Maternity clothes: Um…yes. I have finally said goodbye to my work khakis. Some of my “fat” jeans are giving me a few more weeks though.
Stretch marks: None. Here’s hoping this lasts.
Sleep: Awful! This week I have developed back pain…so much back pain.
Best moment this week: So much movement! This lil’ babe has been fluttering around in there non-stop and I couldn’t be happier.
Miss anything?: Caffeine
Movement: Yes!

It gets more and more exciting as the weeks pass. Its been 18 weeks, and I'm sure you're so excited to see your baby. Anyway, have you talked to your ob/gyne or to your midwife about the appropriate exercise routines that you can do? I do hope you'll ask them for some advice once you schedule a visit. 🙂
