A step in the right direction

Now that Jack is out of the crib and in his big boy bed, the crib is all moved in to baby's room and ready to go! For so long the spare room has been nothing but a junk room and occasionally "Mama's" room for when she visited. Seeing the crib in there with the glider really hits the point home that in a few months our new addition will be here. Now seeing the surfer girl bedding that I had purchased over a year ago does NOT mean that we have found out anything....... we still don't know the sex. I just have a strong hunch that this is a girl and have cute accessories that I purchased in Key West last year that I put out. We're going with a surfer theme for boy or girl.......... so I'll just have more shopping to do if "Jill" is a "John". :) Nothing is coming out of the package unless we bring a baby sister home in September!

18 weeks

I went in for my 18 week visit and heard baby's heartbeat again. It was fast, as usual, but I told my OB that it means nothing to me since Jack's heartbeat was always in the 160's........ so the old wive's tale was out the window for him!

I scheduled my level II ultrasound for May 7th and will have to look away when the nether-regions are being shown!!! We can't wait to see the baby again and view how much he/she has changed from 10 weeks.

Here is my 18 week belly shot. Definitely showing, carrying high just like with Jack. I swear my babies must love to hang out in my ribs b/c it looks like this one is headed there just like big brother two years ago! I am also feeling the baby kick (feels like little taps or a fish flipping in there) but it is not flutters anymore. I love it!
