Halfway there!!!!
Today i'm 20 weeks. It's still very crazy to think that there is another human inside me. He or she is moving all the time. It's so weird to feel that sensation. Even though I havent gained a lot of weight, I feel sooooo big and the funny thing is is that i'm going to get much bigger. ugh. I just cant imagine. Every week I get an update on the progress of the baby and this week it says :
Baby's now the size of a cantaloupe!Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had via amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you'd like your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.
My kid will LOVE macaroni and cheese:). Also we go tomorrow for the midway ultrasound where they catch everything from head to toe and also find out the sex of the baby. I cant wait to start calling it by name instead of little one. Well i'm sure i'll post again this weekend to say what the the baby is . :)

18 weeks!!
Week and Day: 18 weeks
Belly button in or out: still in but it's starting to come to the surface
Wedding rings on or off: on still no change
Food cravings: Just about anything dairy and mexican
Food aversion: Spaghetti
Nausea: No more nausea (knock on wood)
Energy level: I am still tired all the time
Weight gain: At my last doctors appt I had gain 5 pounds
Mood: Kind of moody lately. I can still cry at anything.
Maternity clothes: I still have 2 pair of pants that I can still fit into, all the rest are maternity pants. I go back and forth on the shirts bc i can still fit into regular shirts
Size of the baby: Baby's now the size of a sweet potato! I'm also the size of a dinner fork and weigh as much as 3 large eggs
Changes in baby: Baby's become amazingly mobile (compared to you, at least), passing the hours yawning, hiccupping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking, and swallowing. And baby is finally big enough that you'll soon be able to feel her movements. (and I can feel the movements now) :)
Other: It's so neat to be able to feel this baby move inside of me. I try to see if steven and feel it too sometimes. Also we find out what we are having on April 22nd. :)
