18 Weeks

Size of Baby: Still the size of a turnip. Baby J is about 5 1/2 inches long, the length of a bell pepper, and 7 ounces at this point.

Maternity Clothes: Still wearing regular clothes. Need to look into  getting some stretchy jeans.

Gender: Still not yet. Have a few more weeks before we find out.

Movement: I thought I felt something last week, but I still am not sure I am feeling anything. 


Sleep: Getting lots of naps. Still resting.

What I Miss: Some of my independence of doing things around the house. I keep being told to enjoy it, but it is hard when you are trying to get something done.

Cravings: Sweets

Symptoms: Hormones. Hormones. Hormones.

Moment of the Week: When someone at work was trying to talk around  me to see if I had just been eating to many donuts or if I was pregnant.

You look great! I'm glad you're still feeling pretty good (aside from those pesky hormones).

Wedded Wednesday: Wife +Sick Hubby =Medical Degree

I posted  last week about my husband being sick. Even though he is feeling better, he went to his doctor to make sure everything was OK. His doctor in-turn referred him to a specialist, to make sure as well. When I asked him what was the specialist going to do, he said " I do not know. Probably just check me out."  That did not sit well with me, so I decided that I needed to attend the appointment with him. We attended the appointment. He signed in at the front desk and the receptionist asked for the paperwork sent. He of course looked at me......especially since I was the one who fill out the paperwork. I am not sure why I filled out his paperwork, probably because he asked me to, but I never have him fill out my medical paperwork. I digress. We were escorted back to the exam room. The nurse was really nice. As she began to ask for some of the medical information, I found myself answering more of the questions than he was. Maybe I should have been quiet. The doctor eventua...

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...
