18 Week Belly Picture

Just fyi, I’ve had some crazy couple of weeks in the personal life, which explains the lack of photos regarding “The Backwards Shirt Debacle” and this belly picture looking completely weary & travel-worn.  Have no fear, all is well in Blair & Nate & HJ-land, it’s just exhausting for the moment!

p.s. Tuck wanted to be in the picture.  She won’t leave my side anymore!

Oh, & if you aren’t obsessively staring at the little ticker to the left, a little over 48 HOURS until we find out what HJ is packin’!!!!!!!!

How far along? 18 weeks!

Total weight gain/loss: So it’s night, I’m fully dressed & I’ve been eating fast food all weekend, so the scale says I am up 9.5 lbs total, which is 7 lbs in one week.  I’ll see what the doctor says on Wednesday, lol.
Maternity clothes? yep, even shirts.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: After sleeping on a roll-away cot all weekend, I am ridiculously exhausted.

Best moment this week: Picking out a little soft sweatsuit for HJ at Baby Gap.

Movement: Believe it or not, HJ woke me up last night with one hell of a kick.
Food cravings: None anymore!  I like ice cream a lot…but that could be said at any stage in my life
Gender: I’m done guessing because we find out in 60 hours!!
Labor Signs: None

Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Over-easy eggs.

What I am looking forward to: The big ultrasound! (der)
Weekly Wisdom: Clean out the nursery early in the 2nd tri so you can start putting it together the moment after the big u/s.

Milestones: My engagement ring & front band are officially off due to swelling…but I can still manage my wedding band.
