on their way.

Sleep? Going well, no complaints! I still miss my cousin's cot I slept on when I was visiting her, it was SO comfy!

Best moment this week? I felt her for the first time - it felt kind of like popcorn, and I think in that moment it all kind of sunk in that she's all mine forever. 

Miss anything? With the warm weather I kind of miss being able to go on rides haha - random I know, I passed Canada's Wonderland a lot this week so it was on my mind.

Movement? Yes, she is starting to make herself known!

Food cravings? It's always ice cream.

Anything making you feel sick or queasy? I have felt a few waves of nausea once and a while, I have also been experiencing feeling light headed. 

Showing? Yeah I'm showing now, more when I wear certain clothes.

Gender? GIRL!!!

Labor signs? None.

Symptoms? Nothing really, finally starting to feel that "second trimester glow" haha

Belly button in or out? In.

Wedding ring on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy this week, I have enjoyed the time off and spending time with loved ones and feeling like a weight has been lifted off being away from home. 

Looking forward to: More of the GORGEOUS weather!
