Week 18

Kent and I met with our new doctor today. He was very friendly and made me feel comfortable from the first moment I met him.

Dr. Martin let us know that the heartbeat was 147 bpm--which means boy if you believe the old wives tale.

We scheduled our 20 week ultrasound for October 1st. We can't wait to find out what we're having. It will make debating about names that much easier!

I am still exhausted every day when I get home from work, but am relieved that exhaustion is the only side effect that I am dealing with. This pregnancy has been pretty easy up to this point.

Baby's now the size of a sweet potato!
Baby's become amazingly mobile (compared to you, at least), passing the hours yawning, hiccupping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking, and swallowing. And baby is finally big enough that you'll soon be able to feel her movements.
