Maddox {18 Weeks}

How far along? 18 Weeks.     Jacoby 18 Weeks

Total weight gain: 6 lbs. My guess last week was wrong. Dr's scale says 6, but I'm happy with that!
Maternity clothes? You know it!
Stretch marks? No. I should probably be more diligent about the oil thing though :) I do it, just not every day!
Sleep: Sleep has been pretty good. I switch positions multiple times throughout the night, but I still start on my belly. Not sure how, but I make it work!
Best moment this week: We got to see Maddox on the ultrasound on Friday and it's amazing to see how much he has grown! He was moving & shaking in there, waving hi to us, and even showing again us that he is in fact ALL boy ;) 
Miss Anything? Not really. Honestly, I'm glad I'm pregnant during the holidays. No one can judge me for eating too much and also, I'll have stretchy pants on a n y w a y so lets just keep eating. Eating light won't do anything for this belly of mine anyways. 
Movement: Here + there.  I am on the go and chasing Coby around all day, so I don't sit still often.  When I do, I feel him gently kick me every now and then. 
Food cravings: Nothing in particular.  I wish I had the healthy cravings I had when I was pregnant with Jacoby, but fruit just doesn't hit the spot for me right now. You know what does? Cookies, with a side of milk :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: No 
Gender: Sweet baby boy Maddox!
Labor Signs: None!
Symptoms: I feel myself getting worn out a little quicker when holding Jacoby. I don't know if that's just because he's getting heavier or what. While I haven't been "working out" this pregnancy, I do stay active with almost daily walks and running around the house after Coby. 
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! If you read my updates at all, you know that I LOVE being pregnant :) Nate told me that he'd be happy with 2 kids (even though he knows that's not the number agreed upon ;)) and I told him, no way! I'm not done being pregnant! lol. 
Looking forward to: We have a few house projects we are working on before we start the nursery. Hopefully getting those done, then into the holiday season (woohoo!!), and then we will start the nursery in January. One thing at a time :) 

Also-- am I the only one that is fighting herself daily to not put up Christmas decorations?!? I see you Instagram friends posting about your Christmas decor going up, but I just can't cave yet. Can I? :)

xox,
