Week 18:My greased piglet

今天小Qoo 18个星期咯！ 本来每一次我都是在星期一就 update 的，可是上一次的产检发现，小Qoo 的周期好像应该是从星期四算起的，所以我想从今天开始，我就在每个星期四才 update 好了。

前几天都一直在生病，没有胃口所以也没有什么吸收到营养。今天睡醒后，觉得比较舒服了，所以午餐决定起床把之前老公煮给我的面粉糕（汤）弄来吃，因为鼻子还有点塞，所以竟然完全吃不出酸柑的味道，哈哈。。而且可能才大病痊愈，所以也没什么胃口，没有把整碗吃完，唉～～浪费了老公的心血。不过我已经尽量的挤了～哈哈。。。

今天的晚餐呢～ 老公下厨！老公问我想吃什么，我说：煎面粉糕～哈哈哈哈。。。最近突然很想吃煎面粉糕，老公说他也很开心，至少他能做一些让我想吃和喜欢吃的东西～老公，你的煎面粉糕真的很好吃哦！谢谢哦！

WOOHOO! We have two more ounces of amazing baby this week!

Your super-cute uterus hi-jacker is smack in the middle of a growth spurt!

Oh and guess what? They're also all slathered in a greasy, waxy, cheese-like substance known as vernix caseosa.

Yeah, it sounds pretty nasty, but the mixture of fatty secretions covers your little swimmer from head to toe and protects their paper-thin skin from bruising, abrasions, and chapping caused by amniotic fluid exposure.

And then there's the birthing process, right? You know, where you have to push something the size of a watermelon out a hole the size of a grape.

Well, that adorable little greased piglet would have a lot harder time getting through the birth canal if they didn't have that greasy vernix caseosa slip-n-sliding them out of your hyper-extended birth canal.

And how's mom doing?

If it's getting slightly difficult to breathe, you can thank your not-so-small womb-stretching resident for squishing your lungs... and you're not even half-way yet! Ah, the joys of motherhood are already kicking in.Your little break-dancer will take tons of naps during the day, lulled to sleep by the rhythmic motions of your moving body as you go about your day, but once you lay down and relax... yep, that's right, they think it's time for get down with some super-funky moves because mama's boring and quiet

Keep in mind that as your body increases in size you produce more blood (for both of you), which lowers your blood pressure. So, standing up quickly and fast movements may cause slight dizziness or lightheadedness.

If you're constantly light-headed, on the other hand, you may have blood pressure issues, and you should contact your caregiver immediately.

One more fun pregnancy symptom to add to the list: you are now producing more melanin (the stuff that makes you whatever color you are), which can cause dark patches of skin to occur on random parts of your body. Don’t worry, these dark spots (unlike your parents' age spots) will retreat soon after birth.

And now that you're expecting to feel those first kicks any time now, be warned: the poking and kicking isn't as charming during sleeping hours... which is exactly what's going to happen.

Your little break-dancer will take tons of naps during the day, lulled to sleep by the rhythmic motions of your moving body as you go about your day, but once you lay down and relax... yep, that's right, they think it's time for get down with some super-funky moves because mama's boring and quiet!

Look on the bright side: this is nothing compared to all the nights they're going to be waking you with their crying (yes, dear, if you didn't know, infants don't sleep through the night!)
