18 weeks

I'm 18 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 18 Weeks 4 days (150 days until my due date)

Size of baby: Baby Ortiz is the size of a sweet potato

Total Weight Gain/Loss: gained five pounds

Maternity Clothes: I wear stretchier pants and just bought my first maternity shirt.

Gender: For three weeks (after three different techs told us what we were having) we thought we were have a girl. On Monday night I visited a Kaiser ultrasound tech for my midtrimester scan and she revealed that we were indeed having a B O Y! We were shocked but pleasantly surprised!

Movement: I have been feeling some small flutters and movements but no kicks or punches yet. I can't wait to feel a good punch or kick!!!
Sleep: I've been sleeping pretty good. I wake up once or twice a night to go to the bathroom.

What I miss: sleeping ALL night without waking up. I guess my body's getting me ready for all nighters.

Cravings: PIZZA! We just tried the Freshetta Naturally Rising Pizza and it was the best frozen pizza I've ever had!!

Symptoms: I feel a more frequent need to pee and have heartburn more than a few times a week.

Best Moment this week: Finding out the "real" gender of our little baby!!!!
