18 Weeks

How far along? 18 Weeks

Baby is the size of: A Mango

Maternity clothes? My shirts and jeans still fit; just not my dress pants

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep:  I have been sleeping more than before! I have to take a nap now after work.

Best moment this week: I took the IntelliGender and it said I was having a... boy!!! I officially find out on Easter though. One of my preggo buddies took the IntelliGender as well and it told her that she was having a boy and it was accurate for her; her ultrasound confirmed it. Has anyone else tried the IntelliGender?  

Miss Anything? Nope not really

Movement: I hear some weird noises in my tummy; I assume it’s the baby.

Food cravings: The other night after dropping off my parents I went a little crazy I had to have a Strawberry- Kiwi Snapple ( I drove my hubby crazy; sorry babe the baby wanted it J) It was 10:30pm and we went to 3 different stores until the 4^th one had it!

Gender: Everything says am having a boy; IntelliGender, Babyman.net; and the Chinese Calendar so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that its true.  

Labor Signs: Nope

Symptoms: If I sit for too long without standing up my side starts hurting. Baby Loredo loves to be active.

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? It still fits

Happy or Moody most of the time: For the most part happy unless I’m hungry than psycho Paola comes out, lol!

Looking forward to: Easter! 


One of my co-workers shared this picture with me and I thought it was pretty interesting, so I wanted to share it.

Pregnancy Update

Yesterday I started having this uncomfortable/annoying pain on my lower right side (kind of by my belly button and the lower part of my tummy) it started about 1ishpm and didn’t go away until about 5pm. At first I thought oh no biggie it will go away but it didn’t L so I called my doctor and spoke with the nurse and they told me it could be Braxton Hicks, or I could be dehydrated, she told me I could come in if that would make me feel better so I did.  Didn’t want to take any chances since this is my first time being preggo J I went in and I saw my nurse practitioner. Turns out everything is normal and the reason that I was feeling that was because my ligaments are stretching L  and I feel it more on my right side because the baby is on that side. Thank God it was nothing major. The nurse told me she wished she could tell me its going to get better but its not it will only get worse!  Anyway I go back to the doctor on Thursday for my normal visit so I’ll post my weekly progress with pictures on Thursday!
