18 Weeks

Baby Size: 5.6" and 6.7 oz (about the size of a sweet potato)

Fun Facts: Baby is yawning, hiccuping, swallowing and sucking, all while moving around a ton!

How far along: 18 weeks

Gender: Unknown (2 weeks until Daddy finds out) 

Weight gain: 8.5 lbs

Maternity clothes: Rocking a little bit of both - I'm moving more into the maternity style, much more comfortable!

Stretch Marks: No

Belly button in or out: Ready to pop at any moment

Sleep: Finally back to normal (knock on wood, no getting up to pee in the middle of the night)

Best moment this week: Spending Friday with the little man.  We had a mama and Cade day that include lots of errands, but also a breakfast date.

Miss anything: Besides boobs, not reallY!

Movement: Little flutters now and then

Cravings: Nothing unusual (I made the mistake of buying lucky charms and forgot how magically delicious those were!)

Queasy or sick: Feeling good, getting a little bogged down with allergy season now, but feeling much better!

Looking forward to: Warm Weather - This cold crap can go away, I'm ready for sunshine and bathing suits :)

I couldn't leave without posting a few of this awesome little guy!  He was hamming it up for the camera big time :)  Lately, this little man has been into EVERYTHING, which is why I'm dying for warmer weather to get him outside, rather than keep him cooped up.  We were able to get out twice this weekend for a walk and some park time which he thoroughly enjoys.

He is so ready to talk, but most of his communication is in the form of jibber jabbers still.  We have mama and dada down, along with kitty and what seems like doggy.  Once this guy starts talking, I have a feeling he is never going to stop.  We're working on sign language with him right now (thanks to our Nanny Erin!), and he picks it up so quickly.  It makes it nice for us that he can communicate a little better without throwing tantrums because we don't understand what he wants.
