18 Weeks

April 9

1. We made a quick trip to Atlanta this weekend to celebrate our niece, Mattingly, for her 2nd birthday! This was the best family photo we could get... It is hard to get 3 kids happy for a photo. Haha! Can't wait to add Baby T to make it FOUR kids!

2. My biggest craving this week was for a hamburger so I had Whataburger one day for lunch and it was soooo yummy! It is making me hungry thinking about it now. Haha!

3. Big sister Caroline is quite a monkey these days with her climbing! It will be so fun to see how Baby T's personality is similar or different from big sis!

4. I am making a dress for Caroline for Easter. I will have to make a matching one for the fall for baby girl or a matching jon-jon if it's a boy! It is blue seersucker... I will share a picture after Easter! :)

5. I have been DIEING to find out the gender of this little one!!! I did the old wives' tale "ring on a string" test and it said boy. Haha! We will find out on the 21st... less than 2 weeks away now! Woo hoo!!

6. I am starting to wear some maternity clothes now. My shorts have gotten a little too tight to be comfortable when I sit down now, so on to the maternity wardrobe.

7. BIG NEWS this week.... I felt the first little flutters!!! :) It is so different this pregnancy, because I didn't feel Caroline move until after we found out she was a girl. So now when little one moves, I just say "the baby is moving!" I am so ready to be able to say a name instead of just "baby"... haha!

8. I love looking back and comparing how I felt with my pregnancy with Caroline to this time. I was barely starting to show at this point with C and I feel like I am definitely showing this pregnancy. Haha! I guess that's the changes a 2nd pregnancy brings.

9. I am STILL craving fish tacos... We may go to Cactus Flower this weekend and get some! :)

10. I have been sleeping pretty well. Waking up once to use the restroom and usually another time just to turn over. I really think God gets you ready for waking up in the middle of the night for feeding by waking you up during your pregnancy. It is kind of neat to see that!
