18 Week Check Up - Baby #3

We are growing!

18 weeks with Lauren, Colton and Baby #3

We went to the Dr Tuesday morning for our 18 week check up. Everything looked great! HR of 158, Measuring 17 cm, weight gain of 3 more pounds (9 total so far). Dr did an ultrasound to let Kraig know the sex of the baby (Dr Reiter is so nice to us)...BUT baby was not positioned right so he could not tell. :-) Sorry babe...I know you want to know, but as much as you want to know is as much as I don't want to know.
Stats
How Far Along: 18 weeks
Size of baby: Mango (6 inches long and about 1/2 pound)
Maternity Clothes: yes as well as dresses, long tanks and leggings.
Gender: Not finding out this time!
Movement: I feel the baby a few times a week now but still not every day. He/She was moving around like crazy in the car yesterday. I was just sure Kraig would have been able to feel on the outside but he wasn't in the car with me.
Sleep: Sleeping is ok but I still have (and will continue to have) pain in my hips which makes me feel 90 years old! I have to switch sides at night to help with the pain. I get up to pee probably 2 times a night.
Symptoms: starting to feel a little heartburn
What I miss: Wine and Sushi
Cravings: Sweets!
Best Moment this week: Hearing my baby's heart beat of 158!!!
What I am looking forward to: Our ultrasound in 4 weeks.
