Moments + 18 Weeks!
Happy Friday!
1. Brooke and I were mint jeans twins this weekend. I love getting to spend girl time with my sweet friend (especially when cheese fries are involved) – and it just so happened we were both sportin’ the mint jeans. 🙂
2. My craving for strawberry stuff manifested itself in this giant strawberry cupcake from Whole Foods this week. It was absolutely as delicious as it looks.
3. Husband and I had a much needed date night on Tuesday and he took me to this boutique in town called Scout and Molly’s so I could use the gift card he got me for Christmas. Since their clothing doesn’t exactly fit me right now, I snagged these GORGEOUS quatrefoil and pearl earrings by mollybeads. mollybeads at Scout and Molly’s for Molly. I think it was meant to be. 
4. No date night is complete without post-dinner Sweet Frog. 
5. When I get home from work, it takes me about 2.5 seconds to change into more comfortable clothing. This week’s choice? A shirt that says “nom nom nom,” some red leggings, and a pair of John’s socks. I am the epitome of class, I tell you. 🙂 
Now for my 18 week pregnancy update!
How far along: 18 weeks!
How big is baby: A large mango! (6-8 inches)
Weight gain: Eh, it’s looking like I may have gained a little too much this week. I have a doctor’s appointment today so I will be interested to see if I’m too far ahead or right on track.
Sleeping: Still eh. All I want to do is sleep but sleeping ain’t coming easy right now.
Food cravings: I still want [B]Ski’s. ALL THE TIME. Also SKIM MILK. Like, I could drink a gallon of skim milk in a day (which I won’t do, because then I’ll get sick… but you know what I mean). Also, strawberry-flavored stuff – like strawberry ice cream, strawberry cupcakes, etc.
Food aversions: I have absolutely no interest in eating any kind of Japanese or Chinese food. Weird. I know.
Symptoms: Same, same, I know you’re name. Nausea. Sleepiness. Except now you can add a little moody on top of that. Ew.
Doctor’s appointment: Today!
Movement: So I felt the baby move a bunch late last week and now this week nothing. So, hurmph.
Best moment of the week: A date night with the husband earlier this week – it was SO needed.
What I’m looking forward to: My doctor’s appointment today!
What I did / Got for baby: Honestly, spending time with my husband… QUALITY time was needed and totally for baby. 🙂
What I learned this week: The baby can distinguish between voices now and the baby is also yawning and hiccuping and moving all around… I just can’t really feel it.
Prayer requests: For sleep. I need a good night’s sleep. Seriously. And for baby to continue to grow strong and healthy!
What are your highlights and moments of the week?
I want that nom nom shirt. Love it!!!!
thanks, jamie!! it’s one of my favorites. 🙂
For sleeping you should try a body pillow to snuggle. They make special preggo ones and I loved mine!
Good luck 🙂

ah thank you for the tip, dani! i’ve heard those are awesome!
If ever I wondered where the time went, I only have to look at you pregnant to be shocked shocked shocked. I still remember your struggling like crazy to get out of your baby seat in your mom’s car. Tough little cookie. I’ll bet you give birth to another one.
Love,
jennie
thank you so much, jennie!
distinguish between voices?! that must be so exciting!!!
it is SO exciting!
I love the Nom Nom Nom shirt. It’s perfect. 🙂
thank you so much, susannah!
You look great!! Wow, almost halfway there! Don’t worry, you’ll start feeling the baby all the time soon. 🙂
thank you so much, camille!
OMG that nom nom nom shirt! I NEED one of those when I get preggers! And I think we get the EXACT same froyo! Too funny!!!
Yes! I get strawberry with white chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles every time 🙂
I’m a little tardy to the party, but congrats on your pregnancy! I’m 35 weeks now and I’ve found that my weight gain is less of an even upward trend and more like a spiking chart. I vividly remember between one of my appointments I gained 9 pounds (in 4 weeks) and then at the next appointment 4 weeks after that… no change (even though my diet/exercise regimen also hadn’t changed). So, don’t worry if you gain too much weight between appointments at first. I think babies just go through growth spurts and our bodies accommodate. It all evens out though.
aw thank you so much, julie! that’s good to know – it’s comforting to hear from other women who are in the same place!
Ok a. Spending time with you (especially when cheese fries are involved) is always a highlite for my life b. I LURVE scout and mollys and c. That nom nom shirt is da bomb!!!! Love you friend
Brooke @ what2wear
yes!! i knew you’d love the nom shirt.
You are just too adorable – glad everything is going well for you and the baby-to-be! Blog Hopping from Two Thirty Five – have a fantastical weekend and don’t forget to “Spring Ahead” an hour on Saturday night!
aw thank you so much, antionette!!
That “nom nom nom” shirt is amazing- I’m convinced I would wear it year-round because I’m always saying “nom nom”
hahaha me too!!
That NOM NOM NOM shirt just about took me over the edge with laughter!!! I want one!!!
hahah yes! glad you lurve it, shanna!
You look so adorable! I LOVE those red leggings. You deserve to be comfy – and how exciting you get to go back to the doctor! Is today the day the doc could tell you if you’re having a boy or girl? I thought I read that you weren’t finding out – you have amazing willpower if so!
aw thank you so much, catherine! we aren’t going to find out the gender – we’re going to let it be a surprise!
That cupcake looks SO freaking good…now I want a cupcake too! Hope you’re able to get some sleep this week! Have a great weekend 🙂

thank you so much, judy – i am so glad the money post blessed you!!
Yay for feeling the baby move! I still remember the first time I felt one of those flutters. So magical (and a bit weird too!) 🙂 And I LOVE your nom shirt. So awesome. I’ll pray that you can get some good rest tonight!
SO true! it’s the weirdest / coolest feeling!

thank you so much, sandra!
Look at that adorable baby bump!! I SO wish you were finding out what you’re having!! 🙂
I need some mint jeans!!
And, I have to tell you…when I saw this strawberry cupcake and the yogurt this week I was SOOO jealous. At those moments I was craving something like crazy, and you weren’t making it any better 😉
thank you so much, ashley! yeah it’s hard to think we aren’t going to know but i know it’s going to be TOTALLY worth it!! 🙂
It looks like you had a great week. I think date nights are so much fun when you are married. It’s crazy how little time you spend with each other even when you do live together. Date nights are a perfect way to get some quality time in 🙂
it’s SO true, rebecca. sometimes i think you end up taking each other for granted when you forget to DATE your spouse 🙂
You’re too cute! It feels like your pregnancy is flying by! Good luck at your Doctor Appointment. Will you be finding out the gender?
thank you so much, crystal! Nope 🙂 we are gonna let it be a surprise!!
The earrings? Adorable! Can’t wait to hear how the appointment goes! Get some good rest my dear!
