{Almost} 18 weeks!
I cannot believe that on Wednesday I will already be 18 weeks pregnant. Even though the days have seemingly passed slowly, the weeks and months are flying by. I read in my weekly pregnancy app (oh how I love my iPhone!) that I will be full term in 20 weeks. 20 weeks. So much will be happening in those 20 weeks that they will undoubtedly go by very, very quickly, and as much as I cannot wait to meet my sweet baby and hold him/her in my arms, I also am trying to savor every moment of this pregnancy while it lasts. I am growing a miracle!
Overall, this pregnancy has (so far) been pretty easy. I was really lucky not to have any major morning sickness during my first trimester, just a lot of mega-exhaustion and occasional nausea. My complaint, of course, is this: because I didn't have actual morning sickness but did have nausea, I ate whatever food didn't turn my stomach, most of which were "comfort" foods and sweets. As such, I have gained more weight than I care to admit. There's no doubt that the majority of it has landed at my mid-section, but I am ashamed by this fact. Since my weight always has been (and likely always will be) a struggle, I know that losing the baby-weight isn't going to be an easy feat. But if this is my main complaint, I am lucky - right?
Our baby is moving around like crazy inside me, as evidenced by all 3 of the ultrasounds that we have had so far. However, I'm waiting patietly to feel it for myself! I have had a few questionable moments, where I thought that I might be feeling the baby move, but nothing that has fully convinced me yet. Oh, how I long for that moment!
P.S. Remind me of what I just said when I'm in my third trimester and the baby is kicking my bladder... :)
