Sick of being sick

I've really tried to keep my complaining during this pregnancy to a minimum. Actually, I haven't really had anything to complain about...the pregnancy itself has been easy-peasy. I'm just sick of getting sick! Since early November, I have had 3 nasty colds and a horrible stomach virus. It's crazy how much pregnancy has weakened my immune system. I used to get sick maybe once a year. I know there have been some nasty bugs going around this winter, but I just want to get well and enjoy my pregnancy! Please?!


How far along are you? 18 weeks! Whoa.

Total weight gain: I was up about 4 lbs at my appointment this week.

How big is baby?: About the size of a bell pepper.

Maternity clothes: Oh yes!

Stretch marks?: None yet.

Sleep?: I'm actually sleeping well. The baby must have moved away from my bladder because I'm not peeing nearly as much anymore. The last two nights I haven't had to get up at all in the middle of the night!

Best moment this week?: Seeing my baby boy again, of course:)

Movement?: It's so hard to tell. I'm having little bubble feelings in the same spot in my lower abdomen, so maybe they are little tap taps? I just can't be sure.

Food cravings?: I've been craving Subway sandwiches the past few days.

Food aversions?: Not much.

Labor signs?: No way.

Belly button in or out?: Still innie.

What I miss: Right now, being able to take cold meds.

What I'm looking forward to: Feeling better!

Here's our little guy this week. Look at those chubby cheeks!
