How Far Along:  
18 Weeks

Size of baby:
A Sweet Potato

Total Weight Gain:
still -2 lbs

Stretch Marks: 

Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
Give me all the maternity clothes!

Gender:
Dunno yet, soon soon!!

Movement:
yes

Sleep:
hes been crap this past week with all the pain from my wisdom tooth I'm lucky to sleep a 3 hour stretch without waking up from pain.

What I miss:
my mouth NOT hurting, its been a vicious week. I have an appointment next Tuesday to have this bad boy extracted, until then it's me and tylenol 3

Food Cravings:   

nothing crazy this week, been limited to stuff that I can manage to open my mouth to chew!

Food Aversions: 
nothing right now

Symptoms:
aside from the random round ligament pain I'd say my mouth took over any noticeable pregnancy symptoms this week!  

Best Moment This Week:

Heard the baby's heartbeat 157 at the appointment on Friday and scheduled our Ultrasound! MONDAY the 30th which is also our anniversary!

What I’m looking forward to: 

Monday's Ultrasound so we can finally know what sex this baby is!

Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 17

 Apparently it time for another mirror cleaning.  This is the happiest look your gonna get from me today since I feel like I was socked in the jaw.  Pretty sure I'm having wisdom tooth issues (of course while pregnant).  And I get to wait till tomorrow to see the dentist..Oh yay!

How Far Along:  
17 Weeks

Size of baby:
An Onion

Total Weight Gain:
Still at -2 lbs in the mornings, in the evenings I've almost gained a pound.  I wish I had kept track like this with Addison so that I could compare.  I know I felt a TON better when I was pregnant with her and didn't lose weight until later in pregnancy and then it was only a few lbs which came right back.

Stretch Marks: 

Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
 See last week, but I'm sure to be rocking maternity jeans from now on, the others just can't give me comfort!

Gender:
Dunno yet, soon soon!!

Movement:
Still just randomly feeling movement, have been getting lots of weird pulling feelings when I turn my torso far in one direction and stretch to reach something, like knock me on my ass feelings.  Which I guess is round ligament pain, Never had that with Addison!

Sleep:
I'll always take more.

What I miss:
nothing right now

Food Cravings:   

Had more of a sweet tooth lately, and as last time I want chewy candy, ie. starburst, twizzlers, jelly beans.  This baby really likes Dairy as in I've drank more milk lately than I have in the past 10 years. And been on a big soup kick this week.  If you haven't made this : Lasagna Soup you should, it is pretty delicious, even better when you add cottage cheese to the left overs. yum.  

Food Aversions: 
nothing right now, I can even drink coffee again after I've been awake for a while.

Symptoms:
been getting motion sickness which I've never experienced before, mostly when I ride on the bus or in the van home from work.

Best Moment This Week:

finally feeling more normal and able to function like myself!

What I’m looking forward to:  

Friday's Appointment

 Addison:
"Doesn't want a girl, I want a baby brother like Audrina & Harker"

Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 16

You get two pictures this week, cause the baby bump looks way different depending on what angle you get to the mirror!

How Far Along:  
16 Weeks

Size of baby:
An Avocado 

Total Weight Gain:
up 5 lbs from the 7 that I lost for a total gain of -2lbs, told you that eating every 2 hours was going to catch up!

Stretch Marks: 

Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
 I still don't have to wear them but they are definitely reaching the point where they are more comfortable than my regular jeans. I like my shirts to be tight fitting when I'm pregnant, I don't know why but loose an billowy just make me feel more huge so I will continue to rock my normal shirts until my belly can't be fully covered or I fear that I am stretching them out.   I will be sure to be rocking the Maternity pants within a few weeks! 

Gender:
Dunno yet

Movement:
positive that I'm feeling little kicks and jabs the past few days 

Sleep:
So sleepy.

What I miss:
not feeling 'normal', always something with this pregnancy!

Food Cravings:   

nothing in particular, but been on a subway kick, cold lunch meat & pregnancy rules be damned. I'm eating my sandwich!   

Food Aversions: 
Getting a ton better, not much that I can't eat now, just sometimes I can't eat very much of it before I decide I don't want it.  (ie. coffee which I want to drink oh so badly, I can barely drink a whole cup!)

Symptoms:
body aches (I blame a tough work week on that), some serious abdomen pain randomly, a little nausea but huge improvements this week, sleepy.

Best Moment This Week:

Kicks and jabs from baby Frankenstein

What I’m looking forward to:  

Appointment next week & scheduling my ultrasound so we can start playing the name game.

 Addison:
Still insistent on a baby brother like her friend Audrina!
