Week 18

We have a sweet potato!!! Yesterday I woke up and looked at my belly (as I was lying on my back) and it was lopsided! Later on in the day it was lopsided on the other side. Lately i've been feeling what I can only imagine is the baby kicking and moving. This morning I swear I felt it with my hand on my stomach. Christian couldn't though. We'll have to wait a bit longer for that.

I've been feeling great. I am getting a bit of a belly and have upgraded to some maternity shorts since my shorts didn't fit anymore. I'm also realizing my shirts are NOT going to last through December. So i've been trying to find more shirts. We are going to work on a picture to post tonight since we try to take them on our weekly marks.

I ordered our baby book a few weeks ago. We received it last week. Today I opened it and looked through it and can't wait to fill it out! I must find an archive pen though to make sure it lasts. Only the greatest.

Yesterday we moved Jake and his room into our old guest room. It's bigger and has more grown up furniture for him to grow with. His room is a great room for the baby and we will be getting rid of his furniture and making room for a crib and changing table! It was fun getting it all situated. Jake even scored a tv out of it. We didn't want him to do something he didn't want and thought a tv may make it a bit sweeter. We're pushovers and he's spoiled. At least we recognize this. He's the first baby. But he also has manners and knows these things are privileges. I wonder if i'm trying to convince myself.

Back to the dr. in two weeks. We will be halfway through! Only 22 weeks to go. That also means there are only about 24 weeks until Christmas. Get on it!
