18 weeks

I planned to post at 16 weeks but life has been crazy!  My 16 week appointment was uneventful and my ultrasound is set for August 15th.  We cannot wait to find out if we’re having a boy or a girl!  I have been able to feel the baby move consistently for about a week now and Jason was even able to feel it last night.  I have had a lot of hip and lower back pain this time which makes it difficult for me to sleep.  Combined with chasing Ethan around all day I have been very tired and lazy most days!

I am already anxious for this baby to be here and have already started Christmas shopping.  It’s unusual for me to get started so early but I have a feeling I will be finished early this year.

My belly is still growing very fast but I have finally stopped gaining 5lbs every week!
