oh baby | eighteen weeks

how far along? | 18 weeks 

due date: january 14, 2016


baby’s size | baby is the size of a sweet potato |  5.6 inches and 6.7 ounces 


gender | a boy!! 


feeling | overall, so good!! starting to love being pregnant – yay!! 

maternity clothes | so far i don’t need to wear them but have purchased a few and loved the pants when i tried them on – so comfortable. 

workouts | walks on the beach! 

sleep | much better than last week! i think the baby loves the salt air <3 


cravings | just lots of ice cold water


movement | sunday, august 9, was a very special evening. mr. monaco and i both had our hands on my belly when i felt baby boy do a real kick! mr. monaco couldn’t feel it, but it was the most evident movement so far! throughout this week, i have felt him more and more … i think baby boy loves the beach like his mom and dad. 

fun facts | he is yawning, hiccuping, sucking, and swallowing. he’s twisting, rolling, punching, and kicking, too. 
my view yesterday- ‘i see skies of blue and clouds of white’

miss anything | red sangria! 

best moment of the week | feeling the baby kick! loved it- so much. 
looking forward to | our ultrasound next week i can’t wait to see him! the last time we saw him {at eight weeks} he looked like a little shrimp! 

next appointment | next week!!!

    My husband was able to feel his little girl for the first time on Father's day, and I think the look on his face was the most precious thing ever.
