18 Weeks - Pregnancy Update

How Far: 18 weeks

Gender: Unknown.

Sleep: Not a great week for sleep, I find myself tossing and turning. When I am asleep I often get woken by Dan because i'm taking up most of the bed or laying on him.

Cravings: Ice cream, juicy boiled sweets (I still haven't found any that are satisfying my cravings!) and wine, yep WINE, I rarely drink when I'm not pregnant so I have found it extremely odd fancying a glass of wine of an evening!

Symptoms: Lots of weird dreams this week and they all seem so real! Morning sickness has gone now although I have been getting headaches every couple of days, but I am feeling more energised this week. I got my blood test results, my platelets have risen from below the 150 mark to above!

Movements: Yes, lots of little bubbly feelings.

Stretchmarks: No new ones. I have been trying to moisturise daily to keep them to a minimum.

Moments -

- Best: Last night Dan got to feel baby move for the first time (although he did say he thought he had felt baby before), it was so lovely to see his face light up. We also got to hear baby's heart beat this week, Aella was such a good girl and was excited to remind us all the way home she has heard baby's boomboom.

- Worst: There hasn't been any bad moments I can think of this week. Is not being enough food in the house one? When I am hungry, I need food NOW!

I am missing: Laying comfortably in bed.

I am looking forward to: Our 2nd scan and also going away to my parents this weekend to celebrate my mums birthday.
