18-week update

How Far along? 18 weeks (4 1/2 months)

Size of the Baby? size of a sweet potato

Maternity Clothes? Definitely! Last weekend, I completely converted my closet to all maternity and pregnancy-friendly clothes.

Gender? It's a girl! Claire Campbell Muldrow

Movement? Claire is pretty active these days :)

Sleep? Thankfully, I'm able to sleep comfortably. I'm mastered the body pillow, which has been a lifesaver.

Cravings? The past few days, I've been craving cake: Tiffany's bakery pound cake, coconut cake and cupcakes. Unfortunately, I've had none of these things :(

Symptoms? I feel great! I have to get up at least once a night to go to the bathroom, and I've been experiencing some joint pain in my hips and back, but other than that, I feel really good.

What I miss? I miss sleeping on my back, although I typically wake up in that position.

Milestones? Feeling Claire move has been so exciting! I can't wait for Trent to be able to feel her kicks. Shouldn't be too much longer :)

Weight Gain? 8 lbs

What I’m excited about? I'm excited about decorating the nursery and seeing our sweet baby girl at our 20-week ultrasound appointment on Jan. 23.
