It\u2019s been a rough week emotionally, but I would have to say all of the kicks I\u2019m feeling every day. <br><strong>Miss Anything: <\/strong>so many things right now.<br><strong>Movement:<\/strong> yes &#8211; and she is getting stronger!! I was able to capture a pretty big movement on my phone and sent it to my mom. She said she almost fell out of her chair lol. Also feeling kicks as I write this. Good morning baby girl :)<br><strong>Food cravings:<\/strong> fruit I guess. Which we really need to go to the store so we don\u2019t have any fresh fruit at home. I\u2019ve had to settle for eating applesauce like I\u2019m 5 years old. ;)<br><strong>Anything making you queasy or sick:<\/strong> no! Symptoms: heart burn&#8230; some mild abdomen cramping. Still waiting for this leg cramps to kick in, omg :( they are the worst!<br><strong>Have you started to show yet:<\/strong> yes<br><strong>Gender:<\/strong> baby girl!<br><strong>Labor Signs:<\/strong> nope<br><strong>Belly Button in or out?<\/strong> Both still I think <br><strong>Wedding rings on or off?<\/strong> On<br><strong>Happy or Moody most of the time:<\/strong> heh well. I\u2019m not moody, just stressed and nervous about the current state of things. Hoping it will get better from here. <br><strong>Weekly Wisdom:<\/strong> I\u2019ve been giving myself one thing to do a day, to add a little joy to each day. Some things are: read a chapter in a book, find a specific baby item online, take a bath, have a cup of tea, etc.<br><strong>Looking Forward To: <\/strong>no MDW at the lake for me&#8230; :\u2019( next year for sure!!! Still just really looking forward to that 20 week ultrasound, even though it feels a lifetime away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/momentsdontcollectdust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6dca835a-066b-409c-b6ba-24340fcd1b91-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/momentsdontcollectdust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6dca835a-066b-409c-b6ba-24340fcd1b91-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/momentsdontcollectdust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6dca835a-066b-409c-b6ba-24340fcd1b91-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/momentsdontcollectdust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6dca835a-066b-409c-b6ba-24340fcd1b91-708x944.jpg 708w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How far along? 18 weeksTotal weight gain: In the 4-7 range, I feel like it\u2019s fluctuating latelyMaternity clothes?
