18 WEEKS

16 weeks then 18 weeks

How far along: 18 weeks 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: 7 lbs since last appointment four weeks ago. So 14 total. My midwife said its a little too much so I need to limit my carb intake, eat more fruits and vegetables, and exercise more. 
Maternity clothes? Mostly maternity but still a little of both
Sleep: Pretty good
Best moment this week: Hearing baby girl's heartbeat on the doppler with the midwife :)
Movement? Still only really small taps. Hoping for some more this week!
Food cravings: Sushi and deli meat
Gender prediction: GIRL
Belly button in or out? In
What I miss: Sushi and deli meat 
What I am looking forward to: Spring break starting next Friday! And the anatomy scan also next Friday. I'm a little nervous for this one too because this is when we will find out if anything is wrong
Milestones: Almost halfway there!
Things I've been experiencing this week: Really tired after work, some leg cramps, and really thirsty
Showing? Getting a little bigger. Two people asked me this week! YAY
Size of baby: Sweet potato. About 5.6 inches and 6.7 ounces

What Baby is up to: Her bones are starting to harden and she's hiccuping, yawning, kicking, punching, swallowing, and sucking. She is a busy girl!

Subway Tuna Wednesdays

So last Wednesday was my first ever tuna sandwich from Subway and lets just say...I'm in LOOOOVE! Unfortunately I am only allowed tuna once a week so I've to wait 7 whole days until my next one which will be in about 30 minutes. So excited. And because all my posts need to have pictures...

Stroller Decisions

Hello all! So here is what we are trying to decide on. The Uppababy Vista OR the Bob. Both are beautiful and very functional.

THE BOB

This is the Bentley of jogging strollers. It is super easy to maneuver, has a carseat adapter (for extra $), and has a large storage underneath for your things. I don't like that it doesn't come with a cupholder. But you can buy them separately. I can also walk a lot with baby girl, even jog if I want to. We saw Bob's everywhere in our town and anyone we talk to who has one raves about it. They all say they wouldn't get any other stroller after having the Bob

THE UPPABABY VISTA

My favorite thing about this stroller? The bassinet. I would just love to push baby girl around in a vintage looking bassinet stroller. Only problem is you can only use the bassinet up until 3-5 months old. Another thing I love about this stroller is that the seat comes off and you can use it with the carseat like a SnapnGo. Which I think are very functional but oh so ugly. So basically I would love this stroller for baby girl but the features I like about it are to be used only while she is an infant. I'm sure its a great stroller even after the infant stage, but I would prefer the Bob for the older months/years. 

Oh decisions, decisions!

Again, ignore the messy room! Just look at the tiny bump

I'm sorry. They are too cute

Job Offer

My new job? As some of you know, my job right now is working with the school district and subbing for LVN nurses who have a 1:1 student. I am an RN but not working as one right now. But today I got a job offer to work for my district as one of the RN's. I would be assigned to 5 schools in our district (one including the high school Tony works at. Major bonus!). If I wasn't pregnant right now, I would jump on this and probably be really excited. My hesitation is about next year after Bean arrives. My due date is August 31st so originally I had planned to stay home with baby girl until Christmas-break then only go back 2 days a week. This is going to be a lot harder with the new job since its a full time position and I am definitely not working full time after she gets here. I will have to go back earlier but hopefully I can find a way to make it only 2 days a week... We will see. But in the mean time, I've decided to accept the job and try it out. So as of now, I am SRV school district's newest school nurse! EEEk.

Maternity clothes? Wearing mostly maternity pants and starting to wear maternity shirts. I don't really need the shirts yet but my regular ones aren't long enough to cover the band on the maternity pants. Plus the regular ones just make me look like I have a food baby and maternity actually makes me look a little pregnant
Sleep: Crazzzzy dreams lately. Also I had to get up to pee 6 times a few nights ago
Best moment this week: We registered! That was fun :)
Movement? Not too much, but I did notice that when I play loud music she moves. Its nothing strong just like tiny little taps. I cant wait til I can really feel her move!
Food cravings: Sushi, deli sandwiches, Fentons. Same as always
