How Far Along: 18 weeks and 1 day

Size of Baby: According to The Bump, the baby is the size of a sweet potato, weighs almost 7 ounces, and is about 5.6 inches long.

Total Weight Gain: +6 pounds, I gained 1.5 pounds this week.

Gender: We will find out TOMORROW!!

Maternity Clothes: I'm mostly wearing maternity clothes and I need to get some more things!! I've been a major outfit repeater here lately!

Wedding Rings On/Off: On

Stretch Marks: None yet

Sleep: I really haven't had many weird dreams this week. I did have one that was about the baby, but I *cannot* remember if it was a boy or girl in my dream! I'm sleeping pretty well even though I wake up at least once every night.

Cravings/Aversions: I haven't been craving anything super specific lately, but foods that are cold have sounded really good. McDonald's ice cream cones have been calling my name on my way home from work!

Symptoms: I feel like my hair is getting thicker {and I already have really thick hair!}. I also think that the texture of it is a little different.

Movement: I think I may have felt the baby move this past weekend. It was really faint and just felt like bubbles popping. I haven't felt it since, but I also haven't spent much time being still or laying down, either, which could be why I haven't noticed it again.

Mood: I've been happy most of the time, but I've also been crying *very* easily over really silly things. Like the dedications on Dancing With the Stars. Or Daniel leaving me the last tootsie roll with my lunch. You get the picture. Complete silliness.

What I Miss: I can't think of anything I'm missing right now!

Looking Forward To: Our ultrasound tomorrow! I just can't believe it's almost here! I'm also super excited about the mini gender reveal party we're having for our family this weekend. I'll post pictures! :)

Best Moment This Week: Getting things ready for our gender reveal party and actually having the decorations I made turn out like I was hoping they would! I plan on sharing tutorials and printables for some of the stuff I've made!
