Pregnancy Notes : 18 weeks

Building Your Makeup Collection: Part 2
I did not know what kind of “pregnant gal” I’d be. I would have assumed that I would be crazy research lady who wouldn’t take a step before researching it.

Turns out, I’m much more chill than I thought I would be. And for that, I am grateful.  (I wrote a little about why in this post)

I also thought I would feel compelled to blog more about this little baby but I simply haven’t. I don’t really know why. It could be because I talk about it with my clients and friends during the day. . .who knows.

But, in an effort to write a bit more about this joyous chapter of my life, I shall embark on a post about this pregnancy. I’m not going to commit to anything weekly or monthly quite yet, but let’s just say I’ll share a little bit more about what’s going on here on the small things blog. AFTER ALL, this is the smallest thing I’ve had yet so. . . it’s only fitting.

18 weeks

Let’s reflect on the first trimester, shall we?

That was a rough one. I did not anticipate it to be as hard as it was. I was knocked flat out for a few weeks. Scrounging on crackers, grapes and ginger ale. It was a tough chapter. I also think my hormones took quite a drastic turn and I found myself feeling quite blue. It was weird. But, after the 8 week appointment, and the prescription for Zofran, I began to perk up again.

Frequent vomiting didn’t hit until about week 12/13. And didn’t end until week 16. The nausea was more annoying than anything. And I’m glad I’ve passed that phase.

I began to feel even more like myself during week 17. And last thursday (17.5 weeks-ish), I felt the baby move.

I was sitting at the salon, between clients, and I felt this little movement in my belly. It did not feel like a butterfly at all. I had been waiting for the butterfly feeling that everyone told me I would feel. . .and this felt like a tiny worm wiggling against the inside of my belly. 

“Was that it?” I thought to myself. I held my hand on my stomach just hoping it would happen again. It didn’t immediately, so I carried on with my day, constantly wondering if tht was it. 

I had similar little feelings on friday, and by friday night I decided that had to be the baby. It was a new feeling, and while it was maybe a tiny bit early for a first pregnancy, I knew it could be nothing else. 

Then yesterday (18 weeks) I continued to feel the baby move occasionally, and at one point in the afternoon there was a strong wiggle that tickled me. It was the coolest feeling. 

I find myself sitting patiently between clients, without the distraction of the phone or computer, to just wait and see if the baby is moving around. I love feeling him/her move.

I cannot wait for my husband, my sister and my family to be able to feel the kicks from the outside. 

I’m experiencing mild back pain after a long day at the salon. And I find that if I sit for too long, I have subtle pain in my diaphragm area. I googled both of these things, and am not concerned about either. I think both are pretty darn normal. There is a lot of changing going on inside me, so things a bound to get pushed around.
I swear this baby is going through a growth spurt or something. So far this week I’ve woken up at 4am on Monday and Tuesday morning with ripping starvation. I trudge downstairs, eat a bowl of cereal and drink a huge glass of chocolate milk, and then go back to bed. Thursday morning I didn’t even make it to 2am before I was awoken with starvation pains. Notice these are not hunger pains. These are starving pains. 

I eat all day, I’m getting plenty of protein, eating snacks (fruit, protein bars, yogurt) between clients. But apparently I need to be eating even more.

I’m very curious about my weight gain ( I don’t own a scale, never have). At my last appointment (14 weeks) I hadn’t gained a pound since my previous appointment (11 weeks), but I was still quite nauseous during those weeks. I hope I’ve gained at least a pound or two! 
We find out the sex next week! For the most part, Justin and I have both felt that it’s a boy (for no reason, just simply a feeling/guess), so I’m anxious to see if we were right or if we were way off! 

What do I hope it is? Either. I feel for the first baby, either gender is exciting. And for the second, if God gives us this gift again, I think there will be stronger feelings of hope for the opposite gender than the first. But on that same note, I loved having a sister, so siblings of the same gender are fine too! 

I feel pretty settled on the names we picked out. We have 1 boy name (first and middle) and 1 girl name (unsure of middle). I haven’t decided if I’ll share the name we choose here or not. . .but I think we probably will. 

I have not bought a single thing for the baby yet. Though I’ve been overwhelmingly blessed  with sweet gifts from friends and clients. I have this little pile in the guest room of baby things. It’s surreal to walk past that room and see the stuff sitting there. I have to remind myself that we’ll have a baby in December that will actually be using those gifts! 

I’m getting very excited about the nursery in the new house. I’m so glad that we are going to own the home that the baby will come home to, only because I can feel really settled and permanent with the nursery. I can hang shelving and paint, without the thought of “well, we may move in a few months so this may have to be packed up. . .”.

I’ve mentioned before that my mom is an incredible interior decorator, so I’m handing practically all the reigns over to her for this new house + the nursery. I’m so grateful that she’s able to help (read: do all the designing/decorating) for her first grandchild! 
That’s all the baby news I have for now! I can’t wait to share our news next week of whether it’s a boy or girl!

Zofran was a life saver during all 3 pregancies! I would be working behind the chair and have to run to the bathroom. I hated having to come back and finish someone’s hair after vomiting! I stayed on it until the end but what a difference it made. You look beautiful and I’m glad you are feeling more “Kate-like”!!

I felt the same way during my first pregnancy, the blues hit me for some reason. I got over them though. You look great and congrats on feeling the baby move, great feeling!

Such exciting times ahead for you! You should set up a baby pool once you get closer and we know the gender. We had a lot of fun doing it for our little boy (Will) who just turned 4 months old!

I’ve heard feeling the baby movement described as a bag of snakes, which sounds really strange but that’s what it feels like for me. The movement and rolling sometimes feels very odd but very exciting at the same time. One of my favorite moments was when I was traveling for work and woke up early and started talking to the baby and it responded by moving to the sound of my voice! It was an amazing feeling and still is, I’m due in 2-3 weeks.

I have a personal blog that I share family stories on and I thought I would blog the hell out of this pregnancy and I haven’t. Its my pregnancy and its very personal to me and I’m just not ready to share everything with everyone else. As a loyal reader, I love getting glimpses into your life but know its also okay to keep some things private for just you.

If the back pain continues to get worse or bothers you, go see a chiropractor. Best thing I did during my pregnancy! Also – your shirt is really cute!

Those aches & pains so early on were what surprised me about pregnancy. I expected it when I had an extra 20 pounds I was hefting around, but I didn’t expect it when I was barely 12 weeks! Enjoy those movements. They only get bigger & better!

still being [molly] says · 07.19.13

yay! so exciting!!! the back pain could be sciatica…. i have had that pretty bad throughout the nine months… it’s no fun. 🙁 but it is definitely going to be totally worth it! you look GREAT, kate!

Silver Lining Decor says · 07.19.13

What an exciting time for you! We have a 2 month old baby, and I will tell you, a baby changes everything and is the most amazing gift. As far as the pains go, I remember feeling so sore in the beginning, but my doc said it was because I was so small that I was feeling everything stretch and grow with the baby. Best wishes!! Look forward to seeing more baby news.

Michelle says · 07.19.13

Feeling them move for the first time is so cool. And you are right, it is like a little wormy wiggle/tickle. Eventually, it will be kicks and pushes that knock the breath out of you. 🙂 I am not very big and my last one (my sweet boy) went from hip bone to hip bone and pelvis up to my rib cage, but sitting low on top of my bladder the whole time. He sat low. And he was strong! Man, it hurt when he would kick or push. My two girls, I carried high. My bladder appreciates that one. It hasn’t been the same since having my sweet boy 6 yrs ago. LOL

Amy Sue says · 07.19.13

I’m sure you are, but make sure you’re drinking lots of water. I would wake up to severe starving pains too that were actually severe dehydration pains. Passing out repeatedly in the batgrrom floor while pregnant is a scary thing. Stay hydrated!
Thanks for sharing this post !

You are too too cute. Don’t worry about not buying anything. We didn’t buy a thing until we found out our twins were girls. Then the shopping sprees started! I felt my girls moving around 15 weeks, and I thought that was super early for a first pregnancy!

If you’re on your feet all day, I’d be getting massages frequently. I get prenatal massages every other week at this point, and it is the BEST thing I have done!

You might want to start tracking your protein, at least loosely. Most women “think” they are getting enough and most def are not. Since you’re growing a little life inside, it would be even more important to know 🙂 It could also help with the waking up starving parts!!

Nicolet says · 07.19.13

Feeling your baby move around is, without a doubt, the coolest feeling ever! I was early with that, too, and unsure, but my doctor assured me that was what it was. I was around 16 weeks when it felt like there was a fish swimming in my stomach. A couple weeks later, I finally felt kicks on the outside of my stomach and at 20 weeks was when our baby gave my husband a good, swift kick! His face at that moment was priceless! It was “real” to me all along, but it finally became “real” to him at that moment and it was so cool.

Get ready for tons of aches and pains! I didn’t mind a single one, but they can be alarming. There’s just SO much going on in your body that stuff shifts to weird places and inevitably discomfort follows. But it’s well worth it and I would have loved to have experienced it over and over. Enjoy!!!

Ashley Rane Sparks says · 07.19.13

SO exciting! I remember feeling little gas bubbles in my tummy right after I had all three of my babies and thinking…”oh, the babies moving” but the baby was already born! It’s hard to let go of that excitement 🙂
Congrats and enjoy!

Congratulations! I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and it has been such an adventure. Looking at your little tummy makes me smile knowing all the joy you have to experience over the next few weeks. Those tiny worm movements will become stronger. Then your husband will not only be able to feel them, but also see the movements from across the room. Enjoy this time and don’t worry about documenting every step of the way. It was my intention to do so but instead I have spent my time IN THE MOMENT enjoying it as much as I can. Congratulations again! I’m excited to find out what you are having! It felt so real after we heard the words “You’re having a boy!”

I was having lower back pain and sciatica starting at 12 weeks with this little one, (I’m 27 weeks), and saw a chiropractor for the first time in my life. It was lovely! But she recommended buying a lower back, maternity support belt. It’s cumbersome, but it helps immensely. I wear it when I’m teaching/ standing all day. I got mine from Motherhood Maternity

Hi there, so excited for you. 🙂 I just wanted to share because I had the wake-up in the middle of the night, starvation pains through out my whole first pregnancy and I didn’t find out until after the fact from my doctor that, that was actually heartburn that I was experiencing. I had no idea that you could feel heartburn anywhere but your heart . . go figure! But it was that super sharp, super painful hunger that gave it away (and often, eating didn’t always cure the pain). I had a safe for pregnancy anti-heartburn pill for my second pregnancy, and it was such a relief! Anyhow, yours could simply be hunger, but just thought I’d pass this on just in case. 🙂

Rhe Christine says · 07.19.13

yay!!! I love it. I didn’t really go overboard on the blogging about my pregnancies either…it was weird. I really thought I would but I didn’t. Oh, and I had the sickies too with most of them so I feel ya there. with the first one I didn’t experience any weight gain for awhile because of it and I was sort of, kinda worried but the doctor definitely persuaded me that the baby will be getting all the nutrients it needs and that I’m normal…lol! I just love all the crazy things that happen to your brain and your body when you’re pregnant. Enjoy!!

oh, and I only gained at the most 20lbs 🙂

Congrats again on your pregnancy, my husband and I had a difficult time conceiving and we are so very blessed to finally have our beautiful little boy (he’s almost 7 months old)! We often have moments where we both break out in tears over all the pain we felt during our journey and now with the joy he brings both of us is a feeling I cannot even describe! I know how much you love monthly subscription boxes, there is one for little ones too…it’s called Citrus Lane, we have only been receiving boxes for a few months now but are in love with the surprise element! Check it out in all your “spare” time!

Oh please think about keeping the names for yourself. Unless you are not bothered by what people say. I’ve had so many friends that told the names they picked and had people just start with the horrible stories of people with this name or that name and totally RUIN the name for them. Some didn’t care and that’s great, but some did and it was really sad.

Experienced mama advice here….keep the names to yourselves as the SURPRISE when the baby is born for the family & friends. AND then you get to avoid EVERYONE…and I mean EVERY-ONE, putting in their 2 cents about what THEY think of the name. You might not think you have anything to worry about, but often times people just don’t realize what they are saying. It’s your baby. And naming him/her is a perk you & Justin get to enjoy! Congrats and enjoy every minute of this gift! You are so cute!

I love reading your blog! And you seriously have such a cute baby bump. 🙂 I have two kids and gained about 30-40 pounds with the first one and she was even 5 weeks early. Yikes. The second one I ended up having gestational diabetes and only gained 17 pounds due to a drastic change in diet.

Enjoy your pregnancy, because before you know it, it will be done (I know, hard to believe at this stage).

Congratulations. The starving pains may actually be heartburn. I had it once and the doctor prescribed me some heartburn medicine and it fixed the problem. The only thing that would work before was to eat. I wasn’t pregnant at the time. I started keeping crackers next to the bed even. I think they used Nexium for me but while pregnant I used Zantac. I would take one daily at night or I would be up all night. Good luck!

Haven’t read all the comments so maybe this is duplicate, but I learned with my first that EGGS are the most complete single source of protein and a GREAT pregnancy food! Eggs eggs eggs! (If you like them…I hope! I do, so that was great news to me!) Think about it – an egg is made to nourish a tiny chick – so its high in nutrients 🙂 I ate tons of scrambled eggs in pregnancy, helped so much. Dried fruit was good too. You look great! So exciting. take care!

I woke up so hungry throughout my pregnancy that I eventually just kept a box of Cheerios next to my bed! My husband would wake up to me shoving Cheerios in my face as quickly as possible so I could get back to sleep before my body realized I had to pee too 🙂 I also always had some sort of snack in my purse. I was even known to make my husband stop at a gas station so I could buy a snack while we were ON OUR WAY to a restaurant. Enjoy 🙂

Ah I am so excited for you!!! I am at week 16 with our first baby and man, it’s definitely exciting. Let me tell you – I felt soo much better reading this post and reading that your vomiting came around week 12 and ended around week 16. I know that women are normally really sick in the beginning and then start to get better around week 12 so I thought I was working backwards or something! Vomiting is definitely not fun and I just can’t wait for it to be over. I am at week 16 now so hopefully mine will go away about now like yours did! That’s so exciting that you have felt your baby moving!!! I read that it’s normally between 16-18 weeks when you feel it for the first time, and smaller frame people might feel it sooner. I felt a “popcorn popping” feeling the other day but I haven’t felt it since so I don’t know if that was baby or not… anyway, congrats again!

Reading this makes me really miss being pregnant, I am sure 38 week pregnant me would slap me for saying that! I miss the second trimester most, feeling those movements are the best. I remember the wiggle worm, it felt like someone brushing the inside with a paintbrush to me, like a little tickle. Wait until they start rolling, it’s a serious trip. My husband had a hard time not feeling my belly anymore after baby was here. He still does in his sleep sometimes, I still rub my now deflated tummy too just by habit. I am so excited for you both. Also mommy instinct is usually right about the gender, even if the dreams are of the opposite of what you think. I shared my daughters name on my blog too and to the whole world, I am not deterred easily either.

I purchase clomid online because my doctor was prescribed me, it’s really very effective medicine. I got pregnant with fraternal twins during the first month of taking it. I had a great pregnancy, a vaginal birth and now i have two very healthy six month old boys.

Heartburn is a very common complaint among pregnant women. Usually, heartburn is not dangerous and will go away after the baby is born. More than half of all pregnant women will experience some form of heartburn during their pregnancy. Heartburn is also known as acid indigestion or acid reflux and occurs when stomach contents come up from the stomach. This causes a burning feeling in the esophagus and chest area and can become quite painful. Sometimes you may even experience a sour, acidic taste in your mouth.

We’ve got to take the bad with the good with pregnancy. Even the worst morning/afternoon/evening/24/7 sickness is all worth it. We read the baby development books to remind ourselves of the awesomeness inside. I just came across this awesome new book called “The Wonder Within You” by Carey Wickersham. It’s an awesome combination of week-to-week pregnancy information, what’s going on with the baby, “Did you know?” plus health advice like this about what to eat, cravings, nutrition, etc, BUT also with awesome 3D/4D pictures and videos you can link or QR with your phone to and see what your baby looks like at each week stage. I wonder if the baby gives a thumbs-up in the videos after you eat the right yummy treat. Even better than the typical week-to-week books, and so personal! It’s got mom stories and even a journal/note section to write your personal memories and letters to your baby. The pregnancy information is as up-to-date as it gets and it’s such a great keepsake. I want to get one for everybody I know who is expecting! Check it out…TheWonderWithinYou.com.

Imran Hussain VAT Fraud says · 03.16.16

A Top Crimebuster Exposed How a Crack Squad were Sent to
Dubai – An Exclusive News
Recently a top crimebuster has revealed the news related to crack squad, which was sent to Dubai.
The main aim was to hunt down the VAT criminals, who were threatening to bankrupt Britain.
According to David Odd, the criminals involved in this carousel fraud took £3.5 billion from taxpayers.
The worst part is that it took them only one year to accomplish
their fraudulent goals.
Assistant Director of HM Revenue and Customs Investigation, Scotland said that his
officials were helping the authorities of other European countries to deal with carousel fraud and it was in fact this cooperation that lead to unearthing of massive
scam in Scotland back in 1990.
The accused claimed VAT on goods, as according to them they imported the goods and then exported them abroad.
The amazing part was that those goods never existed.
No one had an idea that the total scam would cost £3.5 billion in 2006.

David Odd believes if these carousel frauds are not checked on time, it would
lead to Treasury losses that would remain unrecoverable at
large and lead the whole country towards an unavoidable financial crises.

The infamous Imran Hussain, known as Immy from Glasgow,
34 years old man, was also found in connection with the fraudsters.
He is allegedly responsible for a VAT scam of £300 million.
Later on HMRC introduced a verification program to control
VAT repayments claims. A lot of efforts are being made for the efficient control and is expected to reduce the
impact of VAT fraud due to these
