18 Weeks

18 weeks update: definitely feeling pretty good still for the most part! I have noticed lately that when I sneeze, I get a quick jab or pain along my sides and have been told that's from the round ligament pain and that my muscles and hips/abdomen are stretching and preparing for extra growth and labor already. I've still been trying to eat as healthy as possible and get out on a daily walk when it's nice enough for that. Otherwise, I've been doing some yoga and making sure I always take the stairs up and down at the hospital when I'm working and avoid the elevator at all costs. I'm only up 6.5 pounds so far and am still wearing all of my regular clothes....but I can tell some of my pants are getting pretty snug. Thank god for low riding pants otherwise they would all need to be retired by now I'm sure! I also have started to adjust to sleeping on my side and have found that having a pillow between my legs and up by my hips helps keep me comfortable too! My face seems to want to be breaking out again which is frustrating too....where is this pregnancy glow that everyone always talks about?!! 

In other news, I had a successful week doing some thrifting and garage saleing last week and scored quite a few awesome things! Lots of gender neutral sleepers, onesies, other cute outfits, and some books...Tons of items still had tags on them and were brand new too! Extra bonus! I have a list of garage sales that I'm going to be hitting up this weekend and I'm hoping to find some good deals again so I can start to get Peanut stocked up on some essentials while saving a lot of money!

the start to Peanut's closet and library...
all of this for a mere $15!!!
the baby bathrobe and winter bundle up outfit are so cute it hurts....
