Week 18

How far along? 17w5d
Total weight gain/loss: well, I haven't weighed myself, but I'm guessing +17-18 at this point
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I think I'm at that center-of-gravity-shift-time so my back has been more achy, thus making it slightly uncomfortable to sleep, but I've been managing with my Snoogle and a pletora of pillows. Its amazing how many more props I can use when Chris is in the other bed!
Best moment this week: Feeling a BIG kick!
Movement: Yes, but its sporatic. With Gabriella, once I started feeling movement it never stopped. With this babe, I feel it much more sporatically. Sometimes yes, somedays not at all - they are very light taps and off to the side. I'm guessing this is b/c of the placenta. Yesterday when I was getting my brows done, it must have been the way I was laying down b/c I felt the biggest kick as I laid there. It literally took my breath away!
Food cravings: Nothing in particular this week. I still love everything generally
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Warmth! Last week I wrote about how it was super hot, but since Friday we've had very chilly temps (Sunday was even in the 30s!) so I'd like some stable spring weather please (effing Chicago)
What I am looking forward to: VACAY!
Milestones: Yay for movement! Oh, and also, all of our b/w screening tests (quad screen and OB panel) came back normal. Just waiting now on the CF carrier screen test results.

When I was pregnant with Bria I didn't feel her as often but with this one I feel her everyday, funny how we're switched this time around :)
Again, I LOVE your dress and your adorable belly!
