18 Weeks & Growing!

18 weeks today, and both baby and I are going through a major growth spurt. The doctor warned me it was coming soon, and it has, as my belly continues to get a little bigger every day. Pretty soon I will look like a real live pregnant woman, vs. a college girl who just put on the freshman 15! I should probably start buying some maternity clothes soon, but for now, everything miraculously still fits (thank goodness for low-rise jeans).

We finally had our life insurance exam this week (which I survived the blood draw again with flying colors...whoo!), and as they weighed me I realized that I only had 1 pound to go until I officially turn the scale to a weight class I've never been in before. It is a scary feeling, but according to doctor's orders I still have a healthy 15-20 more pounds to gain in this pregnancy. Bring on the pancakes! No wait...Mac & Cheese...or maybe some fro yo...

At 18 weeks, the baby is the size of the can of Cream of Mushroom soup sitting in my pantry, ready to be turned into Green Bean Casserole next week! Yummm :) Another exciting thing about 18 weeks is that according to my books, I should start feeling the baby move any day now...

Ok, it's almost 10...time for bed :) I'm so lame!
