18 Weeks Pregnant!



Almost half way done!!! Can you believe it!? It's blowing my mind lol and I am starting to freak out a little bit at my lack of motivation!! i just started to get back on thenest.com on the 2nd trimester board, hoping that I will start to be interested in finding bedding and cribs and furniture and strollers and what not!! I'm pretty much praying that motivation will bite me in the butt after I find out the sex of this little one... which is only 15 days and a wake up away:):):) We shall see!

I've still been a little sick, the past three days have been vomit free! I have developed motion sickness though lol! It seems like every time I drive I get nauseous:( But as long as I'm not throwing up I'm ok with it!! I'm still not eating very much. Someone actually told me that they were surprised I wasn't eating everything in sight... I didn't know if that was an insult or not so I just blew it off! I figured I would have a stronger appetite by mow too but other than the occasional craving, I'm pretty much having to force the food down:/

The baby is moving a lot. I haven't noticed a consistent pattern or anything like that, it's just every few days I'll feel him playing around in there for a good 20 minutes or so:) It really is amazing! I just lay back and hold my stomach and look forward to the day my fat stretches out enough to be able to feel his kicks from the outside! I can't wait for my family to be able to experience that with me and to be able to "interact" with the baby!!

Thomas is doing very well!! He is busy, busy, busy! He e-mailed me last night and he is doing 3 jobs on top of his regular job right now! He joked about wishing he has just "pretended to be incompetent" so he wouldn't have all the extra work... he does get the exact same pay either way!! But that all just goes to show how well he is doing over there and how much they need and appreciate his hard work!! Every time we talk we talk about our vacation we're planning to Florida in July! It has been so long since we've had a vacation together and I dream about laying next to him on a white powder beach almost every night!! It is going to be so amazing to raise this little baby with him! He is such a wonderful man!!

Now that I'm done rambling... I will leave you to the Fun Facts about Baby Whitten that I know you love soooo much!! A new belly picture will be up by Friday!!
