18 weeks!

I'm 18 weeks (and 2 days)!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 18 Weeks

Size of baby: Lawson is the size of a sweet potato, about half a pound. All of his measurements are in the 50th percentile and right on track!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 3 pounds

Maternity Clothes: My regular pants don't fit, but I only have two pair of maternity (and I don't really care for them), so I have mostly been wearing dresses. I plan to pull out the Belly Band again this week too! Shirts are a mixture. Normal shirts fit, but I look fat, not pregnant, ha!

Gender: It's a BOY! Lawson Ryan Payne :)

Movement: Baby is moving a LOT, but nothing I can REALLY feel yet!

Sleep: I sleep pretty good from about 11-5. I wake up every day at 5 to use the bathroom, and it's a toss up on whether or not I am able to go back to sleep or not!
What I miss: Sushi!
Cravings: Nothing really this week...
Symptoms: Sciatic pain, back pain, growing belly, headaches

Best Moment this week: Seeing Lawson again on Friday, having the anatomy scan and finding out that everything looks GREAT, and of course revealing the gender to our family and friends. :)
