Week 18: Sweet Potato


Source

I was so proud of myself for actually posting this in week 18.  Then I forgot to hit post yesterday.  So pretend you saw it yesterday.  haha

How far along: 18 weeks

Total weight gain: 7 pounds.

Maternity clothes:  Except when I am in PJ's or scrubs.

Stretch marks: Not any new ones that I didn't have from Kai.

Sleep:   Not particularly well.

Best moment of this week: Going to the pumpkin patch with Destructo and my hubby finally coming home.  I hate when he is out of town traveling.

Miss anything: My back not hurting and Advil.  I really really miss Advil.  Yeah still the same.  I caught myself staring longingly at the bottle last night.  My midwife referred me for physical therapy for my back and hopefully this and the chiro I am seeing will help me to not be in so much pain all the time.

Movement:  Some.  Still very light and I can go all day without feeling him.  Occasionally if I bend over and squish him he gives a good hard jab.

Food cravings:  None this week. 

Have you started to show yet: Yes and I am carrying this boy slightly different than I did Kai.

Gender: Bouncing baby boy. 

 Labor signs: No

Belly button in or out: In  but getting more and more shallow.

Wedding rings on or off: On you know the two times a week I remember to put them on.

 Happy or moody most of the time:  A bit moody this week.  My mind just keeps racing about all the things I need/want to get done before this baby comes and it stresses me out.

Looking forward to:  My friend from Italy coming in for a visit.

More and More Destructoisms

Him and Mr. Destructo were fighting over who got to feel the baby moving.  Mr. Destructo said "Son I made that baby.  I can feel him whenever I want."  Destructo replied "Daddy God made dat baby.  I can feel him whenever I want."  I laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants.  You know which wouldn't take much while pregnant.

My grandma told him if he ripped his lovey in two we would have to throw it out.  He replied "Gigi can't throw trash on the innerstate."  Oh so true since we were driving down the interstate at the time.

While playing with a Little People set I had when I was a kid, he said "Baby Lee Lee save da people"  Apparently there was a big fire and he and Liam were fire fighters.

He is a bunny rahrah all the time now and hops everywhere we go.  Until he turns into a whale and does flips in the tub slinging water everywhere.

I very well might have scarred him for life by letting him watch Land Before Time.  He sobbed like crazy when the momma died in it.  I then cried along with him dang pregnancy hormones.  I never realized he was perceptive enough to understand all that.  Then he asked what happened to him if me and Mr. Destructo died.  Nothing like telling your two year old that he would be raised by your sister and her husband.

He is still very much obsessed with fire fighters and fire trucks.  In fact, he is going as a fire fighter for Halloween and his big boy room is going to be fire truck theme.

Anytime I say anything hurts, he kisses it better and asks me "Bettah momma?"  Melts my heart.

He says " I always be your baby momma?"  I think he is worried knowing a new baby is coming.  Sweet boy.

He tried to elicit extra treats and snacks out of us by picking, eating his snack, but then telling us he didn't pick that one and he hates that one.  I hate him saying hate.  Good try Destructo but it isn't going to work.

He likes fighting with his daddy doo (as he calls him) and then throwing his Hulk hands across the room and yelling "I WIN!!!"

He was horrified that I was feeding his precious baby Lee Lee out of a bottle because milk comes from boobies.  I had to explain that only Liam's mommy could breastfeed him.

He is obsessed with green dinosaurs and has a green dinosaur hat that he likes to run up and chomp people with.  The day we got it, he threw himself face down on the sidewalk and pretended to eat grass.  Apparently he was an herbivore that day.

After taking his temp the other day, I told him he had no fever.  He said "Hoo hooo no fevah.  No more germies."  He doesn't like germs because they keep him away from his beloved science center.  But what he doesn't understand is if he would quit putting the fake food in his mouth there, he would get far less germs.

He breaks into song when we are going places.  It is always "We going to (insert where we are going here) times there all day long."

He pretends to be a baby all the time since my nephew was born and has the most annoying newborn like cry.  I have four and a half more months before I need to hear that.  :)
