18 weeks and counting!


Size of baby: A sweet potato


Total Weight Gain/Loss: I have gained a little back but I am still down about 4 or 4.5 pounds.

Maternity Clothes: Yep, still can wear a few stretchy things I own.

Gender: We have our ultrasound set for Thursday!

Movement: I have started feeling movement usually after I eat.  It is not consistent every day but that is okay cause I know down the road the baby won't stop moving!

Sleep: I seriously hate sleeping on my left side.  I wake up multiple times to turn over or have to get up because I am hurting.  I love sleeping on my right side...and I love pillows!  Reid would tell you he can't stand how many pillows I use at night but hey gotta do what is comfortable!  Only getting up to pee 1-2 times a night so not too bad.

What I miss: wearing my shoes.  My feet have either grown or are swelling or both!  I have a select few pairs of shoes that I am able to wear right now, and none of them include my boots!!!  I will be shopping for a new shoes I can wear to work cause I can't go shoeless! 

Cravings: I was craving a bowl of pinto beans but low and behold Reid told me he was going to put a pot on this weekend!  So yesterday I got my bowl of beans with some cheese (yes you heard me right). 

Symptoms: headaches occasionally and starting to swell in the feet and hands. 

Best moment this week: Feeling Bean moving around.


Reid and I had a busy weekend.  On Friday we went to the Southern New Mexico State Fair with friends and had a lovely time...but man do I hate being on my feet for long periods of time!  On Saturday we got up early and started putting our office in order.  Now you might say well goodness you have lived in that house since April but it has taken us this long to finally get our nice heavy book shelves placed in the house.  Our friend Gabe came out on Friday and helped Reid carry them from the garage to the office so now we were able to put things where they belong.  If you know my husband you know he has a tone of notebooks from all of his classes so they finally have a home on the bookshelves they carried in.  We also decided we needed to drain our pool because we had lots of leaves and creatures in it and we do not have a winter cover.  We came to town and rented a pump and let the entire pool drain into our yard.  By the time it was all said and done we had 5 centipedes at the bottom of the pool and all were somewhere between 6 and 10 inches long...can you say NASTY!  Back in May we bought Alice and Todd's pop-up trailer that they purchased from Aunt Ruth and Uncle Kenny.  So on Saturday we pulled it around to the front and unloaded the baby items Alice, Todd, Braeden and Paege have passed down to Bean.  They gave us a stroller, swing, high chair, rocking horse, sun shade and a hiking backpack.  They also saved all of the baby clothes so once we know if Bean is a boy or girl we will go to Albuquerque to pick it all up.  Next up we will be picking out our crib and carseat!
