I was VERY crampy on the left side the past two days.  A good RLP this morning on the right.  Guess things are growing in there.

Not sure if I have the start of a stomach thing, or just the lack of regular pooping, or what but I couldn't move off the toilet for like 30 minutes today.  I didn't even think I'd make it to work today.  Good thing we had a 2 hour delay!

Still reeling.  I cannot believe it finally happened!  It was an amazing game, the way a Superbowl game should go!!!!  Crazy.  My favorite commercial was definitely the Giants Dirty Dancing!

New/Interesting/Festering Symptoms
My hips and legs have started to ache all night while sleeping. I also get uncomfortably full really fast but hungry again an hour later. 

Appointments/US this week
none until Valentine’s Day!

Random Questions
anyone else find their stomach to be really hard sometimes and totally soft other times? I know it depends where baby is sitting, etc. But I guess (FTM) I wasn’t expecting it this early?

Rants/Raves
my rant is that my man seems super uninterested when I try to talk to him about new things (feeling small movements etc). But at the same time he’s the one in a hurry to set up crib and be prepared? Maybe he just can’t relate but I need some consistency!! Lol. My rave is that I’m actually starting to feel movements. Light, fleeting, sometimes not sure if they’re there or I made it up but exciting none the less!!

@rangey1234 Totally normal to have a hard belly sometimes and soft others. It could be from gas, poop, too much food, salt, etc etc etc. As you get bigger, it will become harder more of the time and you'll experience Braxton Hicks, which makes it very hard. One thing you'll learn is that your bump can change shape and size from hour to hour or morning to night or day to day. Crazy! Also, your SO not seeming interested is also super normal. Guys don't really 'get it' until much later, and sometimes not even until the baby is born. I saw my H go through some weird emotions that I didn't understand but realized it was him dealing with this change in his own way. Remember, they aren't thinking about this 100% of the time like we are since they aren't the ones who are pregnant! 

How far along today? How big is baby? 18 weeks - Nintendo controller

New/Interesting/Festering Symptoms RLP all along the bottom of my stomach. Ironically my weekly email said I should be experiencing exactly that, so I'm not worried. Just need to drink more water. 

Appointments/US this week 18 week appointment this morning that went well. Cervix check this afternoon. 

Random Questions Nope. 

Rants/Raves Get to confirm the sex of the baby for sure today. Two weeks ago the tech said she was pretty sure it's a girl but I haven't let myself start day dreaming of dresses just yet. Today I find out with confidence and can go from there. 

ARE YOU A FREAKING HAPPY EAGLES FAN LIKE ME?!  DID YOU WATCH THE GAME?  What was your favorite part of the game, and/or your favorite commercial?   Hahaha! I'm a freaking happy Packers fan that the Pats dynasty is OVER! Talk about winner fatigue. Gah it got soooo old seeing and hearing about Tom Brady and the Pats. Don't get my wrong, Brady is arguably one of the greatest athletes of all time (and this coming from a die-hard Packers fan with a history of GOATs), but enough already. I'm definitely happy for the Eagles fans and have family in Philly who are stoked. Eagles fans have always been kind to us Cheeseheads (well, as nice as Eagles fans can be...  ) so I'm happy for you. Not sure about the commercials. I feel like I was constantly confused while watching them, which isn't how you should feel after seeing ads.

@Kenya715 thanks! That definitely
makes me feel better. I just thought it wouldn’t happen until further along I guess!

have fun at your appt today!!! it’s so exciting finding out for sure! I get to confirm mine on Valentine’s Day but was told last time she was fairly confident it was a girl!

My appetite is just non existent. It been like this basically the whole time but it’s getting old. Nothing sounds good ever. I get hungry a couple times a day but have such a hard time eating. Complete opposite from my pregnancy with DS.

I’ve been slacking on housework for uh... this entire last month.... and I finally got the ambition to clean up my kitchen. It took me almost 2 hours, and I can’t wait for DH to come home and dump his shit everywhere/show no appreciation like usual.

Lol. I’m so glad your team won! I’m from Buffalo and I know everyone here hate the patriots (Brady) with a passion, but I’m not a football person. My favorite part of the game was honestly the food (even though I’m having a hard time eating). I skipped lunch and ate a whole piece of pizza! and some bread and dill dip- veggies, and some kind of cupcake dip. Literally the most I’ve eaten in months. Maybe I’m turning a corner!?

I am happy the eagles won! Was definitely rooting for the underdogs. My favorite part of the game was not owing $25 to my step dad who I bet the patriots wouldn't win. I didn't get to watch too much of the game/commercials as EVERYONE wanted to talk to me about being pregnant and baby, etc. My parents friends got me this adorable Raiders onesie which I can't wait to have for next season.

@babygagnon2018 I would think as Jets fan you'd be super compassionate and understanding, knowing how hard it is to get to the Superbowl and WIN it!!!!!

@paytonpedro I hope your appetite comes back soon!  You're probably sick of hearing "you have to eat, even if you're not hungry" because I know I would be, but it is true.  I hope you're definitely turning a corner!

@rachelsogo I agree on the drinking thing!  I had a couple of sips here and there, but definitely not the same!

@Kenya715 good luck today!!!  

@rangey1234 what Kenya said.  Why did you miss the game?

bearmomma1

@WorkinWeezel I had a few sips here and there as well. Definitely not the same.

same rant I always have. Finding a house is so stressful! The ones we like get scooped up super fast, otherwise there are super crappy houses or crazy expensive houses.

Didn’t watch any of it! I like football, but don’t really care about either team.

I still don't know that what I'm feeling is the baby. What did it feel like for you at this stage if you're a stm?

My a1c came down to 5.6 from an 8 at beginning of pregnancy.

ARE YOU A FREAKING HAPPY EAGLES FAN LIKE ME?!  DID YOU WATCH THE GAME?  What was your favorite part of the game, and/or your favorite commercial?  

I am not a huge football person, but my baby's father is and he strongly dislikes the pats.. and from what I have watched I was sick of seeing Tom Brady being bragged on. So I was rooting for the underdogs and was really happy the Eagles won.

@hayhay93 I’m 18+3 today and I have an anterior placenta. I’ve been feeling little jabs only on my left side and low down, more in the left side. It feels like gas bubbles moving. If I lay on my left, I can feel it stronger. With DS, I felt more movement and all over my belly. It was also stronger by 19 weeks. Within the next couple weeks, I’m sure you’ll be feeling undeniable movement!!

hayhay93

I have been feeling little flutters for the past couple of weeks but I'm just never sure if it's really the baby! Thank you for your input!
It sounds kind of like what you're talking about! I'm not sure what type of placenta I have though.
