Baby Zin: 18 Week Bumpdate

Hi friends. I know this bumpdate is a bit late but that’s because we just got home from vacation yesterday! I am planning on doing a vacation recap also, maybe either later this week or early next week so be on the look out for that 🙂.


Size of the Baby: An artichoke – about 5.59 inches long.

Total Weight Gain: 6lbs.

Gender: We find out this Monday!! I’m still leaning more towards girl though. I will be surprised if it’s a boy.

Symptoms: A few uncomfortable symptoms this week. I had leg cramping one night when I woke up in the middle of the night. I had a gum issue, where my gums in one spot were just really swollen and took so long to get better. I was also a lot more tired this week than usual. I took a nap a lot of days, probably because of all the walking I did on vacation though.

Movement: Still unsure. I can’t wait until I can feel baby move!

Sleep: Sleep was a bit rough for me this week. I had a doctor’s appointment this week and I asked him when I had to stop sleeping on my back and he told me now! This made it much harder to sleep the rest of the week because anytime I would get uncomfortable I would just lay on my back and fall asleep. I had to get used to sleeping only on my side, which was an adjustment. But my pregnancy pillow really helped with that and is now a very prized possession of mine, haha!

Missing: I don’t think anything this week.

Exercise: We walked at least 3 miles every day in Wildwood so I’m totally counting that as working out!

Tommy is: getting more and more excited as time goes on.

Looking Forward To: Our anatomy scan this Monday!!

Best Moments: Definitely being at the beach, relaxing with my husband 🙂.
