18 weeks












18 WEEK BELLY

Ok, so as you may know I do not keep up with my blog, let alone know how to write. This is WHY I do not update on a regular basis, just bear with me.
I am now 18 weeks pregnant, although this pregnancy has been a breeze with absolutely no problems, it does seem to be going by wayyy to fast. I feel like our little one will arrive before we know it, and we will be so unprepared. Seth and I are both looking forward to starting our baby registry and shopping for a few things here and there After finding out we were pregnant with Rebekah, we had a huge garage sale and sold most of Levi’s baby stuff. So we are pretty much starting over again. That’s ok though, I find boy stuff to be easier and more exciting to shop for than girl stuff.






On with this pregnancy…
I have been meaning to share pictures of my growing belly for a while now. Almost half way there and I now have a child size basketball to show for it.





I'm definitely feeling little Judah move, nothing crazy just little butterfly movements which I happen to LOVE. I remember being quite hungry while pregnant with Rebekah and boy is it kicking in now. I am seriously hungry ALLLL the time, I hate it because every time I eat I feel guilty. This is probably due to having gestational diabetes with pregnancy #2 and thinking I am going to get it this time around. Part of me wishes I would have it because it will force me to eat a little healthier.








The stats
Weight gain: Not too much, only 6lbs.Stretch marks: None and I am hoping it stays this way. I have enough as it is. Movement: Yes, almost constantly. Very lightly, I love them =)
Cravings: Fruit and veggies to be honest. I have to have my ranch though.
Sleep: Wish it was better. Rebekah still gets up two times a night. I am really hoping I get a few good night’s sleep before Judah comes.
Best moment this week: When Levi asked me if baby was ok. I love it when he knows a baby is growing in my belly. He always seems so concerned. I know he is going to LOVE having a little brother.
Gender: BOY YAY!

Labor signs: None thank you God. Way to stay in the game, uterus!
What I miss: Being able to sleep on my belly and my back. I hate sleeping on my side. I am sure this is where a pregnancy pillow would come in handy. THANK YOU Seth for throwing mine away… I forgive you though…
What I'm looking forward to: Hopefully buying the ERGO Baby carrier. Found a few used ones on craigslist.
Weekly wisdom: God chose me to be this little baby’s mother. It was not a random draw. That blows my mind.
Milestones: Judah is the size of a big chicken breast lol
