Week 18

This is just flying by isn't it?  Pregnancy is usually annoyingly slow! ha.  I feel like this is progressing at a nice pace though.

Week 18... let's see.  Heartburn is the dominant symptom.  That and a growing belly.  I have been wanting lemony things this past week.  I didn't realize it until today when I was looking up recipes for Lemon bars and Lemon cupcakes ha ha ha.  I didn't make them, but I am tempted.  I have the stuff to if I decide I can't stand it any longer. ha.

So here I am at 18 weeks.  Hello belly.
It's surely growing.  I'm just glad that it seems that my belly is the only thing growing :) I think I have gained a little bit in my legs, but not much thankfully.

Keeping my walks going everyday.  I actually look forward to them because they are a huge stress relief and help me to deal with a lot of the crazy hormones flying through my body right now.  My walk today was a tad traumatic.  I walked into a spider web with a HUGE spider on it.  I ended up having to walk home and have Dave check me over to make sure the spider was gone.  YUCKY!  I am not arachnophobic, but I don't like the buggers I tell you.

  1. Heartburn is my worst symptom, too!
    I'd never had it before pregnancy.

  6. Heartburn is the worst thing yet that I've experienced in my pregnancy, although walking into a giant spider would be awful!

    I'm glad walking helps with the stress and crazy hormones. I get super teary sometimes and I can't stand being around myself when it happens.

  7. Aww! You are so cute!
    I'm not a lemony person. I seriously wonder what I would crave when I'm pregnant! who knows. It could be lemon flavors!
    oh man and I would be terrified if I had walked into a spider web! Glad that Dave saved the day!
