Okay okay, sorry, 18 week pic is up! ;) Thanks for the reminder, I forgot to upload it here!

The baby sure is moving today. Late last night I had my hand resting on my belly – which I do quite frequently – and baby kicked. And I swear to you I felt it in my hand! A little tiny nudge. I feel like the baby’s gone from 0 to 60 in one week! I wasn’t feeling anything, now it’s kicking pretty hard! Today is the first day I’ve felt anything in a position other than laying in bed… I’m at work sitting at the desk and I felt a pop. How cool!! I just love it! Sure takes any anxiety down by a big notch when you can feel it moving around. :D

And I am also so freakin’ excited about Friday, when I will get to stop calling baby “it”!! 4 days to go! Not like I’m counting or anything…

Of course, to remind me that life is not all sunshine and roses (we wouldn’t want that, now would we), I sprung a HUGE zit right beside my nose. -.- It’s one of those big red sore ones. Owwie.

My emotions, I’ve noticed are really polar. I have good days and I have bad days, and nothing in between. I’m either feeing super happy and lovey with the husband, I’m patient and laughing and calm…. or else I am totally irritated and ready to flip my lid. I wonder if that’s a symptom of the pregnancy hormones or if it’s just me. :lol:

It’s kind of weird that the things I worried about most are small issues. I really worried what pregnancy would do to my depression and my acne… and both are honestly not much different from before. Minor differences, but certainly not the huge issue I was fearing. And then I got totally blindsided by other things, like this persistent nausea. It really never entered my mind that I’d be one of those having bad morning sickness, much less having it past 18 weeks. And yet here I am. Just goes to show you that you can’t fret too much about the future!

Every other tuesday I have a work meeting in the evening. Tomorrow is, I believe, an off-week, so I’ll be heading up to Babies R Us for one of their little free seminars. In two weeks they’re having a breastfeeding seminar, which I’d like to catch as well.

While I’m at the mall tomorrow I’m going to pick up a new bra or two. Due to the increased size of the boobage and the increased size of the belly I am having some issues with boobs sitting on belly. It drives. me. CRAZY. So, I wear my bra all the time now… that nice Hanes bra I bought at Target for cheap. It doesn’t have underwire. It’s comfy. My other bras, however? All have underwire. My boobs still have not grown enough that I need a new size… but I just can’t wear them anymore because of the underwire! So I’m going to try to find a sleep bra that fits, just to wear in bed when I’m on my laptop.
