Bumpdate: 18 Weeks

Wow, it's been a while since I've done a bumpdate! And can I say, I feel like I've grown a good bit! I'm going to arrive back to Korea and Steve is going to be SO surprised by the little bump on my belly that's developed!

So here I am with an 18 Week Bumpdate!



How far along: 18 weeks

Due Date: January 1st, 2016

Baby is the size of: Sweet Potato 

Symptoms: Hungry ALL of the time. No specific cravings. I'll just get something in my mind and won't stop thinking about it, until l I get it. Then it's over. I feel cramps and tinges if it's been a long day and I've been on the go. 

Gender: Boy!!

Name: Ryder Earon de Leon (RED) 

Movement: He is kicking early! He is still sitting pretty low, but I can feel kicks on the inside and a few on the outside. He usually stops anytime I try to put my hand on my belly though. I feel him most when I am resting before bed at night. 

Nursery: It's still a BIG mess. We have a ton of little girl stuff to sell in an upcoming yard sell, but I've bought a TON of things to bring back and get started when I return to Korea! Upcoming post on my nursery inspiration. 

Maternity Clothes: Oh yes! I've visited Motherhood Maternity/Target and stocked up. I can still fit in some dresses and one pair of non-maternity shorts, but I'm so much more comfortable in my maternity clothes now. 

Sleep: I'm sleeping good when Sadie does. She's had trouble sleeping while traveling, so I've been up with her. But otherwise I get up to pee one time a night. 

Best Moment This Week: Feeling little kicks is so wonderful right now. 

Missing Anything: I thought I would miss wine more. But I had a couple sips of my mom's the other night and it was enough to satisfy my taste for it. Mostly, Sadie and I just miss Steve right now and we can't wait to see him next week! 

Cravings/Aversions: No Aversions. Food is my friend. 

Health/Exercise: I'm working hard to stay on track with healthy eating 80% of the time. I've also been working out 3-4 times a week. I try to get in an upper body workout, lower body workout, yoga, and walking. 

Mood: Hormones are still going a little crazy at times. I feel like I'm happy most of the time, but I have my moments and will break down crying at silly things. 

Husband: He has been great! He is always supportive. I miss him SO much! 

Looking Forward To: Seeing Steve next week; However, I am NOT looking forward to our flight back.
