How far along: 18 weeks

Total weight gain: 121.2lbs, up 8 1/2lbs. Yes folks, that's a 2.5lb weight gain in one mere week. The baby book wasn't lying when they said that last week baby packs on the pounds. I'm on a weird trend...huge weight gain one week and then I lose some of it the next week.

Maternity Clothes: I'm still living in the Bella Band. All of my pants and jeans still fit, although there's no way that I can get that zipper up.

Best moment this week: We had a fabulous weekend with Parker. She gets so bored just sitting at home so we are always out and about to keep her entertained. The week was clouded by a chipped tooth compliments of Sam's Club Pub Mix (fixed now so I no longer look like a hillbily) and getting hit in the cheek by a baseball sized rock from the lawnmower that was 30 feet away. Note to self: never be outside when the lawnmower is running.

Movement: lots of it

Food Cravings: Eskimo Kisses ice cream. It's vanilla ice cream with shaved coconut and dark chocolate chunks. It's only sold in three locations in Michigan and one of them is very close to my office. If you've never tried it you must scope it out.

Sleep: I'm slowly getting back to my later bedtime--1030pm now.

Milestones: Baby can hear me talking, the bones are hardening and it's about 5 1/2 inches long

Girl or boy: I will know on Monday what's a cookin :)

Random: Heartburn is here and it's come a lot early than it did with Parker. I can't wait to start designing the nursery next week!
