How far along: 18 weeks and 6 days.
Symptoms: Exhaustion, which is almost completely gone. But now I'm starting to get round ligament pain and it sure isn't my friend.
Total Weight Gain: 3 pounds as of my last doctor's visit. Let's hope it doesn't go up too much next Friday! :)
Maternity Clothes: Still not in maternity clothes at all yet. Wearing my normal clothes and some of them are still loose on me although I know it won't be that way for too much longer!

Stretch Marks: I haven't noticed any yet! Again, let's hope it stays that way!
Sleep: I've been tossing and turning a lot lately and struggling to get comfortable, but I've just found my new best friend - a body pillow! I slept with it for the first time last night and it was awesome! So hopefully sleep will be returning to me post haste!
Best Moment This Week: Starting to feel Nugget moving. They're just flutters, but it's awesome nonetheless!!
Movement: See above. I've felt it a couple of times over the weekend and then once today.
Food Cravings: No real cravings of any sort. I'll crave something just once and then it'll be gone. The oddest one so far was deviled eggs. But I had some and the craving went away! So I'd say that's no different than a normal craving.
Belly Button: Still in.
What I miss: Honestly? Nothing. This is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me and the only things I'm not getting to have are caffeine and alcohol and I'm not missing either one a bit!
What I am looking forward to: I have exactly 11 days until I go back for my next ultrasound and we're supposed to be able to confirm the gender and so I can't wait for that and then to begin registering and decorating the nursery!
Milestones: I don't know that I've really had any "milestones" per se other than making it to my 2nd trimester and now feeling Nugget moving.
How is Daddy?: He couldn't be more excited. I loved getting to see him interact with a friend's child this weekend and I just saw the joy in his face. I know he can't wait for Nugget to get here and I know that he will be the best dad any child could ever ask for!
How are the Grandparents?: They are all just thrilled, but I think my mom especially as this is her first! My mom has already been helping me pick stuff out and helping me plan the nursery.
