18 Weeks

18 weeks and counting! AH! As you can see, I am definitely showing!! I feel as if I started showing the minute we found out we were expecting. In my case, it's true what they say about showing much quicker with your second child!

Time is flyyyying this time around. If the second half of this pregnancy is anything like the first half, baby GIRL will be here before we know it. Unbelievable!! Meanwhile, we have been so busy! We went on a ski trip week before last with Eric's family and had a great time. I was told by my Dr that I could ski as long as I was "smart about it". So I did! But only on the bunny slope and a couple green slopes. I went down slow and easy and had a wonderful time. I only threw up one time while on vacation so I think I'm finally rounding the corner. Hopefully the naseau will stop completely any day now! This little girl is putting me through the ringer.

On another note - I can feel her kicking or punching or moving now!! I've been feeling tiny "thumps" for the past 2-3 weeks, but nothing consistent. Now she moves all the time! It's such a wonderful feeling. I'd forgotten how many smiles a day each movement can bring :) Eric hasn't felt her yet - but I think it's just a matter of timing. I can feel her with my hand from the outside every now and then so hopefully Eric and Weston will feel her with their own hands soon.

We go back to our 20 week appointment on March 2. I'm excited to see how much baby girl has grown!
