I should be really blogging more about this pregnancy as I am finding that reading my blogs and looking at my pictures from Xander’s pregnancy are really helping me along.
So tomorrow is our mid pregnancy ultrasound and we will hopefully learn the sex of the baby. I am really excited about this because if I end up having a girl I’ll have another shower and I have a few things that I am waiting on buying until we know the sex, like a belly button ring like this or a crib. And I want to get on with the big name search we are all set if we are having a girl she will be Zoey Morgan but if we are having a little boy it could be Owen, Westly or James David. I like James David the best.
I have been doing ok with weight gain although its something I really need to be mindful of every day. I am at 175 but will probably come down to 173 because I think those other two are just water weight. So if you count the 175 number I am up 9lbs at 18 weeks. During Xander’s pregnancy I was up 12lbs by this time.
On none weight related items I am feeling great. This pregnancy is much different from Xander’s I just feel much larger and like it is harder than his was but I can’t put it into exactly what it is. It is nice that i am so busy and I don’t spend all day every day thinking about this pregnancy, I spent way to much time thinking and talking about nothing but baby during my last pregnancy.
This week:
- I weight 175
- Started to feel real movement
- Started sleeping with a pillow between my legs
