How Far Along: 18 weeks (and 5ish days)
Size of baby: A Sweet Potato
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I am tempted to remove this item (there is a very long history with me and weight that I have overcome, I have anxiety and fears that pregnancy will make the history rear its ugly head!) Still debating... Today I will say I am up 4 pounds.
Gender: We WILL find out January 23rd (that is MONDAY!) ... Due to some possible complications/ having to deliver early. I want to be AS prepared as I can be - so finding out feels like this will help me be ready whenever BW is born.

Movement: YES, flutters and a few definate kick/punches ... Husby is DYING to feel BW move. Come on baby - kick/punch daddy.
What I miss: At this moment I feel bad for complaining about anything, but already being put on moderate bedrest - TAKE IT EASY per Drs orders. I just miss walking, running, doing my barn chores etc etc ... I guess my normal routines - It will be worth it in the end though ;)
Sleep: Still not sleeping great. I can fall asleep early but then I wake up and cannot go BACK to sleep ...

Symptoms: Well at the drs they told me the "ligament pain" I thought I was feeling is ACTUALLY contractions :( Boo! Too soon for those. On moderate/take it easy bedrest at the moment, possibly having a cerclage placed OUCH! Will know more after Dr's appt Monday - I believe.
Cravings: Still LOVING Ice water, Ice, Italian Ice - Really anything that will quench my undying thirst... Food is still not appetizing. I am able to eat more consistently now though -
Notes: My husby and I counted up like 10 friends/family members that are expecting babies this summer! INSANE, that doesnt count ALL of the bloggers that are expecting. 2012 sure is a GREAT year to have a baby :) Glad I am going through it with everyone this time and not watching from the outside like in 09 when everyone I knew had babies!
Best Moments this week: Being able to STOP the contractions! Deciding we are going to find out what BW is, girl or boy :)
What we are looking forward to: Planning the nursery, SEEING BW on the screen on Monday! Deciding on names ... Finding out how to keep BW in as LONG as possible ...
