18 weeks - Did we make a he or a she?



If you look carefully in the third picture below... you can see that... it's a.... BOY!



 



How far along: 18 weeks and 5 days.
Fruit/Vegetable Comparison and Size: Sweet Potato - about 5 1/2 inches
Baby's Weight: 11 ounces
Total weight gain: 9 lbs.
Exercise: 0 gym days, busy week! 1 prenatal yoga class 
Maternity clothes: It's all I wear! I can still pull off regular sweaters paired with a maternity tank top for some added length, so I have a few options left in my closet from pre-pregnancy!
Sleep: A few nights of difficult sleep, waking up because of uncomfortable positioning. I'm not unable to sleep on my back and stomach so I feel like I'm ultra aware of making sure that I'm sleeping on my sides, which keeps me in a semi-awake state.
Best moment of this week: Seeing the sweet face of our baby and learning that "it" is a BOY!! 
Miss anything: Lifting heavy things
Movement: Definitely more often, and visible from the outside if I'm watching my bare belly. So cool! 
Food cravings: English muffins with butter and raspberry jam
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Have you started to show yet: Yes, definitely more noticeable, but not quite round yet.
Gender: BOY!!
Belly button in or out: It's changing shape, but it's still in.
Wedding rings on or off: On.
Looking forward to: Anatomy Scan appointment on Monday to see if baby boy has all the necessary body parts.
