18 weeks!


How far along: 18 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 14.5 pounds
Maternity clothes: yup-i am already too big for some pants I was wearing early on in the 1st trimester!
Stretch marks: nope  
Sleep:  i have joined the ranks of tons of pillows in the bed to be able to sleep, one for my front and one for my back!  
Best moment this week:  1st Christmas with our babies...even though they were inside!  Next year will be so special with them in our arms!
Gender: finding out on January 7th
Belly button in or out?: In, but it is wider and not as deep
Craving: not much really...pickles always sound good! 
What I miss: not much, i am so happy to have these little ones inside me!
What I am looking forward to:  ultrasound in a week and a half! 



Baby Center:  "Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound."



Here is what a 20 week difference looks like, my BF Christie came over for dinner and we had to get at least one picture with us both pregnant!  She is 38 weeks today and is scheduled to have her little girl on January 5th!  We both got engaged and married in 2005 and are having babies in 2010!  We said 5 years and we meant it!  God is so good to have bless us in so many ways!!
