17 and 18 Weeks

17 Weeks (and 3 days 6/8)

18 Weeks (and 2 days 6/14)

Well, it has been a pretty uneventful past couple of weeks. The picture on the right is right before Kinsley's 2nd birthday party. It was Chevron themed so I had to wear my teal chevron scarf. I even did a cute chevron design on my toes! Looking at that picture I feel like I have a lot of arch in my back already. I might need to start working on that.
My next appointment with Kim is Monday (6/23). And my ultrasound is on July 3rd! We are planning a gender reveal party that evening so I hope this baby cooperates! Anyone have any guesses?

How far along: 17-18 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 6 lbs gained according to the scale at the gym at almost 18 weeks. Not too bad!
Maternity clothes?: Yup! Maternity shorts are terrible! Looks like its going to be a warm summer. I acutally have one pair of shorts that still fit. I wore them just shortly after I had Kinsley
Stretch marks?: None
Sleep:  I have the craziest dreams! It's quite annoying actually
Best moment this week: Spending quality time with Kinsley and treasuring time with just her.
Movement: YES! Two kicks were hard enough I could actually feel them on my hand!
Food cravings: My aunt mentioned Casey's pizza and it has sounded amazing ever since!
Gender: We'll know soon!
What I miss: Fitting in to my old shorts
Milestones: More and more movement!

From BabyCenter:
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long, and he weighs almost 7 ounces (about the size of a bell pepper). He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
