Well, here I am, 18 weeks and 1 day pregnant. Wow. Things are getting more exciting. I had felt a few flutters and then the other night I decided to use my doppler. I love hearing that beautiful heartbeat. I put the doppler on my belly and just a few seconds later. KICK! I definitely felt that. Baby doesn't like to be bothered apparently :) So if I want to feel the baby, use the doppler. He/she moves a bunch. I now feel some movement when I lay down at night too. It's amazing.
I'm feeling pretty weak lately. Yesterday at work I got so weak and lightheaded that I called the doctor. They asked me to come in and did some blood work. She said my symptoms could be normal but with my history of anemia, it could be back. I'm not awaiting my doctor's call for results. I almost hope it's my iron so it's something I can fix. Blah, so exhausted.
Here's an 18 week update:
Cravings: Still orange juice & pickles (only claussen)
Baby size: Bell pepper
Happy Things: feeling movement
Sad things/Worries: my exhaustion, iron levels
Weight Gain: 8 lbs. eek!
Aches and Pains: Headaches

Maternity clothes? yep, but still loving my sweatpants too :)
