*18 Weeks*


I am 18 weeks and 1 day today, which means only 13 (yes, THIRTEEN!!!) days until we find out boy or girl!  Wow, time is flying!  I only have 22 weeks left!

I've been feeling the baby more and more these past few days.  I mostly feel him/her when sitting at my desk at work or sitting on the couch.  They have been getting more and more noticeable, but the baby is still really, really low.  It brings a smile to my face each time I feel the baby move, so if you see me randomly smiling off into space, you know why.

Danny and I had a great weekend, but it was too short as always.  Friday we went to a friend's house for a cook-out, Eli ran off, we chased him, played some games, hung out then went home to hit the hay.  I was exhausted!  Saturday was a busy day as well.  We went to town to pick up a few things, got the patio furniture out of the shed (can I say Hello Spring!) and then my good friend Cierra and her boyfriend came to visit.  We hung out, caught up on my growing belly and other things in our lives and then we had a cook-out.  Later that night I had the girls over to watch New Moon, eat candy, popcorn and relax in our "Jammie Jams."  The guys played beer pong in the basement and kept the dogs entertained.  Then on Sunday we said fairwell to Cierra and Stephen after a big breakfast and I started preparing for Danny's parents to come over for dinner.  Danny smoked a boston butt on the smoker that was delicious!  We ate outside on the deck and then came inside for coffee and oreo pie - YuM! 

Like I said, it was a busy, busy weekend and come Monday morning I felt like I hadn't gotten nearly enough sleep.  As much as I enjoy entertaining and visiting with friends and family, it's definitely harder on me than my pre-pregnancy days.  I still got it, but it's a lot harder to bounce back after a busy weekend.  I'm hoping that this upcoming weekend will be low key and relaxing.  Other than a baby shower I have to attend for my friend Mickey, I have no other plans and I intend to keep it that way!
