Week 18

We are almost half way there! Time is just flying by and the pregnancy is feeling more real everyday.  We have had some very exciting things happen in the last 2 weeks.  I can finally feel the little one moving around!  They call them flutters but they feel more like bubbles popping on my belly. At first, I could feel them every now and then, but these week they have become pretty regular. Baby is very active in the mornings and in the evenings!  We have also started painting the nursery.  It was a tough paint decision but we finally choose a neutral light gray color that can work for both a boy or a girl.  I will have pictures when it is completely finished.

Brad has also been hard at work building our backyard fence.  It has been tough due to the huge rocky bluff our house is built on, but he has pulled through, with the help of his dad, uncle and brother and has it almost complete. The fence is going to be wonderful for the dogs and me, especially when baby comes!  Thank you hubby, for building it!

It seems, especially when I look at pictures, that I am looking more and more pregnant everyday. Ya!!! I've got the baby bump! Next post at 20 weeks, we will know, is it a boy or is it a girl?!? We cannot wait to find out!

*Maternity Clothes: A must!

*Sleep: Can't make it through the night without getting up at least once :(

*Stretch Marks: M.I.A., thank goodness!

*Best Moments of the week: Feeling the flutters of the little one. He/She is really in there!

*Miss Anything: Being able to do things I used to without getting exhausted at the end of the day. 

*Food Cravings: Strawberries and peaches

*Anything making you queasy or sick: Oh, the heartburn is still around!

*Have you started to show yet: Yes, belly is there

*Gender: We should find out in two weeks. 

*Belly Button in or out: in

*Wedding Rings on or off: on

*Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, but moody when not feeling well. 

*Looking forward to: knowing if the baby is a boy or a girl.  

*How's the hubs: He is doing great! He has been very busy working on the fence and making it look perfect.  He is such a hard worker. It has been incredible hot the past few weeks and he's still out there after work and on the weekends trying to finish it.  I'm sure he's looking forward to a weekend at the lake for some R&R!
