18 Weeks! I Love My Lil Mango!
Well....time seems to be flying by! I can't believe I'm almost to the half way mark! The baby is now about 6 inches long from head to rump! The size of a large mango! The baby is yawning, hiccuping, suckling, and swallowing! Growing so fast!
I had a little freak out a few days ago. I think I read too much on the pregnancy subject. Everything I have been reading says that I should have felt the baby by now, and I haven't felt anything yet! Maybe I just don't know what I am suppose to be feeling! I could be mistaking movement for gas bubbles! Who knows! Tanya felt Rylee at 15 weeks, but Heather didn't feel Henry until week 20. So I just have to be patient, and trust God that everything is A-OK!
I am definitely not fitting into my clothes anymore. I bought my first pair of maternity jeans at GAP the other day! Got them on sale for $13!! And they were the most comfortable things I've ever worn! I didn't want to take them off!! I'll have to get a pair of shorts or capris as well.
Looking forward to going home in a week! AND I am most excited to find out the sex on FRIDAY!! Yay! I can hardly wait! I'm a little nervous too! It will be so fun to finally know what we are having!
But remember! It's a SECRET!!

16 Weeks and Counting!!
I'm stretching!! Belly is getting bigger! And it's itchy! I grease up with cocoa butter and bio oil each morning and night, but CO is so dry that it gets soaked up right away!
I have been having some crazy, intense, VIVID dreams since I've been pregnant! I kind-of look forward to my dreams each night! I never know what's going to happen! I've had 3 dreams that it's a boy, and I just had my first girl dream the other night. And more often then not, I dream that I drop the baby! Maybe it means I'm worried I'm going to "drop the ball" as a parent or something!
I'm looking forward to going home in a few weeks! I'm looking forward to being able to talk about the baby with real live people! I haven't gotten that chance yet! And to go shopping and figure out the nursery with Mom!
The baby is the size of an avocado right now! Weighing in at a whopping 3.5 ounces! In the next two weeks, the baby is going to double in weight! I thought that was crazy! In just two weeks! I suppose that's when the "POP" happens! Maybe then I'll start to look pregnant to other people!
My energy level is up again! I've been able to start walking, biking, and doing yoga again. It's a good thing, because I am starting to gain weight in all the wrong places!
Tessa said she would bring me some maternity clothes to borrow! I'm relieved because I really didn't want to spend the money on new clothes!
That's all for now!!
Question: What was your favorite lullaby to sing? Leave it in the comment box!

Baby On The Move!
The baby's ears are developing this week, so it can hear us now! I read that the baby can recognize songs you sang to it while in the womb. I better start singing more in the shower!

The Naked Truth About Pregnancy
I ordered the book, Belly Laughs, by Jenny McCarthy. I got it in the mail today, and believe it or not, I already finished it! It was just so funny I couldn't put it down. She writes about what people don't talk about! The funny, embarrassing, and gross truths of pregnancy! I was laughing out loud at parts, like how she made her husband pull the car over so she could pee...in her friends driveway! Or how she was falling asleep mid-sentence. And how she gave up looking at her backside in the mirror because it made her depressed to see all that cottage cheese! I saw myself in her stories a lot! Some, I won't mention here....I'm sure you are relieved!
Well, I had another Dr. appointment this week. It was just a routine checkup. My blood work came back great! Nothing wrong with mommy, and nothing wrong with baby! I really liked the midwife I had this time. She was from Wisconsin. She made me feel at ease, was very friendly. I'll have to keep her in mind for my delivery :)
At my next appointment, on June 5th, we get to find out the sex! I am soooo excited! I'll have to fight the urge to go out and buy all pink or all blue baby items. I've already had to fight the urge not to buy stuff when I see it! Knowing the sex will make it even harder! And I suppose it's going to be hard to keep the news a secret! People will be mad at me I am sure! Maybe I should just tell people I never found out!
The baby is growing fast, and is now able to make facial expressions. Good ones, if it's anything like mommy! Also, a layer of hair has grown all over its body to protect it from the amniotic fluid, but it will lose it right before delivery. It can make sucking actions too! Getting ready to nurse.
Now that school is over, I will have to find some hobbies to fill my time. I plan on getting into our Rosetta Stone. So hopefully by the end of the summer, I can speak a little Spanish! I also signed up for a summer Pathophysiology class online. So that will take up some time as well. I also want to get in shape. When grandma was here, we took her to Red Rocks Amphitheater, where people were working out and running the stairs. She said, "you do this, Brianne, and your delivery will be easy!" That really stuck with me, so hopefully I can get motivated! I've been biking (not sure how much longer I can do that, due to safety) and walking hills. I'd like to get into some prenatal yoga somehow. I haven't found any videos yet.
I tried on my summer shorts today.....no way jose. Not gonna work! I guess I should invest in some comfortable capris and skirts!
I didn't take a nap today! That's the first day in a long long time! So maybe I'm getting my energy back! Let's hope!
Love you!
