18 week update! :)

How far along? 18 weeks, 5 days

Total weight gain/loss: I haven't weighed myself, but my next Dr's appt. is coming up.

Maternity Clothes? Yes! My sister and Mom took me shopping (and it was sooo much fun!). I got some cute clothes for sure and they feel great! Below is a picture of my favorite top that I got.

 

 My favorite shirt that I got when we went shopping.

 

Stretch marks? just a tiny bit

Sleep: I get up a lot in the night due to a variety of reasons. However, mostly it's been because I have been coughing a lot lately.

Best moment this week: Christmas fun with family! :) Below shows an awesome gift from my parents. They made this cute penguin for the baby's room. Mom designed the penguin and Dad helped cut it out. So cute and perfect!

My sister is so excited about being an aunt! ;)

Miss Anything? I still miss caffeine. I also miss being able to eat mexican food without feeling bad!

Movement? Just little flutters every now and then. I felt them for the first time at 16 weeks and 6 days on 12/13/14. So fun! And I do believe I felt him or her on Christmas day. Just slight flutters!

Food Cravings? Eh not really. I LOVE cereal. That has been the one constant through this pregnancy so far. Cereal is my favorite thing in the world to eat! But then, it's always been!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Anything with a kick to it...we went out to get some mexican, and I couldn't eat it very long. Mexican is my favorite food, but this baby definitely has an adversion to it.

Have you started to show? Yeah I think so. I think the maternity clothes really "show" it off! :)

Labor Signs? No and I am praying that I won't for a long time.

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings off or on? On still.

Happy or Moody most of the time? Oh so moody! When I think I am feeling normal, then there comes a moment where I get all sad or mad or whatever for no reason at all. My poor husband! Pray for him ;) He is such a super Daddy. He has been more than patient and shows me so much love and concern, even when I'm moody brat! ;)

Wisdom: I still say - enjoy every moment of pregnancy. There are plenty of people who would love to be able to carry a baby/be pregnant. I don't take it for granted.

Looking forward to: We just had a wonderful Christmas, and now I am looking forward to New Years Eve. We have a Dr's appointment on New Years Eve and hopefully find out the baby's gender! I am praying that Baby Taber lets us see! :) Plus, it will just be fun being with friends that night and spending New Years with my sweets!
