Little bean is officially 18 weeks old and apparently the size of a cucumber. I think it’s kind of strange checking the app weekly to see what size produce we’ve made it to but I guess visually it’s the easiest comparison.
I have really felt my cravings die down — I don’t crave subs, ice cream or green tea like I used to but my nightly bathroom breaks have yet to stop. I’m also eating less (thank goodness) because I no longer have to curb the nausea. I had my first round of heartburn last night waiting for our table at dinner with Sadie and Michael and let’s just say I’d take the first trimester nausea. (But if I really had my way, I’d do without either.)
We had our anatomy scan Friday morning and little bean is looking healthy and growing well. We also found out the GENDER which I have been dying to know. Daniel and I both want a boy which might be why I’ve felt like I’m having a girl… trying not to get my hopes up. The Chinese calendar told me I’m having a girl but my salt cravings as well as the baby’s heart rate apparently indicate a boy. Later this afternoon, Daniel and I are meeting our families at Zachariah’s Acres for a gender reveal and I cannot wait for everyone to know!
My first baby purchase were these cute little moccasins and unwrapping them gave me all the cute aggression. It also made this pregnancy feel a little more than just bloat, however, I am finally starting to “pop” (as everyone has referred to it as). It’s so crazy to think that this 5-6oz nugget currently growing inside of me will one day fit into these tiny shoes. And then just as quickly, will one day be too big for these tiny shoes. (I know, I’m getting ahead of myself.)
