18 weeks and the name is...

Jackson James Holmes

Baby Boy's name is JACKSON!!

After a lot of debating and searching we somehow just started calling him Jackson and it stuck! Jamie called the baby Jackson all week on our honeymoon so this is it! And NO his name is not JJ I hate that name!! He will be called Jackson if you must give him a nickname you can call him Jack.

How far along? 18 weeks

Total weight gain:

 7 pounds total (after 5 days of pigging out on vacation I’d say that’s good!) I am suppose to start gaining a pound a week now. 

Maternity clothes? 

Mix of both

Stretch marks? 

none that I know of!

Sleep: 

Most of the time great! Sometimes really bad back pain and crazy dreams

Best moment this week: 

 Hearing the heartbeat again! And buying the crib!

Miss Anything? 

Alcohol. Hello a vacation with no booze that was tough! 

Movement: 

I’m feeling more and more!

Food cravings: 

Sweet tea. Fruit. Milk. Pralines from Savannah..

Anything making you queasy or sick: 

Lettuce, sprite, chicken, food textures, food smells

Gender: 

BOY!

Labor Signs:

No

Symptoms: 

BACK PAIN! All the walking around in Savannah was not good on my back. And I’m HOT all the time. Over heating kinda of hot. And I am always cold so this is so weird.

Belly Button in or out? 

In for now

Wedding rings on or off? 

On getting tighter when I get really hot..which seams to be all the time these days 

Have you started to show yet?

Yes! I started telling my kiddos parents at work and 3 said they had been wondering. It still looks like fat which is a bit frustrating. The doctor laughed at me when I said that. Supposably baby boy is suppose to move up to my belly button in 2 weeks, I’m hoping that helps. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: 

HAPPY!!! :))) 

Looking forward to: 

Calling the baby by his name! And the next ultrasound!
