18 week bumpdate!

I was 18 weeks pregnant on New Years Eve!
Baby R is the size of a mango.

Cravings: Nothing significant. I would say I want fruit more often, which I ate a TON of this week!
Any foods you don’t want: Meat is hard to swallow, litterally! I've never been a meat eater but I've been making an effort while pregnant. It's still not appealing. Hubs has been asking me to take "one more bite" at dinner. Guess he's practicing for having similar dinner conversations with our little one? ;)
Symptoms? Dry skin and thirsty. It is getting a little more interesting getting comfy in bed as well. 
Showing: YES! The bump is undeniable now.
Boy or Girl? We will find out in less than one week! Our baby reveal dinner with family is next Saturday. I can't wait!!! Mostly, we are excited to hear that our baby is healthy on Thursday.
Bought anything? Nothing since the crib and dresser/changing table. We started our registry last weekend! One of my best friends, Gina, got me a beautiful Kate Spade diper bag for Christmas, it's so, so pretty!
Shopping for anything?  Once I know the sex, I'll start getting some things for the nursery.
The Dad to be? He's so excited. He's been rubbing my belly more and more, it's so sweet. He always asks "you ok babes?" when we are out or I've been standing for a while. He reminds me to sit down and take it easy as well. <3
Most recent appointment? 12/21 we had a regular check up/blood work. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat!
Next appointment? This Thursday we have our 20 week ultrasound!!!

Baby Bean-

It's been so neat to feel you moving around in mama's belly. We've been reading you lots of good books and talking to you all the time. We hope you know how much we already love you. Can't wait to see you again this Thursday and see how big you are getting!

Love you to the moon and back!

Mama and Daddy
