18 weeks and getting a Big Baby Bump!

Wow! There's that baby bump! Ok I may have been sticking it out a bit!
Yay for a bump! And some light colored clothing that really show it off!
Baby Stats: Baby is the size of a Sweet Potato or a Dragon Fruit, or a Bell Pepper... depending on what website you use! About 5.59 in long and 6.70 oz.
How Far Along: 18 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +1 lbs
Maternity clothes: Definitely wearing some maternity clothes now! Thank you for all the tips for good places to shop! I ordered some things from Old Navy's maternity section and I'm super happy with them! Comfortable, super cute, and they actually fit me! yay! I'm actually wearing an Old Navy Maternity top and jeans in the above pictures!
Stretch marks: Nope! Still keeping them away with Palmer's!
Sleep: This last week I think I got much better sleep! But I'm still super tired! I guess I'll just have to get use to that!
Best moment this week: Lots of time spent with family! Saturday we had Adam's family over at our house to celebrate Aaron's Birthday and Michelle's (Adam's cousin) family being in town from AZ! It was a house full and we had a blast! And then Sunday we went over to my Aunt and Uncle's house for some good fall fun carving pumpkins! Also a great time!Oh and at some point this week I think my baby bump really popped! I suddenly really look pregnant!

Miss Anything: Same ol same ol really, caffeine, some spiked apple cider would have been nice this weekend, and my turkey sandwiches... but it seems like the further into this I get the less I miss those things.
Movement: No! And I'm really trying to focus to see if I can feel Baby A! We've started a weekend  tradition of waking up and playing a little Journey on the iPhone to see if we can get the baby dancing! If Don't Stop Believing doesn't do it... well I guess this baby just isn't ready to be felt yet!
Food Cravings: Still loving the oranges... but thats about it... I'm wondering when the real cravings will hit!?
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope, still doing pretty good with this! Now if someone could just stop the headaches!
Have you started to show yet: Yes! This week seems to be the week I really "popped". Some clothes still hide it but there is no denying I have a baby bump!
Gender prediction: Dunno! But I'm sticking with boy until we find out for sure on November 12th! If you want to take a guess check out this link! http://www.expectnet.com/games/BabyABoyorGirl
Labor signs: I hate this question at this point... Nope! Still praying those are a long way away!
Belly Button in or out: In
Wedding Rings on or off: On
Happy or Moody: Staying pretty happy. Although I do feel those mood swings every once in a while!
Looking forward to: Feeling our baby move! Hoping one of these mornings I'll feel the baby dancing to some Journey... or country... or  hip hop? Maybe some Adele!? I don't care! Dance baby dance! And of course 2 weeks until we hopefully know what Baby A is! Nope not a monkey! A boy or girl!!! Hopefully this little one isn't shy!

Have a great week!
