Half way done!

How I'm feeling: kind of like a cow but I remember feeling this way last time too. Growing belly, gotta love it. But in truth, I feel very good. I even have some energy which is a bonus for me as a resident.
Fetal movement: every day now!! So fun!
Weight gain: 8lbs
Wearing wedding rings: yep
What I'm most excited for today: a cold beer after a long day again. And holding my new baby of course. :)
What I'm most afraid of today: the added expense of two kids. So much money to daycare and nannies....
Cravings: sweets, this baby is trying to give me diabetes
Stretch marks: nope
Anything make you sick: luckily, no. I wish sweets did.
Miss anything: ultrasounding my baby all the time. One of the perks of being in the business was being able to look at this little peanut regularly. Now that I could accidentally spy gender, I've had to stop. Sad for me, but look at my self control!!

                                  From now:

                                    From violet:

18 weeks and growing

How I'm feeling:  today, tired, but that's probably because I worked overnight on Saturday and didn't sleep great Sunday. No other problems though. Hard to believe I'm almost half way done!
Fetal movement: lots, daily. Its so fun! Scott even felt a little kick the other night. This is my favorite part of pregnancy- all the movement is just the coolest feeling.
Weight gain so far: 7lbs
Wearing my weddings rings: yes
What I'm most excited for today: Baby snuggles. They are the BEST!
What I'm most afraid of today: preterm labor
Cravings: still on the sweets train...
Stretchmarks: no
Anything make you sick: not currently
Miss anything: not really this week. I forgot about the pooch you develop before the baby bump- the part where you just look fat instead of pregnant. Not my favorite...

Head below, with a hand right by it. Baby was measuring 9 ounces this week. This kiddo's getting big already. I also resisted the temptation to look while a co-resident scanned me, pretty proud of myself!
