Pregnancy Journal: 18 Weeks



The last 4 weeks have flown by!  For the most part, I have felt really great since my last pregnancy post.  My baby bump inflates and deflates depending on what I have eaten over the previous 48 hours.  To prove the extent of this theory I measured myself before bed one night and again the next morning.  I was a full inch and a half bigger the night before!  My nurse pointed out that I have gained 5 lbs since my last appointment.  I'll blame it on the delicious hamburgers and fries we ate for dinner last night.  Maybe the chocolate chip cookies we baked afterwards made the difference.  Oh well!

I have started to feel our sweet baby boy moving around!  It is truly an amazing feeling.  I can feel him just a couple times at night before I go to bed.  It definitely helps me go to sleep with a smile.  Every night before bed Caroline gets my pregnancy book and looks at the picture of how big her baby brother is and rubs my belly talking about how she wants to hold him.  I hope she will stay this sweet when he gets here!

All this talk about food is making my stomach growl.  I think I need a cookie!
