18 weeks

Hooray! I've made it to the 2nd trimester! Over the past 2 weeks my sickness has almost completely subsided. Hallelujiah! I would take any pain or struggle to carry this pregnancy, but boy is feeling good such a blessing! We've been taking advantage of it and gone  up to Flagstaff, camping, and roadtripped up to Utah over the past month. This pregnancy seems to be flying by much quicker than my first and I'm sure will cruise through during the holiday season. We can't wait!
Here are my updates:



How far along: 18 weeks +3 days
Total weight gain: 4lbs.
Stretch marks: None yet from this pregnancy
Sleep: I'm able to make it through the day without naps and thanks to my body pillow, sleeping pretty good at night still!
Best moment this week: Spending some pool time with one of my fave mama friends and feeling baby move around a lot more!
Miss anything: Not having heartburn and acid reflux..
Movement: Yes! Not so many pronounced kicks but my stomach hardens in certain spots and I can tell baby is stretching out in there :)
Food cravings: Sweets and the "Burrito Especial" from Rubios
Food aversions: Soda, chips, burgers, greasy foods
Gender: GIRL
Belly button: Top half out, bottom half in haha
Happy or moody: Much more happy this trimester!
Looking forward to: Our babymoon to Seattle this fall


We still can't believe we are going to be a family of 4! This baby is a dream come true for our whole family and we can't wait to meet her come January!
