Today I am 18 weeks 3 days and I am feeling fantastic!

Even though I still get tired faster, it is nothing like it was in the beginning of this pregnancy. One thing I've noticed about this pregnancy compared to with Karys is that I am less hungry this time around. With Karys it seemed like I was hungry all the time and ate everything in sight whereas with Blake, I'm sometimes having to make myself eat because I just am not hungry. I don't know if that's a difference between a boy and a girl or just another way that every pregnancy is different.

In addition to picking out a name and a room in our house to designate as the new nursery, we have picked out a bedding set for Blake as well. I've not purchased anything yet but it's all picked out. I hope to have the nursery completed no later than the end of December since my doctor thinks it is most likely I will be put on bedrest again in early January. That will give us a good three months to get everything together.

I would like to say thank you to my mom, Rachel and Danielle for helping out with blue items. Blake has quite the little collection of wash cloths, burp cloths, clothes and accessories thanks to them. I'm not freaking out quite as much as I was in the beginning :)

I am now feeling Blake move every day, which has been so wonderful! I know Tim is anxious to feel him too but it'll be a bit longer before that happens (he felt Karys around 22 weeks). And I cannot wait for Karys to feel him kick!

I'm also anxious for my next appointment in two weeks because that is the anatomy scan and we'll get to see our sweet little boy again :) Then after that appointment, I have one more regular appointment before I start seeing Dr. Patronella weekly. It's insane to think how quickly things are progressing now. With the holidays coming up, I have a feeling this pregnancy is about to really fly by and we'll be meeting our son in no time!
