July 18th marked my 18th week. Cool huh? I thought so! Can you believe I am almost half way there?! I can't decide if I hope the last half goes faster or slower than the first half! Here are a couple pics. Not the greatest but you get the idea.....
I need to learn to wear better shirts when taking pics. Usually I wear loose shirts because they are comfy and cool. I just tried to hold it tight with my hands. Maybe they got in the way. Anywho, you get the idea. I may have been totally relaxing my stomach (it is basically impossible to suck it in anymore!) so I don't really know how much of this is baby and how much was there prior to getting pregnant. ha ha. Either way, I am counting it all as baby. :)
So, here are some things going on with me at 18 weeks:
* We are pretty sure (90%+) it is a boy.
* I have gained about 7 pounds. I am SO okay with this.
* I can still wear my normal capris if I do the rubber band around the top button trick.
* Over the last week I have REALLY started to feel this baby move. I love it!
* I am a little nervous, curious to see what it feels like when he is a little bigger. He is seriously a crazy mover! That is why we could not get a 100% on the sex. He wouldn't hold still for a second!
* I had to buy a new bra WAY sooner than I had expected! ha ha! (Like 16 weeks)
* I still have headaches (going on 3 months) but that is really the only negative so I "really can't complain". :) My Dr. says they should start to go away over the next 2 weeks. I am guessing if they don't I will have them til the end. *Sigh*
* My "official" 20 week ultrasound is on the 29th. This should confirm the sex.
* I can still wear my wedding ring but not comfortably. I think it is also in part to the heat. So I have invested in a $7 ring from Avon. It does the trick!
Isn't it a beauty?! I ordered a size 6 and I am hoping it fits for the remainder of the time. If not, I can probably afford another 7-15$ for another one.

You are so cute! What a good idea to write things like that down! It will be fun to compare with your next wee one.
You look so good!!! And I agree, that is smart write that stuff down, becuase you forget. I think the ring is beautiful, especially for only $7!
You look so cute! I wore my pants for as long as I could cuz I did not wanna wear maternity jeans (maybe they have cuter ones now...). I couldn't ever bring myself to buy some. I just bought stretchy pants. It's so exciting that he's moving around so much.
That's exciting! I can't wait to hear names you guys have picked out for your little guy! Good luck!
you look great! I love bellies! they are the cutest! That is so neat to feel him move! Isn't that the best feeling ever!? I am getting soo excited for you guys! :)
Being prego is so great! Sorry you have deal with the headaches...that part sucks. But when you can feel them moving...it is the greatest!
Hey cutie! You are lookin' so dang good! And only 7 lbs? I'm pretty sure I gained that much the first week I was preggers with Ty. ;)
